Why should we think Bultmann's "Ecclesiastical Redactor" was Polycarp of Smyrna?

Join us as we continue our series in the book of Revelations. The church in Smyrna was pressed and persecuted and we can learn from what Jesus says to them during their times of suffering.

The parables in the Bible are not just obscure stories - they reveal God's character, His Kingdom, and how we should live. Listen as Pastor Alan brings home how the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed or a little yeast.Scriptures ReferencedMatthew 13:31-35; Romans 14:1-18; Colossians 1:13-14; 1 Peter 2:9-10About SpringhouseIf you're looking for a church in Smyrna, TN that is focused on Loving Big, Living Truth, and Healthy Family, we'd love to connect with you.

Real Prosperity Rev 2:8-11 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #RevelationRevealed RR7 My friends, our Scripture reading today comes from Revelation chapter 2, verses 8 through 11. Let's listen to what the Word of God says: "And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death." Now friend, Jesus Christ Himself is speaking these words to the church in Smyrna. And the message is clear: No matter what persecutions or trials you face, be faithful even unto death, and you will receive the crown of life. Jesus identifies Himself as the first and the last, the eternal God who died and rose again. And because He lives, we too shall live. No grave could hold our Savior, and no persecution can separate us from His love. The believers in Smyrna faced poverty and slander from false Jews, but Jesus calls them rich in faith. My friends, true prosperity is not houses and lands - it's having Jesus in your heart! Don't let so-called "prosperity preachers" deceivingly tell you that God's blessings are measured by your bank account. Trust in God, not gold! Now Jesus warns that some will be cast into prison and face tribulation. But He commands, "Fear none of those things!" Keep your eyes on the crown of life. Christian, no matter what trials you're facing today, Jesus walks with you through the fire. Keep looking to the prize that awaits you on the other side! Finally, Jesus admonishes us all: "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." My friend, are you listening? The Spirit of God is speaking to us today through this passage. He's saying: Be faithful, stand strong, cling to Jesus - and overcometh this world! Won't you heed Christ's call today? Turn from sin, trust in Him, and you shall receive that glorious crown of life. There's a day coming when no more sorrows will weigh down our heads. But until then, we must run this race with endurance, knowing that Jesus will see us through to the end. Amen!

On August 12, he allegedly drove a 2020 Toyota Camry under the influence of alcohol and/or marijuana on Windy Hill Road in Marietta. Hernandez rear-ended another vehicle at a red light, failed to move his functional vehicle to the shoulder, and engaged in a heated altercation with the other driver until police arrived. He resisted arrest, kicked an officer in the face, and displayed signs of impairment, including incoherent speech, unsteadiness, and bloodshot eyes. Marijuana and empty alcohol bottles were found in his car, but he refused to cooperate with blood or urine tests. Hernandez also made threats during his arrest.

Col. Michael Parks, the new commander of the 94th Airlift Wing responsible for Dobbins, emphasized the importance of the base's surroundings and potential encroachment. While there are no plans to change the base's mission, continued growth and encroachment could pose challenges. The Pentagon is considering relocating part of the 81st Readiness Division to Dobbins, potentially bringing 700 more soldiers and a $78 million investment. Attendees were urged to lobby congressional representatives to avoid short-term funding via continuing resolutions. Lockheed Martin's Marietta plant, adjacent to the base, is experiencing growth and recently secured a significant aircraft order from Australia, ensuring production until 2030.         STORY 5: Cobb School District says reading bowl still on while questions remain The Cobb County School District is refuting reports that the 2024 Georgia Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl (HRRB) has been canceled due to controversies surrounding books. The district confirmed that preparations for the HRRB, open to students in grades 4-12, are underway and will commence in January. Concerns arose because some teachers and media specialists fear repercussions after recent incidents, including a teacher's termination for reading a book on gender inclusivity and the removal of two books from school libraries for containing sexually explicit content. The removals have created a climate of fear among educators who worry about job security. The district denied these allegations and requested specific details rather than media reports to address the claims.   Story 6:  Kennesaw State gets long-awaited game with Chattanooga Kennesaw State's football program will finally face off against Chattanooga, a fellow Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) program located less than 100 miles away, after previous scheduling difficulties. The matchup is significant for Kennesaw State as it transitions to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Conference USA next year. Coach Brian Bohannon expressed a desire to play nearby teams to engage the fan base and increase familiarity with opponents. So far, Kennesaw State has played 12 games against current Southern Conference (SoCon) programs, with a record of 8-4. This game against Chattanooga marks a long-awaited addition to their schedule, with limited future SoCon matchups currently planned.   We'll be back in a moment   Break:   Powers  - Ingles 2 - JRM   Story 7:  Schrieffer   And Now, Bruce Jenkins talks with Leah McGrath from Igles about Probiotics   ***McGrath***     …Back with final thoughts after   Break:   - Henssler 60 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

The crash took place around 10:18 p.m. on East-West Connector near Creekside Villas Way. According to the Cobb County Police Department, an 18-year-old driver was traveling west at a speed well above the 45 mph limit when the vehicle left the road onto the grass shoulder. While attempting to steer back onto the road, the car spun across the westbound lanes and collided with a tree in the center median.

The incident took place on Smyrna Powder Springs Road near Vineyard Way. A 31-year-old Marietta man was eastbound on a black moped when a vehicle turned left from Vineyard Way in front of him.

As a result, students were kept in their 4th-period classes for an additional 15 minutes. The school's principal, Diona Brown, assured parents that the situation occurred in an isolated area of the campus, and no students were at risk during the incident. After the police department's assistance, the school resumed its normal schedule, and the principal promised to maintain open lines of communication with parents regarding any matters affecting the school and their children.     STORY 5: art The partnership between Wellstar and Augusta University Health Systems (AUHS), announced in December, officially commenced operations. This 40-year agreement will see Wellstar invest nearly $800 million over the next decade in AUHS facilities, including Augusta University Medical Center. This partnership aims to enhance healthcare across Georgia, expand telemedicine programs for rural areas, and address the state's physician and nurse shortage. Despite criticism from some state lawmakers, Wellstar defends its hospital closures, stating that they were due to aging infrastructure, low patient volumes, rising labor costs, and the loss of coronavirus relief funds, making them distinct from the new partnership with AUHS. The unified system resulting from this partnership will be called Wellstar MCG Health.       We'll be back in a moment   Break:   Powers  - Ingles 2 - JRM   Story 6: ksu   In the season opening college football game between Kennesaw State and Tusculum, Kennesaw State's quarterback, Jonathan Murphy, made an impressive play midway through the third quarter. He executed a pirouette to evade a defender and ran for a 55-yard touchdown. However, in the same game, during the fourth quarter, Kennesaw State's Deonte Morris intercepted a pass and had a clear path to the end zone. Instead of scoring an 80-yard touchdown, he dropped the ball right before crossing the goal line. His teammate, Jordan Miles, picked up the ball and was credited with the touchdown. Despite the mistake, Coach Brian Bohannon emphasized the lesson learned and the importance of hustle. Morris may be teased by his teammates but has hopefully learned from the experience. The Owls went on to win their opener 38-7   Story 7: gilbert   Nebraska tight end Arik Gilbert, a former Georgia transfer and highly-rated prospect, was arrested in Lincoln for his alleged involvement in a break-in at a vape and liquor shop. Gilbert is accused of attempting to steal over $1,600 worth of vape products, cigars, lighters, and Delta 8 after breaking into SJ's Liquor and Vape Shop around 2 a.m. Police found him shirtless inside the store when they responded to a burglary report. Gilbert was arrested without incident after he crawled through a shattered glass door. He is charged with burglary, which is a felony, and faces a potential 20-year prison sentence. Gilbert appeared in court via Zoom and decided to represent himself, but the judge appointed the public defender's office to represent him. He was granted bond at $5,000, with a $500 payment required for release, and is scheduled for another court appearance next month.     …Back with final thoughts after   Break:   Henssler 60 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

The commission voted 3-2 to approve a three-year contract with Transdev to operate and maintain the CobbLinc bus system, costing about $30 million for one year. Commissioners Keli Gambrill and JoAnn Birrell opposed the contract. The contract drew scrutiny due to Transdev's recent acquisition of First Transit, the previous operator. The contract increase from the prior one was explained as being due to maintenance costs for the aging fleet and increased personnel costs. The transit tax referendum was also discussed, and while ridership has dropped, CobbLinc maintains busy bus routes.   STORY 5: seniors   The Senior Citizen Council of Cobb County celebrated National Senior Citizen Day by recognizing residents for their volunteer work. Awards were given to seniors who volunteered at food banks and senior centers. The event also marked the 50th anniversary of the council. With seniors being the fastest-growing age group in the U.S., the event highlighted their active participation in community matters and legislative advocacy. Chair of the Cobb Board of Commissioners, Lisa Cupid, expressed the importance of seniors' input on policy areas like housing and transportation. Awards were given to individuals for their contributions to various volunteer organizations and community services.   Story 6: walton   In their Region 5 7A opener, Walton's softball team secured a dominant 17-0 victory against Wheeler.

How can you prepare your children for suffering and persecution?

If you are suffering through some tough issue today, you might be ready to see God in a new way.

Pastor Garry Clark gets back into his “Last Days Church” sermon series with a message on another one of the two churches that were not condemned in the book of Revelation; The Church at Smyrna! Today's message: THE SUFFERING CHURCH!

Suffering has a limit. God won't allow more than is needed for your good and His glory. If you feel like you're at that limit, get some encouragement.

If someone wanted to give you an incredibly huge gift, you wouldn't ignore them. But someone does want to give you an incredibly huge gift.

Does it ever feel like no one understands what you're going through? There is one person who knows exactly what you're feeling.

Faith came to France very early and very strong. It seems likely that traders brought the Gospel from distant Smyrna (modern Izmir in Turkey) to Lugdunum (modern Lyon). The blood of martyrs was seed. Blandina, a sickly slave, emerged from her trials an epic hero, honored forever. Irenaeus, the globetrotting scholar-bishop, arose as the second century's greatest theologian.
