This Week's Message

HEAR ME ROAR: A Study of the Book of Daniel

 "Facing the Fire" ~ Daniel 3:1-30

We will look at the story of the 3 men who would not bow before Nebuchadnezzar's statue because of their commitment to God.  They are threatened, refuse to bow, and are thrown into the fiery furnace.  There is a great statement of faith in these verses - "Even if we are not delivered, we will not bow down before your statue."  They are rescued.  The challenge for us is to stay true to God on matter what we face, because we will all face "fiery events" in our lives.  We are challenged to trust in God no matter what the consequences.
