Standing firm in the fiery trial

Daniel 3:1-18

What price would you be prepared to pay for your faith? 

1. The Demand of Idols

• Pressurising factors
• Voice of reason and rationalisation 

Application:

• Identifying our idols

2. The Response of Faith

• Confidence in the power of God (17)
• Submission to the will of God — ‘But even if he does not…’ (18)

Application:

• Wonky Christian theology today
• God was not there for me
• The path of idolatry – I must have....
• The path of faith – I would like to have…. ‘but even if he does not..’

Next week: Daniel 3:19-30
