Our Teaching Pastor, Derek, walks through Daniel chapter 3, discussing the challenges faced by the young Israelites who had to decide whether to bow down to the cultural norm or to stand firm in honoring God.

When we put our hope in the things of this world, and the circumstances around us seem out of our control, it leads to hostility & fear.  In Daniel 2, we see how a trust in God, can allow for us to respond with a confidence & hope. 

We live in a world that’s continually pushing against our core beliefs and forcing us to take a stand. Well, Daniel knew what that was like. He was constantly faced with the decision to either take a stand, or conform to those around him. Well we're all faced that same choice to make. The question we look at this week is are we willing to take a stand when it forces us to Stand Out.

Derek, our Teaching Pastor, continues our series looking at "Respectable Sins" as we talk through the sin of passing undue judgment on others. Once again, it comes down to a matter of the heart where we're putting ourselves in the place of God by elevating our opinions to the level of His Word.
