Have you ever felt pressure to compromise your faith—to bow to something other than God? Babylon represents the culture of compromise, calling us to trade faithfulness for comfort. In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse to bow to Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image, even when threatened with the fiery furnace. Their story reminds us of this truth: Faithfulness means resistance. Resolve leads to resilience. And our refuge is not found in avoiding the fire, but in walking with Jesus through it.
💡 In this message from the SAFE Series, Pastor Josh shares on :
Resistance — Faithfulness to God means resisting pressure, refusing idols, and standing firm in a culture of compromise.
Resolve — A holy determination to obey God, even when it costs us. “Even if He does not… we will not bow.” (Daniel 3:18)
Resilience — The fire didn’t consume them; it freed them. What bound them was burned off, and the Son of God stood with them in the flames.
📖 Key Scriptures:
Daniel 3
Isaiah 43:2–3 — “When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up…”
2 Chronicles 16:9, 1 John 5:21, 1 Peter 2:11–12
🔥 Big Truth: Jesus doesn’t always deliver us from the fire, but He will always walk with us through the fire.
Part of the SAFE Series — a journey through Scripture where we discover God as our refuge: our strong tower, our safe place, and our Savior in the storm, the flood, and the fire.
