TBC Pastor of Missions and Leader Development Jim Congdon kicks off our summer message series with a grown-up look at Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace. King Nebuchadnezzar demanded his people kneel in worship of a 90-foot statue he’d had created to honor himself. As followers of God, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to kneel to this golden false idol. The penalty? The king had them thrown into a blazing hot oven. What happens next is something that the one and only God of the universe could do. Could this happen today? Of course! It happens all the time. We all worship something. It may be power, money, comfort, the status quo, technology, travel, sports, or celebrities. Sooner or later, the things to which we devote our time and energy will demand our worship. God is looking for fully-committed followers who will stand and say “no.” What does it take to stand among them?
Lead Pastor Connor Kraus stops by after the message to go a little deeper and give us a behind-the-scenes view of how the TBC teaching team selects sermon series topics and content.
