Tonight’s message, “Standing Up in a Bow-Down World,” calls believers to resist cultural pressure and stay on mission regardless of headlines or heat. Drawing from Daniel 3, we learn how Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego model unwavering allegiance to God: don’t let opposition pull you from your assigned position, keep your faith-voice front and center, and when pressure rises, worship—don’t wilt. The fiery furnace becomes a platform for God’s public power, where bondage burns off, Jesus meets us in the fire, and spectators see a clear testimony. Practically, we’re urged to guard our focus, refuse compliance with idols of the age, keep the Great Commission in view even in trials, and expect God’s favor on the other side—promotion, milestones, and a witness that carries people with us into the kingdom.
