The God we serve is able to deliver us… But even if he does not… we will not serve your gods
Daniel 3:17-18
1-18 – The Pressure to Conform
The Pressure Cooker of Cultural Conformity
Bowing under the pressure of the authorities
Bowing under the pressure of our culture
The Resolve of Counter-Cultural Christianity
God is able to save us
We will not serve other gods

V19-30 – The Faith to Stand Firm
God Delivers us through our trials
Nebuchadnezzar’s furnace proves the ability of God to save
The testimony of our accusers proves God’s deliverance
God is with us in our trials
God is able to save us
We will not serve other gods
THINK
If you’re not a Christian…
God makes a person’s response to Jesus the single determining factor in whether or not that person is saved from hell
If you are a Christian…
God is with us in our trials
We will be vindicated in the end
Trust Him
