BRAVE: Faith that conquers fear! — For God’s glory!

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Daniel 6 (John 15:4; Ephesians 6:10; Daniel 6:1-11, 16-17, 19-23 & 25-27; James 1:2-3)

 

When we think about the story of Daniel, we often go straight to his encounter with the lion's den. This part of the story is definitely inspiring, but we should be asking the question, "Why?" Why did God allow Daniel to go through so much after he was so faithful? The truth is, the lion's den was not the end, but a set up for the glory of God!

 

Series description: How can we live faithfully in the midst of so much opposition? How can we stand strong in our faith when doubt seeks to devour us? We love the story of Daniel because it inspires us to be brave in the midst of overwhelming circumstances.  We know the story of the lion's den, but God did a lot in Daniel's life before he faced the lions! We too can be brave when we learn how to stand firm in our faith!

 

BRAVE

Faith that conquers fear!

For God's glory!

 

I. Your convictions will be tried.

II. God works through our faith.

III. Bravery sets the stage for the glory of God!
