TAKEAWAY: What is one personal takeaway and one question that you had from the sermon?
THINKING BACK: Have you ever been in a situation when your faith offended someone? What happened? In what ways might your faith be offensive in our contemporary culture going forward?
SCRIPTURE: Read Daniel 3:16-18. How does “Even If” faith change the way we respond to God during times of difficulty, sorrow, and pain?
MAKE IT PERSONAL: Where are the places in your life that you need to say “even if” to?
REFLECT: How might the fact that God enters the furnace with us encourage or strengthen His people?
PRAY: Read Matthew 26:39 and Hebrews 4:14-16 and remember how our God enters the furnace with us.As we consider this, let’s entrust all of our concerns and hopes to God, knowing that he is with us in all of it. And as we pray let us remind ourselves that God is God, God is good, and God is still in control.
Daniel 3:1-30 ESV

Speaker: Tim Spanburg, TimS@ChristCommunityKC.org

I. WHY IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE SO EXCLUSIVE?

"The potential for intolerance lies in the logic of religions like Christianity and Islam that say their teaching derive from a divine revelation. For them, the truth that God has revealed is the most important truth there is; therefore, denying or doubting this truth is extremely dangerous, both for nonbelievers, who lack this essential truth, and for believers, who may well be misled by the denials and doubts of nonbelievers. Given these assumptions, it’s easy to conclude that even extreme steps are warranted to eliminate nonbelief." - Gary Gutting

"Biblical faith is not confidence in particular outcomes; it is confidence in a sovereign God. We trust that he knows what we cannot discern, plans what we cannot anticipate, and secures our eternity in ways beyond our fathoming...If they lived, they knew their God was near. If they died, they knew their God was still near." - Bryan Chappel
