Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church
We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.

Today's Points:

1: Be faithful at work.

2: Be faithful in prayer.

3: Be faithful in persecution.

Daniel couldn’t change the decree, but the decree wouldn’t change Daniel’s relationship with God.

In general (and notwithstanding the power of the Holy Spirit to work in us what we ourselves cannot) what we are in our early years we will be in our later years. If you think you’re going to be something at 80 that you’re not now, then you’d better start playing catch up. Don’t assume that you can be half-hearted now and then somehow make a big push later on.

‌—Alistair Begg, Brave By Faith

Questions for further discussion this week:

—How would you define the word "faithfulness?"
—How is faithfulness at work a part of a solid Christian witness?
—What is the connection between being faithful in prayer and being faithful in persecution?
