Faithful under Fire: He's With You in the Fire - Pastor Dan Foster 09/08/26

Caroline, Sue and Rob read Daniel 3 and Pastor Dan Foster speaks on God being with us in the fire at Pembury Baptist Church on 9th August 2026.

If you would like to think further on this passage and sermon, here are a few questions that might help:

1. Nebuchadnezzar insisted people bow down and worship his golden statue. Dan suggests we have bowed down before the god of materialism in our day. What do you think about that - do you agree?

2. People were forced to worship the golden statue. God doesn’t force us to worship him but looks for us to worship him freely, in Spirit and in truth. How can we choose to do that in everyday life?

3. Maybe you or someone you know is facing a difficult time or feeling under pressure right now. Can you take heart from the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego - that God is with you even in the midst of it all?

4. Do you have a regular pattern of praying, of coming before God? Something that will help sustain you through moments of pressure?

5. God acts powerfully to save Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego - it’s a miracle. Can you pray God will move in power? Where could you believe him for a miracle?

6. 'Keep your eyes on Him, even in the midst of the fire’. Take a moment to pause and set your heart upon God.
