In this week’s sermon, “In the Fire,” our Youth Pastor Amanda Mackie helps us to look into a very important part that we very much often overlook when reading this so well-known story of the three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

“We Are the People of God,” 1 Peter 2:1-12
“I will be their God and they will be my people.” This was not something God said once in passing or something he said because he got excited or got emotional.

“Bear One Another’s Burdens,” Galatians 6:1-5
Last week we talked about James 5:16, what I personally believe to be the most difficult of all of the “One Another’s” of the New Testament where James gives us this command, “Confess your sins to one another.” It’s hard to be that vulnerable. It’s hard to be that honest, it’s hard to be that...
