This week Carole reads from the book of Daniel. This week Mike preaches his first sermon at Grace. Mike is a deacon at the Church and family a man who works in the IT industry. The story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is one that is familiar to many of us from Sunday School.  But this passage is a more than just a story for children and has much to teach us about how we deal with challenges to our faith and how we can maintain our witness. Using the key players as a framework, we can see how Nebuchadnezzar thought he could go against God's plan, but ended up acknowledging God; understand why and how Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego took a stand for what they knew was right even in the face death; and we see how God vindicated their stand and advanced His plan of salvation.  Finally we consider the implications for us as believers in the 21st century and our witness in an increasingly secular and disbelieving world.
