I'm so glad that you're in the house of the Lord today. I wasn't just saying that earlier.

I never take for granted the opportunity we have to gather together and worship. So thank you for being here.

Thank you for fighting through the traffic and the cold and showing up. You look good. In fact, you look like you got confident trust in the Lord.

Anybody still got confident trust?

If you're new to social, every single year, we have a word that shapes our year,

and we believe that God forms that word in us.

And our word for this year is trust. And we'll have confident trust in the Lord. And that word comes from Scripture, Hebrews chapter 10, verses 35 through 37. Every single Sunday of 26, we're going to declare this word. So we're going to do it today. Y'all ready? You remember how to read it? You know, you don't go till I say. So y'all good.

Y'all good. Come on, let's read it as a family. So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord.

Remember the great reward it brings you. Patient endurance is what you need now so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will

receive all that He has promised. For in just a little while, the coming one will come and not delay.

Do you believe that? Come on, do you believe that thing?

Amen.

Mainstand that we're going to jump into our text for today.

And before I read it, I do just want to give a little warning because this is a familiar passage of scripture.

Those of you who are like super saved

and you've been walking with the Lord since the third trimester of your mother's pregnancy and you're a proud Sunday school alumnus and you floated in here today. You might even roll your eyes and go, oh, come on, I know that story. So even before I read it, I'm going to beg you to not allow your familiarity with this passage to rob you of the revelation that's in this passage.

The Bible is the only book that you can get fresh water from the same well.

It is the only book that when you read it, it will read you if you'll let it.

And so I want you to come with that approach to the text today as we look at Daniel

Chapter 3 and we're going to look at verses 13 through 18 and we're jumping in the middle

of the movie, a narcissistic king by the name of Nebuchadnezzar has raised a golden image

and commanded that when the music plays, everybody must bow down.
