Dear Friends,
The Hebrew Scriptures are full of stories about people who made big
changes or took great risks in order to be faithful to God. One of the
most iconic of these stories features three young men named Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego. For generations, this particular story has been
used to remind children and adults that there are folks who literally put
their lives on the line in order to stay true to God’s teachings and desires.
That being said, a story like this brings up several questions. How do we
know which teachings of the Bible are correctly interpreted and
understood by humanity? How do we know God’s will? How do we
know what is worth fighting for and what is worth walking away from?
During this week’s worship service, it is my hope that we might discern
some answers to these questions as well as reflect on the non-negotiables
of our faith. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday in-person or online
through the live-stream as we dive into this interesting topic!
Take Care,
Luke
