LINES IN THE SAND

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 1

This week, Pastor Jarrett Stephens preaches a hard-hitting sermon about the importance of living a Biblical Worldview in a less than godly world. Although this is a stand-alone sermon, it is basically the FINAL finale for the Daniel series he completed a few weeks ago.

Find Pastor Jarrett Stephens’ sermon here.

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Pastor Jarrett begins the sermon giving a preview of his coming Fall Sermon Series and a bit of a history lesson about the Texas Revolution and the “Victory or Death Letter” that is on display at the Alamo.

He then preaches about the “lines in the sand” that Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were forced to make in order to take a stand for God.

Scripture References: Daniel 1:8; Daniel 3:15-18; Daniel 6:10

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER

2 Corinthians 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”

O Mighty Father, creator and sustainer of all,

We come to you now lifting our praise and thanksgiving to you.

Continue to hold each of us in the palm of your hand.

Dry our tears and calm our fears.

Send the Helper, the Holy Spirit, to guide and teach us all things.

May we walk between the guardrails you have established, being careful to obey your statutes.

Father, pour your love into our hearts.

Fill your saints to overflowing, enabling us to share the miracle of salvation in which we walk.

Thank you, Father, for hearing our humble prayer.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all.

Amen
