Memorial Day
Memorial Day
I love our country.
I love the fact that it has been under the blessing of God since it’s conception.
It was founded on the principles of the Bible by men that feared God and eschewed evil.
These blessing were not free.
They were only afforded to us through they greatest of sacrifices.
In a gesture much like that of our Lord Jesus Christ, men and women laid down their lives so that we can have the joys and freedoms of this great nation.
I want us to stand together on this Memorial Day weekend and give a shout of praise for all our family and friends and even strangers that were will to die that we might live the way that we do.
Stand with me and give a praise of thanksgiving.
Remain standing as I pray.
Communion
The freedom of our country didn’t begin with the sacrifice of men but ultimately with the sacrifice of Christ.
It was God who first was willing to give his Son so that we could have the life and freedom we now possess.
The bread represents the body of our Lord broken, bruised, and battered for the iniquity of us all.
The wine represents the life of Jesus that was poured out on the cross not only taking his life but giving life to all who would receive it.
If you have been healed by the strips of Christ’s broken body and you have entered into a covenant relationship with God through the blood of His Son.
I invite you to come and remember the Lord through this time of communion.
If you are desiring to have this relationship with God please reveal that by coming and standing with me here at the front.
Let us pray and thank the Lord for freedom granted to us through Jesus His Son.

Introduction:
The country we live in now does not hold the same values as it once did.
Even the fact that we have “In God We Trust” on our money is an offence to some.
The values and godly expressions of the Bible are no longer the final authority for life and practice in this country.
People have taken there civil liberties to a place of offences to God and Man.
When the world view of a people change so do the rules.
We, as Christians are demanded to tolerate or even endorse lifestyles that we know to be an abomination to God.
We are now having to navigate waters that we have never sailed before.
The divide over these issues is so strong in our country that it’s only a matter of time until one side wins and one side looses.
So what do we do when our government is making laws that go directly against our core beliefs and even the very commands of God.
How do we live peaceably among men in a godless society.
This is by no means the first time this has happened in history.
And this morning I want us to open our Bibles to Daniel chapter 3 and let’s see how the boys from Jerusalem handled it.
Daniel
Daniel 3:4
This is a problem for the Hebrews.
It is in direct violation of the first commandment from God.
Exodus
Exodus 20:
There were many Hebrews that would have been in the land at that time.
Everyone must choose what kind of follower they will be.
The compromising Christian
Or the unwavering Believer
Body:
Three rules for when you must break the rules:
1.
When the world makes you choose, choose God.
Dan 3:13
Obey until you can’t obey!
Obey God above all!
Count the Cost!
Dan
Their faith never wavered on the mighty hand of God.
God has the power to save.
God has the power to deliver when necessary.
Until you are willing to die you don’t truly live.
What do you stand for?
Are you willing to stand alone?
2. When the Fiery Trials come look for Jesus in the Midst.
Dan 3:19-23
Jesus is aware of your fiery trials!
Is 43:
Jesus will meet you in the trial!
When it seems that all hope is lost, Jesus will meet you in the trial.
When the furnace has been heated more than you can stand it, Jesus will meet you in the trial.
When there is not way out don’t you doubt, Jesus will meet you in trial.
Dan 3:24
2 Cor 4:
3. When we stand in the midst of the trials the world will take notice.
The fiery trial draws people closer to God!
Dan 3:
When Jesus meets you in the trial, you don’t want to come out.
Being with Jesus in the trial is better than being without Jesus with no trial.
Your fiery trial will bring glory to God!
Dan 3:28
God uses the fiery trials to promote his people!
Conclusion:
As we bow our heads together this morning and concentrate on the message.
I wonder if you are facing a fiery trial in your life today?
The world is asking you to compromise everything you are or face the fiery furnace and your trying to stand.
If you willing to stand in the face of the trial God will stand with you and Jesus will meet you in the trial.
Are you tired of letting the world dictate your life of rebellion and pain?
Jesus will meet you in the trial.
