August 11, 2024, Pentecost 12: "A Profile in Courage"

The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace is a long-time favorite of Sunday school classes. But this story is more than one of simple bravery. Rather, a radically different orientation to the world, especially secular authority, begins here. So, what is this new orientation? And how can Christians find strength for their faith in an age of complacency? Pastor David preaches (with apologies to President Kennedy for borrowing his book title) “A Profile in Courage”, based on Daniel 3:1-29.
