Living the Message

Today MCC was blessed to have our seminary intern Mary bring us the message from the book of Daniel. Judy, Megan and Henry John read from Daniel 6: 1-23 where we find the story of Daniel in the lion's den. In this story, the advisors of King Darius grew jealous of Daniel and made a plan to get rid of him. Daniel sets himself apart in the story by refusing to compromise his relationship with God. He shows bravery in the midst of great danger, and just when it looks like the bad guys' expectations are going to be met, God saves Daniel from the mouths of the lions.

Question of the week: How do the people who live, work and play around me know I belong to Jesus Christ?

It's so important that we who bear the name of Christ live our lives with honesty and integrity so they see Christ in us. We need to treat all others as fellow image bearers or our witness to Him will not ring true. And like Daniel, we should never let anyone compromise our relationship with God.
