You Don't Have to Bow to Belong

You Don't Have to Bow to Belong

Nov 08, 2026

Passage:Daniel 3:1-26

Pastor: Mariah Bliss

Series: Jesus For Everyone

Category: Old Testament

Keywords: jesus, god, faithfulness, belonging, conformity, exclusion

Summary:

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Babylon gave them new names. They served Babylon without worshiping Babylon. #1. BOW- The Barrier of Conformity: Sometimes justice asks us to examine what we have placed in the doorway. Because there is an important difference between the offense of the gospel and the offense of our preferences. #2. BURN- The Barrier of Exclusion: “Conformity says, “Become like us if you want to belong.” Exclusion says, “And if you refuse, there is no longer a place for you here.” “And who is the god who will deliver you out of my hands?” They weren’t trying to get attention. Their faithfulness got attention. We form our loves in the quiet. We form our loyalties in the quiet. We form our convictions in the quiet. #3. BELONG- The Barrier Jesus Removes: Visions of Belonging: Babylon - You can belong if you bow. Jesus - You who were far away have been brought near.
