POINTS:

• We live in a pluralistic society.

• There is a huge push to privatize our faith both believers and unbelievers.

• There is a demonic force at work in the city.

• Every time we knowingly sin, we’re bowing to the image of an idol and sin is subjugating us.

• God may rescue us from death, but He will always rescue us through death.

• Suffering is inevitable.

• Suffering relates to our character as fire relates to gold - when we trust in Jesus.

• God is not punishing you with fire, He’s perfecting you with it.

• Jesus is the key to growing in the furnace.

“for no other god can save in this way”
