A biblical declaration that encourages the disappointed, the disillusioned, and the dispirited to once again look to the God who promises us more than a safe, pain-free life Real life has a way of throwing twists and turns at even the most sincere and faithful disciple. What do we do when life doesn’t go as we expect? Do we just bear the self-imposed guilt that we must have done something wrong? Do we hunker down in the “shelter” of resentment and bitterness? Just suck it up and immunize ourselves from any further hurt? What if there was another way to press forward—even if there is uncertainty in the outcome? Based on one of his most popular sermons, pastor Mitchel Lee presents an engaging examination of three young men who choose to trust and believe in God, even when threatened with a fiery death. Mitchel recounts the story from Daniel 3 of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who refused to bow down and worship an image of King Nebuchadnezzar, choosing instead to worship God, whether or not blessings came as a result. The message will help you find courage to declare your own authentic devotion to God and see His goodness in God, even as you experience your own real-life struggles. Even If is a proclamation of both faith and uncertainty—a way to hold our faith and hope in a God who cares about our lives in the tension of the unpredictable, difficult world we live in. And after all is said and done, while God might not always remove us from the fire, his presence will change us in the midst of it. Show Less
