Most likely you've heard the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, but you've never heard it like this. 

The Israelites (also known as the Hebrews) were slaves in Babylon when the three Hebrews boys got an opportunity to be more than that.  Most people in this situation would be so grateful for the opportunity that they would do anything to stay in the king's good graces.  However, the Hebrew boys made a resolve to live for God like the covenant was never broken.  Even though it looked like God had forsaken them they still made a resolve to serve only Him.  And they took that resolve all the way into the fire where Christ was right there to protect them.

It was their lifestyle that showed their obedience to God - not their lips.  Listen as Pastor Cox pushes you to look at your life and see if your life shows that you believe in Jesus Christ who will be there to save you too when you forsake fame, notariety and position in this life for a life lived sold out to your Savior.

Do you sometimes feel beat down?  You're tired of the fight that it seems to take to live sold out to Christ.  You're almost ready to quit.  You know what?  Many throughout history have felt the same way.  And at that point, they had a choice - give in to discouragement and quit or trust that just as God delivered his people many times in the past, He would come through again.

For the Israelites coming out of Egypt and headed into the promised land, there was nothing standing in the way of them getting what God promised them...nothing except Discouragement.  Listen as Pastor Cox describes what Discouragement can do in the lives of God's chosen people if you let it.
