Daniel 3:14-18
(This sermon was bracketed by videos of songs loved by Pam, a Christian who died of cancer)
OPENED WITH PRAYER
READING: Daniel 3:14-18 ''Nebuchadnezzar said to them, ''Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up? Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, well and good.

BUT IF NOT, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.''

Well good thing - a little faith is all I have, right now
But God, when You choose to leave mountains unmovable
Oh give me the strength to be able to sing 'It is well with my soul'''

So we brought the camping to them. There was a campfire, hotdogs, and fellowship... and we sang a number of songs.

That song summed up ho ...
