What We Been Through

We are victorious through Christ even when life tries to consume us. Pastor Lee Jenkins uses the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to show how God preserves His people through trials. By connecting biblical truth with African American history, he reminds us that despite centuries of hardship, we don't look like what we've been through.Verses:Daniel 3:26-27, Daniel 1, Daniel 3:19-23, Daniel 3:24-27, Ephesians 2:1, Ephesians 2:4-5Key Points/Topics Covered:God's Protection in the FireHistorical Parallels Between the Hebrew Boys and African American HistoryThe Importance of Remembering and Teaching Our HistoryEconomic Empowerment and Supporting Black BusinessesStanding for Justice and Using Influence for GoodTime Stamps:00:00 - Introduction and Opening Scripture03:30 - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's Story10:45 - Historical Parallels to African American Experience20:00 - The Impact of Slavery, Jim Crow, and Civil Rights30:15 - Modern Challenges: Mass Incarceration and Economic Oppression40:00 - Four Keys to Moving Forward50:00 - Invitation to Salvation and Closing PrayerMain Takeaways:- God is with us in every trial, ensuring we come out without the scars the world expects.- Remembering and honoring our history empowers future generations to thrive.- Faith, education, economic empowerment, and justice are essential for continued progress.Call to Action:Subscribe to the Eagles Nest Church podcast, share this message with someone who needs encouragement, and visit eaglesnestchurch.org for more resources.
