What We Been Through

We are victorious through Christ even when life throws us into the fire. Pastor Lee Jenkins uses the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to remind us that God’s presence protects and preserves us through every trial. Drawing parallels between biblical deliverance and African American history, he encourages us to celebrate resilience, faith, and progress.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 Presence in the FireParallels Between Biblical Trials and African American HistoryThe Importance of Remembering and Teaching Our HistorySupporting Black Businesses and InstitutionsStanding for Justice and Using Influence for GoodTime Stamps:00:00 - Introduction and Worship with Oh How I Love Jesus05:00 - Reading from Daniel 3:26-2710:30 - We Don't Look Like What We've Been Through Theme Introduction18:00 - Historical Parallels: Slavery, Jim Crow, and Civil Rights30:00 - Modern Challenges: Mass Incarceration and Economic Oppression40:00 - Four Steps to Move Forward: Faith, Education, Support, and Justice50:00 - Invitation to Salvation and Closing PrayerMain Takeaways:- God’s presence ensures we come through trials without lasting harm.- Remembering and honoring our history strengthens our identity and future.- Faith, education, economic empowerment, and justice are keys to 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.
