When We're Far Away From Normal | There's Another in the Fire | Pastor Joel Schulz

As Christians, we live in this world as strangers. Exiles. And now, in the middle of a pandemic, we have left behind everything familiar and don’t know what the future holds. So, how do we navigate this “new normal”? We can find a lot of hope and direction in the book of Daniel. He was also an exile in Babylon. He had to leave behind everything he was used to. He had to live a “new normal” in a culture that made life very difficult and dangerous for him and his friends. But whether they were thrown into lions’ dens or into the fire, there was another in the fire with them. God, who is more powerful than all, was always with them. He is also“in the fire” with us, too.In a world that is just turned upside down, the book of Daniel offers the knowledge that God is still at work, the confidence that it is possible to remain faithful to Christ, and the strength to live for Him in our day.
