Living a Stand Up Life in a Bow Down World - Part 2 of Thriving in Babylon

We are constantly put in a position where we have to choose between culture and God. What are we supposed to do when we don’t know what the right answer is? How do we honor Jesus when there’s not an obvious right answer? We'll talk about how we can make decisions in wisdom, truth and love.
Counter Culture - Part 1 of Thriving in Babylon
March 19, 2023 • Scotty Priest • John 17:14–18, Daniel 1, Psalm 119:71, Daniel 2:17–18
We're kicking off a brand new series of talks around what it looks like to live for God and stand up for what you believe in a world that seems increasingly hostile to biblical faith. Followers of Jesus today face a dilemma. In a world that seems to reject everything we believe, how do we walk closely with God without caving to pressure or alienating those we hope to reach with our message? We are going to spend a few weeks studying the life of the prophet Daniel, who persevered in a corrupt culture that closely resembles our own — and emerged as an influential force in God's redemptive plan.
