The Power of NO – The Freedom to say NO

1. Last week we spent the majority of our time talking about compromise.  This week we end with compromise again, but first we discussed the cycle of victory that you need to be aware of:

1. Grow in your dependance of God’s Word

2. Grow in your working knowledge of God’s Word

3. Grow in your meditation of God’s Word

4. Grow in your dependance of God’s Word

5. Grow in your recollection of God’s Word

6. Grow in your obedience of God’s Word

Of these six areas, which one stood out to you as an area that you can and will focus on?

2. Look over and discuss, possibly read, Daniel 3.  What can you learn from the lives of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego?  

Pastor David highlighted this story when discussing the 6th step of growing in your obedience of God’s word.  Is it possible to grow with God without facing challenges and persecution?

3. The Freedom of Saying NO was the sermon title for this final week.  The point of the sermon wasn’t “YOU” finding freedom, but rather the people around you to find freedom because of you.  Pastor said it this way, “According to Daniel 3 compromise kills our witness”.  Where in your life is your witness being compromised?

4. Take time as a group to talk openly and honestly about the sermons and what you learned.  Also, take time to pray and ask God who He has called you to be a witness to.
