Yesterday we continued in our series in the book of Daniel, as we considered the madness of King Nebuchadnezzar - not just his eating grass and living in the fields, but his ignoring God's warnings and his pride. Nebuchadnezzar is a case study of how 'God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.' 2 Peter 5:5.

At the Family Service on Sunday morning, we were in Daniel 3, as King Nebuchadnezzar's orchestra called for everyone to worship his golden statue. What will happen when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego say no? The fiery furnace awaits. Warning - this is a noisy one, so turn your volume down!
