We face the challenges head on with a determination to overcome with the power of God. We know to do this because the Bible teaches us to do this! But what do you do when you try, and you push, and you press on, but nothing changes? It is easy to get to the point where you simply want to quit. Maybe you have been there or you are there now. I know this might be hard to hear, but please, DON'T QUIT! You could be one step away from a victory, but Satan will do everything possible to get you to quit! Don't Quit! God is not finished!

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - 2 Timothy 1:5 (2 Timothy 1:2-5; 3:14-17; 4:12; Deuteronomy 6:5-7; Colossians 1:18) At the heart of every mom is the desire to see their kids succeed in life. As parents, we do everything in our power to prepare them for life. We put them in school, bring them to church, teach them the basics of life, give them responsibilities and do our best to instill character as they grow up.

This part of the story is definitely inspiring, but we should be asking the question, "Why?" Why did God allow Daniel to go through so much after he was so faithful? The truth is, the lion's den was not the end, but a set up for the glory of God! Series description: How can we live faithfully in the midst of so much opposition? How can we stand strong in our faith when doubt seeks to devour us? We love the story of Daniel because it inspires us to be brave in the midst of overwhelming circumstances. We know the story of the lion's den, but God did a lot in Daniel's life before he faced the lions! We too can be brave when we learn how to stand firm in our faith! BRAVE Faith that conquers fear! For God's glory! I. Your convictions will be tried. II. God works through our faith. III. Bravery sets the stage for the glory of God!

There must be more to our faith than just knowing God. We are called to walk with God. If our strength comes from God, then we can't take a step in life without Him! What does it mean to walk with God? Daniel lived out a clear example that demonstrates what it truly means to walk with God. Series description: How can we live faithfully in the midst of so much opposition? How can we stand strong in our faith when doubt seeks to devour us? We love the story of Daniel because it inspires us to be brave in the midst of overwhelming circumstances. We know the story of the lion's den, but God did a lot in Daniel's life before he faced the lions! We too can be brave when we learn how to stand firm in our faith! BRAVE Faith that conquers fear!

"There is a people on earth that wages wars for the freedom of others, at its own expense, its own toils and risk—and stands firm not just for those at its borders, or peoples in its near vicinity, or those joint by connecting lands, but crosses the seas so that there would be no unjust rule in the world and justice, and divine and human law would everywhere prevail." 2. "Robbers of the world, having by their universal plunder exhausted the land, they rifle the deep. If the enemy be rich, they are greedy; if he be poor, they seek to control him; neither the east nor the west has been able to satisfy them. Alone among men they covet with equal eagerness poverty and riches. To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of empire; they make the world a wasteland and then tell us that they gave us peace."
