This Week | June 6 – 12, 2025
June 8 | Ordinary People, Extraordinary God, Daniel 1, 2, and 6, Part 2 – Daniel, Being Faithful Right Where You Are At – Pastor Mark Hovermale
Synopsis: Daniel lived a life of extraordinary faith in the middle of challenging circumstances and he stayed faithful to God no matter what the costs were. There are key lessons we can take from his faithfulness and apply to our lives today in our own faith journeys.
Fighter Verse: Daniel 1:8 – But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
