🛤️Sermon Title: The Sovereignty of God Is My Sanity
🎤Speaker: Elder Dormeus
📅 Date: May 24, 2025
📍 Location: Sichem SDA
📖 Text: Daniel 3

What do a fiery furnace, a job loss, and an unexpected blessing have in common? In this bold and vulnerable sermon, Elder Dormeus brings to life the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. It’s not just a children’s Sabbath School favorite, but a real-world guide for standing tall when everything around you says to bow.

With layered storytelling and deep conviction, he reminds us that God doesn’t always pull us out of the fire. Sometimes He joins us in it. And when He does, you won’t come out smelling like smoke.

🧩 In This Message:

A challenge to move closer, both literally and spiritually, as the preacher invites the congregation to the front pews and reminds us of the healing power of human connection.

A fresh take on Daniel 3 where three young men refuse to compromise their faith and God honors their stand with His presence.

A personal testimony about being fired one day and offered a better job the next, revealing how God sometimes uses disruption to redirect you.

A reminder that if you compromise to get somewhere, you’ll have to keep compromising to stay there. But when God elevates you, no one can shake it.

A vivid depiction of heaven’s response to conviction. The king turns up the furnace, and Jesus shows up before the fire even starts.

The striking truth that in the fire, the only thing that burned was the rope. It was what was holding them back.

A reflection on suffering. The fire might actually be God’s tool to set you free from fear, anxiety, people-pleasing, or self-doubt.

A word on witness. Even a pagan king could recognize God, not because he read Scripture, but because he saw God through those who stood for Him.

🎧 Listen If You’ve Ever:

Been punished or isolated for doing the right thing
Felt like your trials were more than you could bear
Needed hope that your suffering still had purpose
Wanted to believe that God really is with you, even when things don’t make sense

🙏🏾 Final Word:
Before they entered the fire, Jesus was already there. And when you come out, not even the smell of smoke will be on you.
