NOTES:
QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER STUDY
• Share a time when you felt pressure to go along with something you
knew wasn’t right. How did you respond?
• Honestly assess your motivations: are your decisions influenced
more by external pressures or an internal principle?
Refer to Daniel 3 and discuss:
• The king was fine with the Hebrews worshiping Yahweh—as long as
they also bowed to his idol. In what ways today do we face that same
kind of pressure to “worship God and bow to Babylon”?
• Read Daniel 3:13-18. How did Nebuchadnezzar challenge not just the
men, but God Himself (v. 15)? Why is this significant? What stands out
to you about the way Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego responded to
the king?
• In your own words, what does it mean to have godly convictions?
What are some godly convictions that guide your life?
• There were four convictions mentioned in the message. Which of
these convictions do you personally feel strongest in? Which one do
you need to grow in the most?
• What external pressures are most tempting you to compromise your
convictions right now?
• What was the biggest takeaway from this chapter or the message?
PERSONAL REFLECTION AND APPLICATION
• Identify your core, biblical convictions before you’re in the fire. Write
down at least three biblical convictions that you want to build your life
on. Pray daily that God would strengthen these in your heart so you’re
prepared before the test comes.
• Refuse to bow in “small” ways today. Choose one area this week
where you feel pressured to “blend in” or compromise and intentionally
take a stand for God in that situation. .
• If you’re in the fire, look for Jesus. Each day this week, journal or
pray through how you see His hand sustaining you, strengthening you,
or showing up in unexpected ways. Share a testimony of this with
someone to encourage their faith.
