Tonight we switched things up and had no group time and no worship time. Instead we started things with a klondike bar memory verse game. Then went straight to a egg hunt. After that was done we all had to take an egg and hold it till the end of service. We started the message by playing a game of truth or dare. After this we talked about three young Israelite men who had been carried into captivity. They had worked their way up into leadership but then were faced with a big choice. The king had constructed a golden statute for all the leaders to bow to, if they didn't they would die. The three men decided that they would not bow and they were brought to the king who told them he would kill them if they didn't. We read their response in Daniel 3:13-18, in which they tell the king they are willing to die rather than bow to anyone or anything but God. He throws them into a furnace but they end up not dying because God saves them. So what does that mean for us?
We are to be both truth and dare people. We should know the truth, we should speak truth, we should live out truth. We should dare to be different for God, we should dare to stand up for what is right, and we should dare to trust God. Both truth and dare stretch us from our natural way and both can help us grow in our relationship with God. We were then challenged to open the eggs, which had a dare for the week that would stretch us in our relationship with God.
