Life constantly pressures us to compromise—at work, online, even with family. This First Sunday of Advent message explores how three young men faced an empire’s demand to conform and discovered that God’s light shines brightest in the furnace. Whether you’re facing workplace integrity challenges, social media mob pressure, or family conflicts over values, discover how faith that says “but if not” transforms trials into testimony. Learn why God’s presence in the fire matters more than rescue from it. Join us at 8:30 AM (hymns/organ) or 10:15 AM (modern music), or watch online at mcphersonfirst.org. Begin Advent by lighting the Hope candle and finding the fourth figure already standing in your flames.
