On July 6, 2025, Singapore Immanuel Church held Sunday Service.
Intern Pastor Deborah preached the sermon on Daniel 1, which examined how Daniel and the three young men who kept their faith and purity absolutely in the midst of the royal palace. Though the king has officially decreed for Daniel and the young men chosen to eat of the royal food and wine, they did not compromise on this. Even when the king’s official spoke that he could possibly lose his life if Daniel and his friends looked weaker than others, Daniel did not relent but asked that they be tested for 10 days.
Daniel’s firm faith and trust to be set apart as holy in the small things is crucial. Christians tend to conform and give in to the culture of the world, thinking that small things are not of importance. However, in a seemingly small condition of eating food, Daniel kept it holy and was greatly filled with wisdom and abilities by God that he did not lack in any way. Attendees were exhorted to keep the purity of faith by setting apart the things that they consume in media and seek to build holy habits that seeks to glorify God.
May God continue to lead all the attendees to live holy and set apart for the Lord Jesus, seeking to reveal the power of the name of Jesus Christ in being a clean and pure vessel.
