October 8, 2023 | Daniel: Uncompromising

Series Overview:

God stands tall through the entire book of Daniel with His grand plan for an unimaginable, but truly wonderful future victorious kingdom. God is on a mission and raised up Daniel who believed Him! His life and the lives of his friends lived radically counter-cultural, seeking the Lord which moved them to wisely focus on the important things, the essential things, and leaving the temporary pleasures and promises of this world behind. Though ultimately given great earthly privilege and position, faith and God’s ways have its own rewards. In a world of pain, suffering, and confusion, Daniel modeled what it means to follow the Lord in His perfect plan. So today, the cost of following Jesus is high, but God will vindicate His people. This book encourages us to persevere in the Lord’s plan as the best way to the best world.

Weekly Overview: 

The Lord gives wisdom to those who (by faith) seek him diligently in the midst of a hostile society. Daniel and his friends lived in a decadent, godless culture, yet did not compromise morally. How is it that some believers can stand against the moral decay of those around them? Why do so many cave in to the moral morass of our society? Daniel gives us some good insight into how to live for God when surrounded by so many who do not want to live for God.
