November 19, 2023 | Daniel: Our Only Hope

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: 

Daniel receives another vision that God is all-knowing of the past, present and future. God was paving the way for the fullness of time in which to send the promised Messiah. This is tightly tied to the vision of Daniel 7 taught a week earlier. Our only hope is in God who intervenes in history and our lives.
