November 26, 2023 | Daniel: A Model Prayer

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’s prayer models how we might pray as we see countries (even our own) and individuals deny God. Perhaps we can see also the weakness of the church as it is often compromised. But it’s ultimately an appeal to the mercy of God for forgiveness and healing. It is only in Jesus Christ that the most basic problem of sin (demonstrated in hate, violence, war, dysfunction, brokenness and more) is ultimately and finally dealt with. Where O Sin is your victory? Jesus Christ is victorious and the very power of God.
