March 17, 2024 | Daniel: God’s Grand Plan to Achieve the Unimaginable

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:

This is the last message in the series on Daniel. The focus will be on the “Christ Sightings” in the book to achieve the unimaginable.  Three main ones will be reviewed: 1) the great stone that crushes the kingdoms of this world (2:34-35, 44); 2) the Son of Man who is given dominion by the Ancient of Days (7:13-14); and the coming Messiah who will be cut off (9:25-26).  All these will show God’s Grand Plan fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth.  All of this is written to encourage, sustain, and strengthen us to fight the battles we face in the 21st century.
