October 15, 2023 | Daniel: Equipped for Life

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: 

There is a standoff between God (His kingdom) and the kingdoms of this world. This can be brought down to the individual level as we seek God’s will and leading in matters. God has equipped us to do everything He has called us to do. More significantly, as we live for God, we will stand out, thereby giving testimony to the greatness of God. Daniel believed in God and was willing to put it all on the line. God has equipped all of us to live a uniquely Christ-centered life driven by the power of the Holy Spirit.
