November 5, 2023 | Daniel: Trusting God when the World’s Against You

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 modeled a spiritual response of trusting in God and diligently seeking Him when others sought to work against him. So whether in our families, neighborhoods, or workplace living innocently before God and man brings greater spiritual vitality and honors God. In contrast, when we compromise, excuse or blatantly sin we destroy our spiritual appetites for God and dishonor Him.
