Beasts and Thrones

This week, we begin to delve into the apocalyptic portion of Daniel, and we continue to see that kingdoms of this world will rise and fall, but God's kingdom lasts forever. 

Trying To Understand

In this sermon, we'll be looking at the differences and similarities between the prophetic and apocalyptic literature in the Bible, and we'll look at how we can labor to humbly and faithfully understand these types of passages. 

Rescued From Lions

In this text, we see once again that God is faithful to rescue his people through dire circumstances. But we also get to see the importance of spiritual practices that ground us in loyalty to God. 

Weighed, Measured, and Found Wanting

In this sermon, we will see that we are more like Belshazzar than we are like Daniel in this story. We too are guilty of taking God’s holy vessels to use for our own exaltation; we too fail to understand the mind of God; and we too fall short of what is required of us in the end. Judgment is eminent for all, and our own kingdoms must fall. It is only through Jesus that our fates do not follow the same outcome as Belshazzar. 

The Most High Rules Death

In this sermon, we see King Nebuchadnezzar resurrected from his animal-like state, and it is confirmed that God is indeed the Most High who rules over all.

The Most High Rules

The loftiest of kings and kingdoms are like a tree in God’s hands. He controls them. Therefore, we do not live with fear, but with loyalty to the true King.

Through the Fire

In this sermon, we're looking at the famous passage of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego being thrown into the fiery furnace. We'll see that our worship of the one true God is not to be dependent on a guarantee of our immediate security and safety, but on the fact that he is the one true God who has guaranteed deliverance from death in Christ.

The King's Dream

In this sermon, we will work through the narrative of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, and how Daniel responds and interprets the king's dream. We will see how The God of heavens is ultimately in control, alone knows the future, and how Daniel’s response as an exile in Babylon gives hope to exiles even today. 

Life In Exile

In this sermon, we are introduced to the story of Daniel and his three friends who have been recently exiled to Babylon. The question begins to arise, how will they remain faithful to God in the midst of their Babylonian assimilation?
