We’ve got a lot of ground to cover today, so I am going to just jump into the passage. Daniel chapters 10-12 are the same vision. Daniel 10 is an introduction to the vision. We studied that last week. Daniel 11 ish is the meat of the vision. Daniel 12 is the conclusion. We’ll be hitting that after Easter.…

We live in a broken world. It’s been broken since Adam and Eve ate the fruit in the Garden of Eden. Every generation has experienced this brokenness. In some ways, we have all experienced the same brokenness. In other ways, each generation has their own twist. In the generation of technology, where everyone…

Think about your life. What is the worst thing that you have done. Now think about the worst thing that someone close to you has done. Maybe a family member. Maybe a friend. What does it look like for you to pay for what you did? What does it look like for that other person to pay for what they did?…

We live in a time period when people want justice. We’ve had Black Lives Matter. We’ve had anti-ICE demonstrations. We’ve had climate warriors. We’ve had Blue Lives Matter. We’ve had volunteer border patrol agents. We’ve had anti-climate change demonstrations. Whatever the issue is, you can turn on the…

Have you ever had a dream that stuck with you for years? I have. I remember one dream from my childhood, probably because I had it multiple times. I was walking through a cave and my whole family was dead. I was all alone. Yeah, you can imagine how that dream troubled me and why it has stuck with me.…

We’ve been walking through Daniel, seeing how amazing God is as he proves his character to the kings of Babylon, to the people of Israel, and to Daniel and his friends. We have seen the pride of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar, and how God cut them down to size, one to repentance and the other to destruction.…

Tonight is the Superbowl. The Seahawks and the Patriots are going to face off in a game that really doesn’t matter, but I enjoy watching every year. And if you ask me who I am going to root for… I don’t like either team, so I am going to borrow my dad’s line and say that I am cheering for the referees.…

Last week, we talked about Nebuchadnezzar’s pride, and we applied it to ourselves, discussing our choice to pull worship from God or to point worship to God. We are going to talk more about pride, but three important aspects of pride found in a verse in the middle of this chapter. Than, we are going…

We are working our way through Daniel. Before we do, can I talk about my pride a little bit? Growing up, I got angry a lot, mostly because of my pride. There were certain things that really got my goat, and then I would erupt. Other things frustrated me, and I would get really quiet, because of my anger.…

Have you ever looked back at moments of your life and asked “why?” Why did that have to happen? Why was I bullied as a teen? Why did I not get into the school that I wanted to get into? Why did the closest cousin to me commit suicide? Why did one of my best friends in college die of hypothermia? Why…
