This week we look at Daniel chapter 6, the chapter in which we get the famous story of Daniel being thrown into the Lion's den. We consider the Biblical imagery of Lions, whether or not Christians can break the law and a story about Martyrs in the 4th century.

In Daniel chapter 5 we are introduced to King Belshazzar. We look at his route to becoming king and the writings that speak about him. We also look at repentance involving confession to one another and the value of knowing our sins through the practice of examen.

In chapter 4 we see Nebuchadnezzar's sad mental state and how rapidly it deteriorate. But, we see that wasn't the end of his story. This brings up how important the topic of mental health is and how we as Christ Followers can address it in ourselves and in others. How we should talk about it, de-stigmatize it, de-glamorize it and confront the darkness with light.

In this episode on Daniel chapter 3, we look at Nebuchadnezzer's attempt to avoid God's promise, how this chapter has formed Christian polticial ideologies over the centuries, a bit about Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, and an inspiring example of non-participation in WW2.

This week as we look at chapter 2, we look at Nebuchadnezzer. How God's revelation to him is a sign that the Gospel would one day be preached to the Gentiles, how God caught his attention where it could be caught, Nebby's rule and mankind's role as image-bearing-rulers, the temporary nature of "Babylon" and how important it is in the face of Babylon to hold to the Bible's narrative.

Hey church, here is some bonus content on the book of Daniel that you will not get from Sunday's sermon. Hopefully this helps you to understand this book and how we can learn from it moving forward. Thanks for listening. Enjoy!
