Beyond the Message

Daniel 10-11:1

Listen Later

In this episode, Sam and Jake discuss yesterday’s sermon from Daniel 10-11:1 — we saw in the text that we have to be in awe of God to be at peace in this world. We unpack the main points from the sermon and go beyond yesterday with additional insight into the text.

Daniel expected the end of exile to mean the rebuilding of Jerusalem, but God revealed something far bigger—the coming of a Messiah who would end sin, establish righteousness, and fulfill every promise. In Daniel 10-11:1, we see how God redirected Daniel’s hope and how He still calls us to lift our eyes from earthly fixes to eternal realities. We see how misplaced hope drains faith, how Christ redefines fulfillment, and how God’s sovereignty in prophecy fuels trust in every season.

Message Highlights:

  • Main Point: Be in awe of God to be at peace in this world.
  • Daniel’s discouragement mirrors ours: unmet expectations and unseen progress.
  • God’s heavenly response: a vision of Christ’s glory and power.
  • The reality of spiritual warfare—fuels courage, not fear.
  • The comfort of being “greatly loved” in a world of anxiety.
  • How to live with peace and courage when life feels out of control.

    • Practical application:

    • Reinforce God’s greatness: When your problems grow big, magnify your view of God.
    • Remember spiritual reality: There’s always more happening than you can see.
    • Draw courage from love: You are greatly loved—let that truth strengthen your heart.
    • Walk by faith, not sight: Fix your eyes on what’s unseen, not on temporary troubles.
    • Live ready for battle: Be strong, take heart, and trust that God’s victory is sure.
