We see Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar‘s dream. We see the wisdom of man versus the wisdom of God on display. We see a prophecy much of which has been fulfilled, but much of which is still yet to be fulfilled. A great statue or image with the head of gold, a chest and arms of silver, a waste and thighs the bronze, legs of iron, and feet of iron in Calais. Please correspond to the empires in world history. The feet of iron and Clay correspond to today the empires of today. We see a picture of God sovereignty. We also see an image of a stone that strikes the feet and brings down this great statue. This is a reference to Jesus Christ who will reestablish his kingdom on earth greater than all earthly kingdoms.

King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. God reveals Nebuchadnezzar’s dream to Daniel. We see Daniels prudence, his humility, and discretion on display we see Daniel’s faith on display. We see Daniel’s prayer life on display.

Daniel stands up to peer pressure and insists on eating food blessed by God. At the end of the 10 day test, Daniel and his friends appeared better in health than all the rest. At the end of the three years of learning at the Kings Court, Daniel and his friends appeared superior to everyone in all knowledge and understanding. By holding on to God‘s instructions in commands, Daniel is now able to bless all those around him. In a similar fashion, we also need to hold on to God‘s commands, no matter where we are. We need to strive to grow in God‘s word, as our very food, so that we can grow strong in wisdom in every way, and likewise, bless those around us as well.

Daniel taken captive into Babylon as a young teenager, and takes a strong stand for God. Talking about peer pressure- Daniel was up against a lot. A powerful lesson right from the start about doing what’s right in God’s eyes versus the eyes of others.

An amazing story of forgiveness. They serve it runs away from his master, but then except Jesus Christ as his Savior through Paul’s ministry. Paul directs the servant to return back to his master for forgiveness. Paul writes a letter to Philemon his master, who has also received Jesus Christ through Paul’s ministry. What are the odds of this happening? Yet through the grace of Jesus Christ we see a powerful example of how relationships can be transformed, healed, and refreshed.

Paul’s closing remarks to Titus. Paul tells Titus to remind everyone to be ready for every good work. This is what he would tell us today also. Be ready for every good work. We can impact more people through good works then clever words, or self-centered wisdom. Our job is to do good for others, in the name of Jesus Christ. Our faith does not call us to do nothing, but to be active in living out the word of God.

Paul gives Titus instructions on living a Godly life. This is for us too. It all starts with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is our past, present and future.

Paul gives Titus a very important charge. Paul gives Titus his primary goal, and that is to stay in the word of God. How important it is to keep the word of God as the foundation of your life. Paul is instructing Titus to stay on the island of Crete, to take care of the church there, and to appoint elders there. These elders we’re supposed to be examples of good and up right leaders, who could be examples to others of godly living. Godly living starts with the word of God. How important it is that we keep the word of God as our daily priority.

Paul is leaving the young pastor Titus on the Greek island of Crete. He is there to oversee the young churches on the island. These people had a lot in common with the Greek culture in Greek mythology. Titus‘s job was to appoint people to be elders, oversee years, good stewards of God’s word. Titus is called to oversee the church, and set an example of godly living. Godliness comes from the word of God. It’s so important that the word of God produce godly living in us.

Ezekiel‘s final vision. Ezekiel gives a vision of a new temple, a vision of new worship within the temple, and a vision of a restoration of the land. All of the things that were broken are now restored. The temple of Jerusalem, God‘s temple, God’s house that has been destroyed over and over again, now has been restored in this version. All the worship that was not right, the sacrifices that were carried out with wrong hearts, are now restored as proper worship. The land of Israel that was desolate due to the sin that came upon the land has now been restored back due to the presence of God. There are literal descriptions of the temple as well as symbolic descriptions of God‘s presence with his people. Ezekiel concludes on a very hopeful tone, that God will eventually reside with us in his holiness.
