From the example of David bringing the ark to Jerusalem we learn the importance of following God's prescribed ways. Following God's prescribed ways with passion is powerful.

In this message we will see that God often uses Wilderness experiences in our lives to profoundly change us and grow us in our faith. The Wilderness can be a place of self-awareness, renewed reliance on God and preparation for God's purposes in our lives.

In Acts 17, Paul finds himself in two different contexts: one sacred and one secular. Between these two different spaces, Paul communicates about Jesus in a different way. In our current day, we experience both of these contexts still. Therefore, we can learn from Paul on how to effectively communicate the Gospel today.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for! Daniel is thrown into the Lions' Den by a deceived King Darius. We will explore the differences between a confident Daniel and a distraught King Darius and how those differences matter when we face situations that are bigger than ourselves.

In this message from Daniel 6, we will see that Daniel was a man of integrity and his enemies could find no basis for a charge against him. So they concluded the only way they could bring any kind of accusation against him would have to be in regards to his following God's ways. What a statement about a life of holiness! In this message we will learn from Daniel's example of how to live a holy life.

In this message we will be looking at Daniel 5. It's an amazing account of God's divine intervention. We will see that God is sovereign over all and that He will not be profaned. This message was relevant in Daniel's day and is still relevant in ours.

In this message from Daniel 4 we'll see that God humbles the proud. He turns our “I” and “me” to “Him” and “He.” It’s a passage on what happens when we don’t acknowledge God as one who has all power and authority, and instead assume we do.

In this message from Daniel 3 we'll see that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego chose to be thrown into a fiery furnace rather than disobey the first two of the 10 Commandments. It's a story full of insight on how to handle the fiery trials that come to the follower of God. If we take these insights to heart it will change how we live our lives. 

Everybody serves something or someone whether we realize it or not.  But it’s important to answer the question “Who is your king?” because as Daniel points out to King Nebuchadnezzar in his dream, there’s only one kingdom that will last forever. Who we serve and what we do can either pass away like every other king and kingdom, or it can be part of God’s greater story that will never end.

In this week's message from the book of Daniel, we will see that God operates on a different level than humankind. He delivers by His wisdom and power. A crazy request by King Nebuchadnezzar becomes an opportunity for God to be recognized and exalted.
