Daniel: Faithful in a Foreign Land | Episode 1 – Permitted

Have you ever wondered why God permits something to happen that He has the power to prevent?

In this opening lesson of Daniel: Faithful in a Foreign Land, we explore Daniel 1:1–7 and discover how God's sovereignty is revealed even in circumstances we do not understand.

Daniel was taken from his homeland, separated from everything familiar, and placed in a foreign culture that sought to reshape his identity. Yet even in captivity, God had not abandoned him.

Through Daniel's experience, we discover an important truth: We may not always have control over our circumstances, but we can choose how we respond to God within them.

Join Obedient Sheep Ministries as we examine the character of Daniel and discover how his faithfulness can challenge and strengthen our own walk with God.

Where God permits you to go, He will not leave you alone.

In Acts 5:29, Peter and the disciples responded to the High Priest and officials that they must obey God rather than men. In that moment they Stood UP, Spoke UP, Showed UP, and Grew UP. It is time for us to do the same.

John 1:1-34

In Luke 5:17-26, we read the account of a man whose friends were so desperate to get him to Jesus that they made an opening in the roof when the entry was blocked. Their faith aided in his healing. Yet Jesus' first words were, "Your sins are forgiven." Join me as we look into the details of this account.

A look at Matthew 7:24-27

When Paul and Silas were in prison the Bible records that they prayed and praised, and as a result found their release via an earthquake.  Are you stuck in what feels like a prison in your life?  Maybe it is time to pray and praise, and expect God to fling open the gates and break the chains holding you bound.

Building on the 2nd chapter of Haggai we read of God's disappointment with the temple, His challenge to obey, and His promise to Zerubbabel.  However, Pastor Daniel looks intently at the if/then statement built in God's words through the prophet.  If blessing is to come on God's people, they must first walk away from sin and move forward in obedience.

Join Pastor Daniel as he engages in a two-part study in the Book of Haggai.  In this first part, Daniel looks at Haggai chapter 1.  It is here that God explains to the people that they have not put Him first.  This rebuke is as much for today as it was then.  Answer the challenge to look at and reset priorities and put God first.
