Join us for worship and a special message from Pastor Matt as we reflect on Christ's sacrifice and read scripture from Mark 14 and 15.

In these final two chapters of Daniel, we see the full vision mentioned in chapter 10: Of wars between Persia and Greece and the rise and fall of rulers; the Antichrist who will come in the End Times; and what will become of Israel during that period. Chapter 12 concludes with a promise to Daniel of a heavenly reward for his faithfulness. Though we may find ourselves in difficult situations, we can always look to God for hope!

While Daniel is mourning and fasting, he is visited by a spiritual being who explains the meaning of the vision he is about to receive. It concerns the End Times and how the kingdoms of Persia and Greece point toward an Antichrist who is yet to come. It is a good reminder of the invisible spiritual battles going on around us, and the need for our savior Jesus.

In the midst of Daniel's prayer, he is given a vision from the angel Gabriel. It is a prophecy concerning the End Times. Why study something that hasn't happened yet? Pastor Matt helps us understand.

In Chapter 9, Daniel prays to God on behalf of Israel, confessing that they have sinned and turned away from God's will, acknowledging God's mercy and righteousness, and asking for forgiveness. This is a great example for us to follow as Pastor Matt leads us in a special time of prayer. What changes need to happen in your life? What do you need to surrender? Let's seek the Lord and pray together.

Daniel has a vision of a ram with two horns, one larger than the other, charging in every direction, and another ram who rises to oppose it. In it we find both prophecy that has already been fulfilled, and yet to be fulfilled. The Lord has been faithful in the past, and will be in the future!

Daniel describes prophetic visions of strange creatures in the first half of Chapter 7–a lion with eagle's wings, a bear with ribs in its mouth, a four-winged leopard, and a terrible beast with iron teeth and ten horns, and a little horn with eyes and a mouth. What could this possibly mean? We find out in the second half of the chapter as Daniel gives its interpretation. Join Pastor Matt as we explore Biblical prophecy and what God wants to teach us through it.

In Chapter 6 of Daniel, the governors and satraps, jealous of Daniel's success, trick King Darius into passing a decree that will incriminate Daniel and force him to be fed to lions. This story leaves us asking the question: What should we fear more, the kingdoms of man or the Kingdom of God? Pastor Matt helps us find some answers.

In Chapter 5 of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar's grandson Belshazzar is troubled by a mysterious inscription written supernaturally on his palace wall. Daniel is called upon to give its interpretation, which serves as a reminder to the Babylonians–and us today–of God's holiness and power.

In Chapter 4, we see that mental health and insanity can be physical, emotional and spiritual. Daniel gives an example of how to be faithful to God and Nebuchadnezzar by having compassion, showing clarity and giving counsel. It begins with realizing that the Most High Reigns!
