It’s called: “Eternal Encouragement.” Doesn’t that sound good? Paul says in 2 Thessalonians 2:16 and 17, “May our Lord Jesus…

We have seen over and over again that the book of Daniel is not ultimately about the wiseman Daniel, even though Daniel has given us a great example to follow in every single chapter. Dare to be a Daniel! Dare to be godly in a godless world. Dare to live wisely like he did in the midst…

Daniel chapter 11 is about the God above all other powers and authorities.  The God Who is God above all. “The God of Gods.” Everything we think of when we think of what “God” means–this God is the God that is all of that and infinitely more.   Pastor Matt Mitchell preaching on Daniel 11:2-12:1 Full…

Daniel chapter 9 is a little different. It’s definitely the same book, but it has a different feel to it than what has come before. For one, it doesn’t start with a problem or a vision. It doesn’t have one of those classic Bible story problems like we saw so many times in the first…

Daniel chapter 8 tells the story of another vision of Daniel that was very traumatic for him. Daniel had another vision, after the one that we read about in the last chapter. Do you remember when that one was?  That one was during the first year of King Belshazzar’s reign. Pastor Matt Mitchell preaching on…
