Sermon Series: Clash of Kingdoms Our teaching pastor, Gary Goodkey, explores Daniel 1:1-21, highlighting the unwavering faith of Daniel and his friends during their exile in Babylon. Despite being immersed in a culture that conflicted with their beliefs, they resolved not to defile themselves with the king's provisions, choosing instead to adhere to their dietary laws. This decision led to God's favor, granting them exceptional wisdom and understanding, and setting them apart in the Babylonian court. We too are called to be faithful in our culture.
