As we near the end of our series, Daniel: Living the Kingdom in a World Built on Empire, we’re turning our attention to Daniel 9 and the powerful connection between prayer and prophecy. When Daniel sees the brokenness around him and how his people have turned from God, he doesn’t respond with fear, frustration, or passivity—he prays. Daniel turns to God with confession, humility, and hope, trusting God’s faithfulness in a world built on empire. This week, we’ll explore what it looks like to respond when we become aware of the things shaping us, and how prayer invites us to participate in God’s Kingdom in the places where we live, learn, work, and play. 

This week, we’ll hear from Daniel chapters 7 and 8 about one of the top five greatest moments in the Bible. Greater than any Hollywood movie, greater than the most fantastical of tales, this real-life moment is the revelation of the unseen to the seen reality of our eternal King and His eternal Kingdom.

We will also celebrate Jesus by sharing communion. It’s going to be a good day!

This week, we are privileged to have Tiffany Soza bring God's word to us. Tiffany is a pastor with the Christian and Missionary Alliance who works at our camp, Camp Nakamun, as our Director of Ministries. We look forward to hearing what God has placed on her heart for us as we look at a story, probably familiar to you all, from Daniel 6. We will discuss how our God is a living God who is able to accomplish things that even earthly empires cannot. Through the display of God’s powerful work in the lions’ den, we will be reminded that the same power of God works in us and through us as we submit in obedience to the Father, even in times when we’re afraid.

Today is a great day! Jesus is on the throne, and we trust His good work in us to bring about His Kingdom. Join us this week as we lean into Jesus’ Kingdom and learn more about His work to destroy empire in us. This Sunday, we focus on Daniel 5 and learn about the fate of Nebuchadnezzar’s empire and the fate of empire in us. 

As we journey through the book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar has seen God reveal mysteries, rescue people from the fire, and demonstrate His power over Babylon. Even after all this, Nebuchadnezzar still sees himself as the ultimate authority. This week, we’ll see God confront Nebuchadnezzar’s pride and discover what happens when we treat what God has entrusted to us as something we built on our own. 

This week, as we continue our series, Daniel: Living the Kingdom in a World Built on Empire, we’ll be diving into Daniel chapter 3. Come and hear what it looks like to follow God in the darkest valley and in the fiery furnace. And find out the secret identity of the fourth man in the fire. This week we’ll also be celebrating communion, so come ready to meet Jesus in a significant way.

What does it look like to live faithfully when the world around us is shaped by fear, power and self-preservation? In Daniel 2, Daniel faces Babylon's deadly pressure by using what God has given him, trusting God’s sovereignty, gathering his community to pray, and directing all glory back to God. Through Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, God reveals that every human empire will eventually fall, but His Kingdom will stand forever—inviting us to live faithfully under the reign of Jesus wherever He has placed us. 

Join us this as we kick-off our new series on the book of Daniel and talk about Living the Kingdom in a world built on Empire. Come find out the history of what led up to the book of Daniel and be introduced to the main characters whose names you likely have been saying wrong all your life. It’s going to be a good day.

What does it really look like to follow Jesus beyond Sunday morning? This week, as we wrap up our That’s Interesting series, we’ll look at Matthew 25 and ask a challenging question: What if following Jesus never takes us beyond ourselves? Together, we’ll consider how the way of Jesus shapes how we see, welcome, and serve the people around us—especially those our world so easily overlooks. Join us as we explore what it means to be good news to our neighbours and beyond by practicing the way of Jesus. 

This week, as we continue our That’s Interesting series, we’ll explore the question, “What is baptism, and why is it important?” Why has the church practiced baptism for thousands of years? Why was Jesus baptized? And why do we practice believer's baptism? Baptism is an ancient practice, but it is also a deeply personal and public declaration of faith. As we look at the story of baptism from John the Baptist to the Great Commission, to baptism in the Church today, we'll consider what it means to publicly align ourselves with Jesus.
