As God’s royal, holy, and chosen people, we are made to proclaim his glory through the gospel. We are called to let our light shine in this dark world.

Because of Jesus, we are no longer strangers and aliens, but citizens, saints, and members brought into the household of God. We are growing and being built together as His Holy Temple.

Families play a big part in the foundation of faith of the next generation. The influence they have goes beyond the four corners of their home.

Cornelius is a family man and well respected Roman army officer. When he responded to God, he made an impact not just among his family and close friends, but in through out the city.

God’s purpose for the family goes beyond blessing it and its members. His desire is to make families a channel of His blessing to others.

The power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us enables us to proclaim the gospel.

How do you handle obscurity? King Nebuchadnezzar’s reign is over; his son Belshazzar replaced him. Daniel was no longer active in public service but when he was called to serve, he was ready to respond.

How do you speak God’s truth to people who are in power? King Nebuchadnezzar’s second dream was about his own humiliation. But instead of rubbing it in, Daniel exhorted the king to repent and turn away from the oppression he has caused his people.

When is it right for the people of God to not obey civil authority? The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace is not just a story of deliverance, but a story of civil disobedience when sin is made into law.
