Daniel Part 1: Chapters 1-6

Where do you place your trust? In Danial 6, Darius has just conquered Babylon and is rapidly trying to rebuild order out of chaos. Daniel faces adversaries and death. Listen as Dave speaks to holiness and trust in uncertain times.

Daniel, much older in age, is summoned to the feast of Belshazzar, crown prince of Babylon, to interpret a sign. A hand appeared and wrote a message on the wall for Belshazzar and left Belshazzar deathly afraid. Listen to Dave provide context and unpack this significant event.

The life of Nebchadnezzar brings to light the grace of God in a way that one would not expect. Listen to Dave as he continues in the series in Daniel and brings to light the heart of God in the life of Nebchadnezzar.

God laughs with kings and empires plot against him and his people, and invites believers to laugh with him. If we find ourselves never laughing at the futility of man, it’s worth asking if evil is looming to large in our hearts. Has it become more powerful in our minds than it actually is? Listen as Dave speaks from Daniel chapter 3 about a proper response to sin.

In Daniel Chapter 2, we learn of Nebuchadnezzar's dreams and his need for their interpretation. This dream is the first of four dreams that happen across the book of Daniel. Nebucahdnezzar's dreams weren't only for Nebuchadnezzer. They were written down for a reason; first for the Jewish people under exile and then for Christian people. Listen to Dave as he examines this first vision and what it teaches us.

In Babylon, Daniel lived in the king’s palace in a city renown for it's culture and power. It was a culture that had behaviors and practices that went after Daniel's heart, seeking to pull him away from God. Listen to Dave speak to how Daniel protected his heart.

This Sunday, we'll begin a new sermon series in the book of Daniel. Listen as Dave explains the context and framework for the book, beginning in chapter 1.
