    Daniel was captured and taken from Jerusalem to Babylon. While there, he faced a number of challenges. How he faced these could well be an inspiration for us even today.

Phrases like “the writing on the wall” and “thrown to the lions” are based on events in Daniel’s life—and he actually lived through these events, and more.

    The Babylonians tried to erase the identities of Daniel and his 3 friends from being believers in Jehovah. The world is trying to do that to Christians today. Young people must be instructed and equipped to stand for their faith like Daniel did.

    DARE TO BE A DANIEL! Dan. 1:8-17 INTRODUCTION 8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way….10 but the official told Daniel, “The king would then have my head because of you.” 11 Daniel then ...read more

    As our world, and nation, become increasingly hostile to faith, we may face a hard choice: obey orders from human authorities which conflict with God’s Law, or disobey and face the consequences. This sermon looks at three scenarios in Daniel and draws lessons for us today.

    This morning, This morning, I’d like to address a concern that many of us have as we read and watch the news, as we observe the changes taking place in the world, and specifically in what used to be considered Christian nations. And what we are seeing is a growing hostility to Christian witness and ...read more

    Faith is the key to life. God’s word tells us that we are not only saved by faith but also called to live by it, with God as our Provider, Revealer, and Protector. As we explore Daniel’s faith in an ungodly world, we have to ask, “By faith, will we dare to be a Daniel?”
