Daniel Undone
Sermon text: Daniel 10:12-14 The prophet is granted a glimpse beyond the veil, revealing a cosmic battle between the forces of good and evil. This unseen spiritual warfare can stir fear and make us hesitant to pursue God’s calling on our lives. But there is hope: the sacrifice of Christ—God’s perfect love in action—breaks fear’s grip and empowers us to stand firm in His purposes. Header image by Gioele Fazzeri on Unsplash.
Day by Day
Sermon text: Joshua 24:15 As Joshua was passing off the scene, he challenged the Israelites to be faithful to God. They had to decide. Would they adopt the idolatry of their distant past, the paganism of the land they were conquering, or service to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? We have the same decision today. Often Christians can point to a point when they “decided to follow Jesus.” That’s a historical event. But how many can say that…
The Daniel Timeline
Sermon text: Daniel 9:20-27 There are four major ways to interpret Daniel’s prophecy concerning the 70 weeks. It is only through the illumination of the Spirit that we can avoid getting bogged down in the details to understand the point of the prophecy and apply it to our lives.
Daniel: Moving from Blame to Compassion
Sermon text: Daniel 9:1-19 Every Christian can shift from blame to compassion by seeking God’s presence, interceding for the hurting, and imploring Him to act. Intercessory prayer, in particular, deepens our identification with a lost world and compels us to bring them the gospel. Header image by Patrick Fore on Unsplash.
The Daniel Prophecy
Sermon text: Daniel 8:1-4; Daniel 8:15-17; Daniel 8:26-27 Daniel’s vision concerning the empire of Greece under Alexander the Great is so precise that it compels us to consider the case for prophecy. If Daniel’s vision is truly prophecy, then we can trust that God is truly in control and has a plan for the nation of Israel and for my own life. Header image by Vinicius “amnx” Amano on Unsplash.
Daniel: Pouring Out Power and Privilege
Sermon text: Daniel 7:19-28 Humans have always longed for a king and a kingdom that would wed their personal values with privilege and power. The way of Jesus is exactly the opposite. Jesus poured out power and privilege, even to the point of death on the cross, to build the kingdom of God. Those who imitate Him belong to that kingdom. Header image by Minu Pradeep on Unsplash.
Daniel and His Beasts
Sermon text: Daniel 7:1-18 There are many lenses through which we can interpret and understand the prophecy of the four beasts. Daniel wants us to understand the main point: God is in control of the kingdoms of men and His kingdom will ultimately prevail. The way in which leaders respond to this truth impacts the entire nation. Header image by Dustin Humes on Unsplash.
The Daniel Deliverance
Sermon text: Daniel 6:2-3; Daniel 6:25-28 Daniel increasingly widens his influence through the practice of integrity and spiritual habits. His enemies, on the other hand, shrink their influence through a lack of integrity and subterfuge by setting Daniel up to be executed in the lion’s den. The lesson for us? Like Daniel we can expand our circle of influence in life by exercising personal integrity and practicing spiritual habits.
The Daniel Judgment
Sermon text: Daniel 5:22-30 During a banquet, King Belshazzar sees a ghostly hand write on the wall and calls Daniel to interpret it. Daniel reveals it as God’s judgment against the king. Written communication is often more precise and direct than spoken words. Unlike Belshazzar, our friends and family are not necessarily destined for judgment. God calls us to reach unbelievers with His message of salvation, not condemnation. Header image by Igor Omilaev on Unsplash.
The Daniel Directive
Sermon text: Daniel 4:1-8; Daniel 4:19; Daniel 4:27; Daniel 4:29-37 Many of us wish we could have a fresh start. While we can’t undo the past, we can learn from it. By looking to Jesus, we can reflect on our mistakes, grow from them, and move forward in His grace and transformation. Header image by Pablo Heimplatz on Unsplash.
The Daniel Disappearance
Sermon text: Daniel 3:1-30 Culture often pressures us to compromise our faith, but we must be ready to stand firm, no matter the cost. Sometimes God delivers us from hardship, and sometimes He allows us to go through it—but His plan is always good, and He is always with us. Header image by Amruth Pillai on Unsplash.
The Daniel Dilemma
Sermon text: Daniel 2:1-3; Daniel 2:14-18; Daniel 2:44-47 We all have dreams, some big, some small, and some that seem impossible. The real question is whether we’re willing to surrender our dreams to God’s greater plan for humanity. When we do, we find purpose beyond our own ambitions.
