ORDERED FREEDOM (Exodus 20-24)

THE FINAL KING (Daniel 11:36-45)
Are you aware that Daniel 11:36-45 describes a coming vicious ruler yet future to us? Do you know how to have hope in the face of his horrors?
CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE (Daniel 11:1-35)
It is infuriating that God's people are always feeling caught in the middle of the endless battle of the wicked. Why is this? Stick it out with this challenging but ignored Bible chapter and the paydirt will be rich.
BEHIND THE CURTAIN (Daniel 10:1-21)
If we patiently wade through Daniel's vision, we find a critical but often forgotten method on how to overcome the spiritual forces of darkness and strongholds that keep us bound in our own day. This is war!

If you are exiled and saddened by losses due to past choices you now know are the cause, Daniel's prayer gives the combination needed to unlock the way out.

Ugly beasts will arise and attack God's people, but in Christ we have already won. God's win is final, forever, and never to be contested again.

Faith ruins your enemy's appetite and shuts his mouth.
THE DIVINE DILEMMA (Dan. 6:1-15)

PREACHING AT THE PARTY (Daniel 5:13-31)
If we are partying life away, God will suddenly crash our party.
