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!
COUNTDOWN TO CHRIST (Daniel 9:20-27)
Gabriel gives Daniel an amazingly accurate prediction of the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the coming of Christ, and the events thereafter. All of this helps us understand a bit more about the confusing yet hopeful nature of predictive prophecy.
THE EXIT FROM EXILE (Daniel 9:1-19)
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.
WHEN EMPIRES COLLIDE (Daniel 8:1-27)
This one is challenging. Stay with it. The payoff is great. God's control of the future does not nullify the importance of our choices.
THE ETERNAL WIN (Daniel 7:15-28)
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.
THE SON OF MAN REIGNS (Daniel 7:1-14)
Prophecy is strange, but yields great riches to those who do not give up on it. Don't look at the monsters; look at your King.
LION MUZZLING FAITH (Daniel. 6:16-28)
Faith ruins your enemy's appetite and shuts his mouth.
THE DIVINE DILEMMA (Dan. 6:1-15)
Darius' dilemma forshadows the tensions between God's justice and love in response to man's sin. Daniel's survival of the lion's den is a foreshadowing of Christ's conquering the grave.
PREACHING AT THE PARTY (Daniel 5:13-31)
If we are partying life away, God will suddenly crash our party.
LOSING YOUR MIND TO REGAIN YOUR SENSE (Daniel 4:19-37)
Sometime we must lose it all to see what is of real value.
A TREE FALLS IN BABYLON (Daniel 4:1-18)
The journey to faith in Yahweh requires His cutting down the "trees" we trust in.
FIREPROOF (Daniel 3:19-30)
Daniel's friends are fireproof, and foreshadow something far greater.
WE WILL NOT BOW (Daniel 3:8-18)
Daniel's three friends challange us to ask ourselves: Are we driven by external pressures or internal principles?
BOW OR BURN (Daniel 3:1-7)
Having the strength to stand up and stand out when the world pressures you to bow and blend in.
THE STONE (Dan. 2:44-45)
What the stone of God crushing the statues of man means to us today.
THE STATUE (Daniel 2:31-43)
What we learn when the king of the world's superpower 600 years before Christ is warned his throne will be crushed.
WISDOM FROM ABOVE (Daniel 2:19-30)
Nebuchadnezzar's dream and Daniel's interpretation provides a needed grid for understanding why, how, and when God reveals Himself and His wisdom.
BAD DREAMS (Daniel 2:1-11)
Nebuchadnezzar's baffling dream illustrates the confusion and despair many in the world have today. Only God is the source of the true wisdom needed to answer life's deepest questions.
BLOOM WHERE YOU'RE PLANTED (Daniel 1:8-21)
Daniel gives us insights on how God makes us flourish spiritually in forbidding places.
