It wasn't the size of Daniel's faith that brought him through the night with the lions, but it was Who he put his faith in that made all the difference! Pastor Jerry Sander teaches from Daniel 6, and also references Matthew 6, Hebrews 11, Leviticus 3 and other passages.

A government that comes against prayer? Making it illegal to practice faith in the One True God? The cost of obedience? Pastor Jerry digs into the beginning of Daniel 6 and shows us how the schemes of the enemy are still present in the world today, and how we should stand courageously in the ways of God.

What will it take in your life for God to break you of your own sinfulness? Maybe it's shame from your past, or a telephone pole in your eye, Jesus wants to teach you to lean into brokenness and experience His mercy and grace.

What was prophesied in Isaiah was now coming to pass at this drunken revelry in Babylon. God's hand shows up to declare judgment upon the king and the empire, and Daniel speaks boldly to the 2nd in command. Dig deeper into this pivotal moment as one empire comes to an end, and the scene moves from Babylon to the Medo-Persian empire.

While King Nabonidus is away, Belshazzar plays. But this unholy feast leads to God's literal hand appearing, writing judgment on the wall against Belshazzar and the Babylonian kingdom. Pastor Jerry unpacks this as a antithesis of the holy feast that Jesus calls us to practice, going into 1 Corinthians 11 and how in the New Testament, judgment comes on those in the church who act more like Babyloni...

Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchanezzar's dream comes true, and the king's pride leads him down a dark path. Seven years of losing his mind for God to break him of his pride. But the beauty? The king returns, repents and proclaims the praises of the God of Israel. Your pride or broken season doesn't have to be the end - God is waiting for you to turn back to Him!

This chapter is unique - written in Aramaic, a testimony of King Nebuchadnezzar. What's his story? Scholars believe this was written 43 years into his reign, and is a glimpse into the king's mind here in the book. God showed up in the king's story, but He also shows up in ours. What is He doing in your life, and how can you tell others about it?

When the kings of this world ask you to bow down to their demands or images, and it contradicts God's laws, it's time to apply courageous faith! There are consequences to taking a stand, but Jesus will be with you through it all.

What happens when religion and politics are warped, and a king requires worship and adulation from the people? As you can imagine, it creates a situation where those who are faithful to the One True God must make a public choice on whom they will serve. Join us as we look at the pride of the wicked king, the response of the faithful Hebrew men, and the showdown their courageous faith created!

Daniel sought the Lord about the king's secret dream and God responded to Daniel's faith with revelation. The statue represented earthly kingdoms that would rise and fall, but the dream also prophesied of a Kingdom that would destroy the statue and fill the whole earth. Step in to courageous faith like Daniel and trust God for His revelation in your life!

Daniel spoke up in a moment when he could have chosen comfort. He stood up for his convictions in the face of a King and culture of luxury. He PURPOSED in his heart to honor God above any peer pressure or expectation others put on him. Pastor Jerry reminds us to take courageous stands to honor the Lord, and even to steward the gift of our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.

God is in control, even when confusion surrounds your home, and wants to carry the young and influential away. And just because the prevailing culture takes kids away for 3 years to train them in the ways of the "educated," you can trust that God will work out His plans and display His glory.

Galatians 3, Philippians 3, Isaiah 9

This service was led by our youth and college students - they led worship, shared testimonies of missions and other ministry they've been doing, and shared the Word with us. We're so proud of what God is doing in their lives!

When people are filled with the Spirit what naturally happens? Salvation, community, fellowship, communion, prayer and helping one another. These are downstream of His filling, and these are the true ingredients of the Church!

Dive into prophecy and find hope and what will happen here when Christ returns at His Second Coming! *Clarification-Isaiah 11, Isaiah 65 and Zechariah 8 strongly suggest children will be born during the millennium, Pastor Andrew's point on the need for salvation/evang...

Peter steps up to deliver a powerful sermon, rich in the Old Testament scriptures, to preach the risen Christ and His salvation to those gathered in Jerusalem. The filling of the Spirit led immediately to the proclamation of Jesus!

When the Spirit comes, what happens to the Church (People)? And as the Spirit moves, how do believers live? Pastor Jerry unpacks Acts 2 and how the gathering, waiting and praying led to a filling and a "going" that changed the world forever!

When Jesus leaves, He commanded the disciples to wait for the Helper! They had heard the Lord speak about the Spirit, but they didn't know who they were about to meet. Dig deeper and walk through the Word with Pastor Jerry.

"Her children rise up and call her blessed..." Proverbs 31:28 Pastor Jerry walks through the famous love chapter and reminds us of how a mom's love reflects God's love for us.

After the apostles leave Jerusalem, some go fishing again in Galilee. Jesus surprises them and makes them breakfast, but pulls Peter aside for a restoration conversation. Join Pastor Jerry and dig into what they talked about, but more importantly, why they needed this moment.

After the resurrection we find some disciples back in Galilee fishing again. Dig into this passage with Pastor Jerry to discover truth and hope as we finish the Gospel of John study!

Jesus loved His disciples, but He understood that at times each one had their own questions, their own need. This passage both reveals Jesus' resurrected body to His friends, but also shows how Christ ministers to Thomas when he was questioning.
