God delivers! What can we learn today from this book that was written some 2600 years ago? We find that it is extremely relevant for our days ahead. Some theologians think 20 years have passed since Daniel chapter 2. The dream that Nebuchadnezzer had, that Daniel interpreted may have been what inspired the king to make this huge, golden statue. In chapter 3, we find the king giving a decree that e...

It is one thing to give an interpretation to someone’s dream, but to tell them the dream they had is something else entirely! God is Sovereign- last week we were introduced to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Four of the many captives from Judah brought to Babylon. They are tested and trained for 3 years in the customs, laws, and religion of Babylon. We find them refusing to defile themselv...

We begin a series looking at the Book of Daniel in the Bible. This is part one of a four part series. Sovereignty of God is the Christian belief that God is the supreme authority and all things are under His control. Easton's Bible Dictionary defines God's Sovereignty as His "absolute right to do all things according to His own good pleasure." God is Sovereign over all! We will see in the book of...

There are many tales of teams that have the moniker that they ‘can’t finish.’ What a title to have. It is a badge of disgrace to be known as the team that can’t finish or the coach who chokes in the big game. Reputations like that have ruined many careers. In life as well as sport, finishing is really important. Anybody can start things, but to see them through to the end is something different! "...

To be a good father doesn’t happen by chance. Every Christian parent ought to be waging an all-out campaign and be very intentional to train up their children to know Christ and follow Him. Proverbs tells us to train up a child...It doesn’t happen by accident. It begins by setting the example: you must walk the walk! Being a parent and teaching kids, you find out that  there are more things ‘...

Jesus has risen from the dead and tells His followers to wait for the promise. We find them waiting in Jerusalem for 50 days in Acts chapter 2. Acts 2:1  (Amplified Bible) And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place, 2  When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in...

There are lots of conspiracy theories out there. Some have proved to be true. In the Bible, Jesus says in John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."  We have an enemy of our souls that wants to destroy our lives. He has been conspiring against you your whole life. In this podcast we look at what the Bible says about...

In the Garden of Eden, we see Adam and Eve sinning and hiding.  Their first instinct and reaction was to hide from each other and God. They now stand guilty before God and are aware of their horrible condition.  Suddenly, they were sinful, weak, broken people living in a scary world. They found themselves in a real mess. If we're honest, we,too, are in a real mess at times. We have been...

In the previous message I mentioned that there are 3 main things that seem to derail many people in their walk with Christ. We looked at condemnation and the terrible effects it has in the life of a believer. It is a deep issue that continually causes you to look inward at ‘how bad you are’ instead of lifting your head to look at the face of Christ with His conviction helping lead us to repentance...

There are issues that seem to derail many Christians from living God's plan for their lives. These things can prevent our growth and maturity in Christ. They are condemnation, guilt, and shame. Each has the ability to severely hinder our Christian walk. We can be stunted in our growth, unable to move forward, and even regress. Today, we are looking at the first of these, condemnation. In the next...
