It's been well said that "Those who fail to learn anything from history are doomed to repeat it." That was the case with King Belshazzar of Babylon.

Let's looks deeper into this fasci...

Imagine the most powerful ruler in the world, assembling his court advisors together, and informing them that he's had a reoccurring dream that he wants them to describe, and then interpret!

What are the non-negotiables in your life as a believer? What have you purposed in your heart about your faith ahead of time?

Join us now as we begin this new series in the OT Book of Daniel.

The family of God is such a blessing to us as believers! Coming now to the 2nd half of Phil. Ch. 2, Paul talks about believers as a spiritual family.

In Phil. Ch. 2, Paul launches into one of the most remarkable portions of Scripture - a description of the supreme example of Christ's humility in leaving heaven and coming to the earth! Oh what a Savior!

Warren Wiersbe used to say that opportunities often come to us disguised as obstacles.
