January 29, 2023 • Lance Faulkner • Revelation 18, Daniel 4:24–37, 1 Peter 5:5
Today's messages speaks about King Nebuchadnezzar In the book of Daniel, and his dream about a tree. The interpretation of the dream is that his kingdom will be restored if he acknowledges that God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth. King Nebuchadnezzar was punished for his pridefulness and lost his mind, but was eventually restored to his throne when he acknowledged God's sovereignty. The fall of the king was caused by his pride, which is a difficult topic to talk about as it is often difficult to recognize in our own lives. Pride destroys everything and does not acknowledge God or the work of God in our lives.

January 15, 2023 • Lance Faulkner • Proverbs 3:32, Psalm 25:14
In this sermon, we take a look at the story of Daniel in the book of Daniel chapter 2 and explore three important things we can learn about insight from his example. First, we see that insight comes from intimacy. This is reinforced by verses like Proverbs 3:32 and Psalms 25:14 which remind us that truly understanding the ways of the Lord requires closeness with him. Next, we learn that intimacy is not a one-time event but rather the result of daily habits. Like Daniel, we must actively seek to deepen our relationship with God through consistent prayer and study of scripture. Finally, we see that what we may initially view as a restriction or limitation can actually serve to create intimacy with God. As we trust in him and rely on him even in difficult circumstances, we grow closer to him and gain greater understanding of his ways. This sermon encourages us to strive for intimacy with God and to trust in his plan for our lives.

January 8, 2023 • Lance Faulkner • Matthew 5:14–16, Daniel 1
In this powerful sermon, we will be delving into the book of Daniel and Matthew to discover how we can remain steadfast in our faith even when the world around us is trying to change who we are. As we read through Daniel Chapter 1, we see how the young men of Judah were faced with the temptation to assimilate and adopt the ways of the Babylonians. Similarly, in Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus reminds us that we are the light of the world, and it is our job to shine bright, even in the darkness. The world is constantly trying to change our identity and our priorities, but it is essential that we are aware of this attack and make a commitment to not be polluted or defiled by these influences. We must have the courage to stand firm and follow God's plan for our lives, just like Daniel and his friends did in Babylon. In this sermon, we will explore the importance of staying true to ourselves and not compromising our values. We will learn how to have the courage to stand up for what we believe in and not be swayed by the world's temptations. By understanding the power of our identity and our priorities, we can be shining examples of God's love and grace to all those around us. So join us as we delve into the teachings of Daniel and Matthew, and discover the strength and resilience that can only be found in a steadfast faith.
