The Daniel Dilemma
How to Stand Firm & Love Well in a Culture of Compromise
Love Well
October 23, 2022 • Ryan Alonso • 1 Corinthians 13
This week, Pastor Ryan concluded "The Daniel Dilemma" series by teaching us how to love well in today’s culture. A key part of living like Jesus is loving those around us. Without love, nothing we say or do can have the long-term, positive impact we desire. So, how do we love those around us when our culture and beliefs look so different?
The War On Worship
October 16, 2022 • Ryan Alonso • Daniel 3, Daniel 6
This week, Pastor Ryan walked us through Daniel chapters 3 & 6. There we discover the value of standing firm in our worship. Thankfully, the enemy Satan has not changed his strategy and therefore it is easy to see when he is working against us. His goal is to shape our worship or prevent it all together. With that insight we take a cue from Daniel and his friends in remaining firm in the worship of our God.
Drama Queen
October 9, 2022 • Ryan Alonso • Daniel 4, Genesis 11:4–9
This week Pastor Ryan introduced the "Babylon Mentality." Babylon is the physical setting for the book of Daniel, but it is also a mindset. So, how do we restore order and sanity in our lives? We lift up God, acknowledge His grace and authority, and humble ourselves before Him.
Culture Shift
October 2, 2022 • Ryan Alonso • Daniel 1
As we walk through our daily lives, it can feel like we are constantly battered with competing messages through our televisions, radios, social media, and even our friends and family. So how do we navigate a culture that is constantly shifting its core values? Through Daniel, we learn that when culture shifts, we need to know who we are, reaffirm our convictions, and respond.
