This week in The Daniel Dilemma, Pastor Eli talks about inheritance and the importance of remembering to be grateful to the giver for the gift that we have in Christ. It is a reminder to stand firm against the idols that get in the way of our view of God.
The Daniel Dilemma- Part 4

Standing firm in faith requires fixing our eyes on Jesus. But how do we stay focused in a world full of distractions? In part 4 of The Daniel Dilemma, Daniel finds himself challenged to speak truth even though the message was hard but he was able to again have influence because he kept his eyes fixed on God. His example gives us confidence to be the same in challenging times.
The Daniel Dilemma- Part 3
October 29, 2023 • Daniel 2
We don't often know what opportunity God will present to us in our situation. It can often seem like we have no chance of impacting our community and this can give us a reason not to try- but God has not given up on any part of His creation. Daniel was put in just the right place with just the right skills to interpret the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar, this allowed him to bring influence on the king and brought glory to the God of Israel even in the midst of exile. God can do the same with you- you are where He wants you so that you can influence those around you in His name!

How we respond when we are under pressure shows the true character that we have inside. In part 2 of The Daniel Dilemma we check out the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who faced immense pressure to compromise on their faith but instead became a powerful witness to God.
The Daniel Dilemma- Part 1
October 8, 2023 • Eli Thomas • Daniel 1
Our world is full of conflict and for a follower of Christ it can feel very much like we don't matter and that we are being pushed to the side of irrelevance. Feeling backed into a corner can result in a defensive posture leads us to lash out at the threats pressing against us. But God calls us to both stand firm and love well even though we live in a place of exile. Join us for week one of the Daniel Dilemma and see how the way Daniel approaches his exile helps us to exist in ours.
