November 3, 2024 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Daniel 12, Matthew 24:9–15, Psalm 146:3–5, Daniel 9:24–27
How do we prepare for the end times? We must know the signs, prepare to live somewhere forever, place our hope in Jesus, not in man, and focus on relationships.
When You Are Under Attack
October 27, 2024 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Daniel 6
Courage is not an act; it is a habit. What are the essentials to developing a lifestyle of courage? Reject jealousy, choose integrity, live prayerfully, and trust God always. We cannot control the outcome, but we can choose to surrender control to God.
The Writing's on the Wall
October 20, 2024 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Daniel 5
In a culture of compromise, people fail to recognize the warning signs of God. If we want to stand firm, we must learn from the sins of others, honor the holiness of God, and realize the brevity of life. The writing is on the wall: If we don't get our lives in balance, we will lose what matters most. Stand firm.
A Return to Sanity
October 13, 2024 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Daniel 4
What can we learn from the life of King Nebuchadnezzar in chapter 4 of Daniel? A life of pride leads to a life of chaos ... when I rely on what I have, give myself the credit, and focus on what is temporary. But a life of humility leads to a life of sanity ... when I look up to heaven, acknowledge that God's ways are always right, and exalt Jesus as the King.
If You Can't Stand the Heat
October 6, 2024 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Daniel 3:4–6, Daniel 3:13–18, Daniel 3:28–29
Difference makers are risk takers. Courage is the ability to do something in the face of fear or that causes pain. If we want to live with courageous conviction, it is essential that we have godly friendships and complete allegiance to God, and that we worship God's identity. The result: It changes the hearts and attitudes of others toward God.
There's Something Different About You
September 29, 2024 • Pastor Scott Randlett • Daniel 1:17–20, Daniel 1:1–9
We can't make a difference unless we're willing to be different. Our culture will always try to change us by isolating us from God's people, indoctrinating us to cultural beliefs, and identifying us by a new name and leader. The decisions we make today determine the actions we take tomorrow. The results of our willingness to be different: God rewards, and people recognize the faith of His servants.
