Unwavering
Stories of Faith from Daniel
In The Presence of Lions
November 26, 2023 • James Paton • Daniel 6
Have you ever felt intimidated to pray in public? Do you sometimes feel ashamed about your faith at school or at work? Even when Daniel is threatened with death, he stays on his knees, with a faith rooted deeper than his circumstances. Can we be engaged with our culture and still anchored beyond it?
Cathedral of Creativity
November 19, 2023 • James Paton • Daniel 5
God isn't limited in how He speaks to us. We know He speaks to us through the Bible, but He also communicates through visions, sometimes music, His own audible voice, or the words of someone else ... and in the case of King Belshazzar, even mysterious writing on a wall! Let's embrace the mystery and creativity of God so it inspires our own innovation and imagination. Imagine your creativity, inspired by the Creator, infusing culture with truth and grace?
Swallowed Pride
November 12, 2023 • Kyle Trigg • Daniel 4
It's easy to think we're the kings and queens of our castles - that we're "large and in charge" of our own success. But, as they say, arrogance comes before the fall. Sometimes, we need to be reminded of Who's really in control - the One who deserves all the honour. Are we ready for a humility check?
Burning Questions
October 22, 2023 • James Paton • Daniel 3
If you were backed into a corner and put into the hot seat, would your faith stand strong? Faith resists the pressure to conform. It gives us courage and endurance. The story of Daniel’s friends reminds us that sometimes God delivers us in the fire, not from it ... are we ready for the challenge?
Faith that Listens
October 15, 2023 • James Paton • Daniel 2
Wanting to be right is the trademark of our culture. Trusting God for the answers is hard - especially when we're under pressure to figure everything out on our own. How often do we listen for the whisper of God for wisdom? Would we recognize His voice in the noise of intimidating people and circumstances, like Daniel?
From Exile to Excellence
October 8, 2023 • Kyle Trigg • Daniel 1
Would we stay grounded if the world around us changed and we were pulled away from the people we love and everything that's familiar? Would we choose to honour God with our day-to-day lives, no matter what? This series on Daniel will inspire us to stand firm in our faith even when we're stretched to the max.
