scripture: daniel 2:1-2:49

The world under human kingdoms is a dark place in need of hope. God reveals to Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar and to us that the greatest hope we could ever have is this: God is really God and everything is going His way.

Not all of us have dreams and when we do they don’t always make sense to and may not tell of a future situation. In this sermon we hear about Daniel describing and interpreting the first dream that king Nebuchadnezzar had and what plans God had for him and his kingdom...

Just as Daniel turns to faith in God's covenant promises, so should we face the fears of our age with trust in the new covenant of Christ Jesus.

In the face of impossible circumstances, Daniel and his friends learned to lean into faith and prayer, with an outcome only God could arrange.

Daniel 2:1-49 Book of Daniel Pastor Phil Ballmaier 3-22-17 Daniel was one of the Hebrew teenagers taken captive by the Babylonians and brought to Babylon in the first deportation which occurred in 606 BC. Daniel was deeply committed to his God, the God of Israel, and purposed that he would live for and honor God in Babylon even as he had done in Jerusalem. Because of Daniel’s faith and commitment to God, the LORD used him in incredible ways and he became a high ranking official in both the Babylonian and Medo-Persian empires. His life personifies the adage, “Blossom wherever God plants you.” Daniel was a man who purposed in his heart (1:8) that he would not defile himself with the pleasures of Babylon (the world) but would remain faithful to his God no matter what. The Book of Daniel is not only a book of history, it is also one of the most incredible books of prophecy in the Bible. As we read and study this book may we accept the challenge the Holy Spirit has placed in it for all of us who are the people of God—“Dare to be a Daniel!” For more information visit our website at: www.ccelkgrove.org We can be contacted at 1.847.895.3545
