Have you wondered how to live as a Christian in a challenging, secular, and materialist world? Have you desired to live set apart<\/i> for Christ, while also being sent<\/i> by Christ to engage the world in an authentic way? Have you desired to live in Christian community, while not living exclusively in a self-affirming Christian bubble?<\/p>\n
The book of Daniel was written, in part, as an example for just these reasons. That\u2019s right, a book written approximately 2,500 years ago speaks clearly to the reality many Christians face today! In addition, Daniel was written to be a testimony to the sovereign, enduring glory, and power of God. And Daniel and his friends were able to make that glory known in a secular environment amongst non-believers.<\/p>\n
In chapters 1-6 we\u2019ll see how these believers pursued a relationship with God, while also dramatically proclaiming the salvation of God with humility and boldness. This resulted in radically altering the spiritual journey of one anti-God king and many other lives.<\/p>\n
Then in chapter 7, we\u2019ll look into a prophetic glimpse of our Messiah, Jesus Christ, and how this reality should affect the way we live today.<\/p>\n
