A Tale of Two Cities | Daniel 1:1-7

In each generation, God’s people are called to live faithfully for Him. Kingdoms rise and fall, but God’s kingdom is the only one that will stand forever. The book of Daniel gives God’s people a sweeping view of history and inspires them to live faithfully by grounding them in the hope and promise of God’s everlasting kingdom. Change. Improvement. Progress. We all believe that history is going somewhere. Where did this belief come from? And where IS history going? In this sermon, we meet Daniel and his three friends as they are taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. As we follow their story, we discover the difference between Babylon's view of progress and God's view of progress, and we see how all of history tells the story of God and his everlasting kingdom.
