Backbone Wk. 5 | Same Sin, Different Decade

Belshazzar had a front-row seat to his predecessor's downfall — pride, arrogance, judgment — and reached for the same sin anyway. He wasn't ignorant. He knew all this. In this message from Daniel 5, Pastor Cory Ball unpacks the story of the writing on the wall (Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin) and asks a harder question than "do we know better?" — it's "will we still reach for it anyway?" We'll look at what real backbone costs, why Daniel refused the king's reward before he'd even spoken, and why the sin that ends you rarely shows up looking new. 🏠 ABOUT REDEMPTION Redemption Church is a community in Kirkwood, MO, helping people meet, know, and live for Jesus.
