Daniel (Week 6) - Just as He Had Done Before
from Presence Church Teachings Hosted by Presence Church
How do we live in our host culture without compromising to our host culture? In this message from Daniel 6, Pastor Patrick walks through the familiar story of Daniel in the lions’ den with fresh attention to Daniel’s faithfulness, perspective, and prayer. Daniel did not serve Babylon or Persia by retreating from the world, but by seeking the good of the place where God had put him. Yet when the culture demanded ultimate allegiance, Daniel knew where to draw the line. This sermon explores how Daniel’s daily rhythms formed him into the kind of person who could stand firm when compromise came. He did not suddenly become courageous in the crisis. His life of prayer had already prepared him. Daniel’s story points us to Jesus, the truly righteous One, who entered the grave on behalf of the guilty so that we could receive life. When we fail, compromise, or find ourselves headed toward death, Jesus makes a way through repentance and new life in Him.
