Stand – Week 2 | Stand Up

A proud ruler walks across his palace roof, declaring Babylon as his achievement while the seeds of his downfall quietly begin to grow. This sermon digs into that specific moment of arrogance and the awkward, dangerous space it creates for anyone who cares enough to speak truth—especially someone like Daniel, a displaced exile standing before the most powerful man on earth. The message traces three ways to stand: with care for the human heart, with caution against our own pride, and with conviction to speak needed truth. You’ll hear how humility becomes the doorway to sanity, mercy to justice, and how God’s strange work of bringing down the proud can actually be an act of rescue—an ending that invites you to listen a little closer.
