Adventurous Living - The Meadow Springs Community Church Podcast

What happens to the Israelites in this portion of scripture is... what is it? Preparation... persecution... protection? All they know is that God has made them a promise of freedom. How it goes down and what happens afterward is the beginning of the story of ultimate freedom and redemption for all Christians.

We have come to the end of our series in the book of Daniel - boy, there was a lot. What did we learn? What did we not learn? During this series,"Christians, Culture and the Beast", the parallels between that time and our modern culture and socio-political environment are clear; it's about power - who wants it and who ultimately grants it. In the end, like Daniel and his friends, we can gratefully say that "we do not need to defend ourselves before [you]" to those who deny the sovereignty, power and greatness of God.
