How To Get Your Prayers Answered
As we turn to Chapter Ten, we find Daniel has been praying for 21 days. It seems he is not getting through and the heavens are as brass. Most of us would have given up, attributing the silence to the "will of God." But, Daniel persists. He continues to "chasten himself" by refusing creature...

The Seventy Weeks | Part 2
Last episode in our series Bold in Babylon, Daniel received the download of the ages. It's often called Daniel's Seventy Weeks, describing the mountain peaks of events from Daniel's day until the end of time. Whatever our conclusions on the details, our primary focus must always be to preach the...

The Countdown Begins
Daniel is now an old man. Reading the prophecy of Jeremiah, he understands that the seventy years of exile are nearly complete. What does he do? He sets his face toward the Lord with prayer, fasting, and confession. From Lamentations 3, we're reminded: God's mercies, His compassions, His...

The Ram, the Goat, and the Little Horn
Two years after the vision of Chapter 7, Daniel has another vision. More details about the future only create more astonishment. There's a powerful ram who is overtaken by a young male goat. The goat has four horns, but they are broken off as a little horn arises furiously. There's mention of...

Catch A Vision for the Future
It all began with a purpose in the heart of a young man. He determined to live clean and say "no," even if it would cost him his life. Then, he trusted God to reveal the King's dream, saving lives of every royal counselor in the empire. His courage spread. Others also refused to bow to pagan…

When Kneeling Is Standing | Part 1

-
Let Daniel Be Called
Daniel has been quietly serving God with no recognition for more than 30 years. Though prominent in the past administration, he had been overlooked in this one. No miraculous moments. No spiritual spotlight. Just faithful obedience in obscurity. The king had thrown a great feast for 1,000 of his...

By Faith

The Night the Music Stopped
Belshazzar throws a great feast for a thousand of his lords. Wine flows, music plays, and the golden vessels from God's temple are raised in defiance. He is smug in his security, but tonight, October 12th, 539 BC, is the last night of the Chaldean Empire. In the light of the candlestick, a hand...
-
Those That Walk in Pride
The Bible is full of curious stories. None more than that in Daniel 4. Nebuchadnezzar has had another dream. This time he knows the content, but not the meaning. Once again, Daniel is the only one who can interpret the dream. It's not a comfortable message for the king. But Daniel fearlessly...

When the Whole World Bows
History has a long list of rulers who desire worship so much they demand a public demonstration of loyalty. Then they pass off the scene and it takes a high school history teacher to remind us of who they were. Nebuchadnezzar was just such a ruler. Other names come to mind--Hitler, Stalin, Mao,...
-
The Coming World Peace
King Nebuchadnezzar has had a dream. No astrologer, sorcerer, magician, or Chaldean can describe the dream, much less interpret it. In a rage, he has sent Arioch to assassinate Daniel and his three friends. For three years, Daniel has purposed and practiced his faith privately and publicly. Now…

When Our Cause It is Just
Happy Independence, America! Our national anthem is unique in that its first verse ends with a question: "Does the flag 'yet wave' over America?" The original poem, written by Francis Scott Key on September 14, 1814 from the perspective of a hostage aboard an enemy ship, has four stanzas. The…

Bold in Babylon: Understand the Plan
Three years have passed since Daniel entered Babylon University. He has recently graduated summa cum laude with a ten-point lead. Aramaic flows off his tongue. His mind is saturated with the learning of the Chaldeans. Yet his trust lies beyond the stars--straight to the Creator of the universe....

Faith Of Our Fathers
Psalm 128 is a message to fathers - especially fathers who want to actually be happy on Father's Day. I've been so blessed in studying it this week. I hope I can give you a glimpse of the richness of this word written specifically to dads. Let me quickly add: there's only one perfect Father....

Living Your Purpose
Last week we left Daniel standing at the magnificent blue gate of Babylon, torn from his home and cultural support. Yet, deep inside, he knew he was still royalty, specifically chosen and exceptionally gifted. Babylon could try to change him, but his purpose was greater than any society or...

Identify Your Purpose
His head shaved, wearing strange attire, Daniel stands at the magnificent blue gate on the north entrance to the most powerful nation on earth. Torn from his family and homeland, never to return, every sight and sound was a reminder of a brand new existence. He caught a glimpse of his reflection…

Bold in Babylon
Daniel, an exiled prince in the capital of his world, purposed in his heart to not defile himself. What a guy! Purposed. Pure. Prayerful. He even became a Prophet. We've all heard the stories. He's our hero, no doubt about it. But how did he do it? As he walked out of Jerusalem in chains,...

Remember
Memory fog is on the rise. Whether we blame it on divided attention, increased stress, or insufficient sleep, it seems we can't remember all that is required of us in this fast-paced lifestyle of ours. Frustrating as it is to forget names and details, it is more alarming to watch our nation…

Rededicate 250

Hands Like Mom's
Happy Mother's Day from GraceWay! In a day that celebrates vanity — the superficial, the fake, the things that are here today and gone tomorrow — Proverbs 31 calls us to honor something deeper: virtue. Today we'll look at five glimpses of the virtuous woman's hands — hands that build a home, not...

How to Spell S.U.C.C.E.S.S.
As we welcome our college students home for summer, we wish them great success in their summer internships. With this in mind, I went searching for the word "success" in the Bible. Did you know it is only found once? One thing is very evident: if we will follow God's recipe for success, we can be...

Living in Victory
When Jesus said, "Lazarus, come forth!" he came out of the cave bound hand and foot. Only Jesus could give him new life, but then Jesus turned to the disciples and said, "Loose him and let him go." We finished up last week with Lazarus witnessing, fellowshipping, and suffering with the Lord. He…

Leave the Tomb
As new life springs up all around us, we are reminded of the power and faithfulness of our Creator. It seems as if God is showing off His creativity, as well as His joy in delighting us with it! We will linger a little longer on the resurrection this week. On Easter Sunday, we heard the Message…

Arise and Walk
Did you know celebrating the Resurrection once a year is not a biblical command? In fact, since the resurrection of Jesus is the core belief of every born again believer, it would do us well to not only celebrate it every Sunday, but also to realize its power every day of the week. In this power…

Message of the Stone
As the women rushed to the Garden Tomb, a heavy question hung between them, "Who shall roll us away the stone?" The law had sealed the stone. The religious crowd had made sure no one could ever escape the wages of their sin. Still, they hoped to see Jesus. It would give them some melancholy...

This is the Day
Blessed is He Who Comes in the Name of the Lord! Today we rush to the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem. We join a throng gathering to herald the arrival of the great prophet and healer Jesus. "Here He comes!" shouts a young lad near us. The crowd is cheering and throwing their coats on the ground to…

Finding Your Field
God is calling us or as our text says, beseeching us. That word means to beg or pray. His call is urgent. What He is asking us to do will be best for us. We will find our field of service and fulfill the purpose for which we were created. If you are hearing your Creator's voice to repent and...

The Radiance of Revival
For eight weeks we have followed Moses as he experienced God's way of grace in a whole new light. We ended last week with Moses' request, "Show me Thy glory." And God says, "In My time, in My way, yes. I will." For 40 days and 40 nights Moses basks in the glory of God. He doesn't eat or drink.…

The Glory of God
Welcome to GraceWay! Whether you are a regular attender, or this is your first time, my prayer is that you will know more about God before you leave. One thing is certain, He calls us to "draw nigh" and seek His face. In our message today, Moses does just that. It looks as if the brand new nation...

The Renewal of Revival
Have you ever prayed for revival? I have. I have been a part of "revival meetings" and even seen God move greatly in the midst of a church service. But, there is another, deeper work of revival that is illustrated in our text today. I have never seen it, but it has been witnessed in our nation...

The Love of a Leader
In the last message of this series we spoke about the Law of Leadership. Moses had been on Mt. Sinai with God for 40 days. He returned to find his people worshipping a golden calf. He throws down the Ten Commandments and demands a confession and a consecration. As the sun sets, 3,000 people die....

It's Not About You (Or Me)
Today I would like to introduce my friend Ret. Gen. John Teichert. The year we moved to DC to start GraceWay, I met John. Though from different walks of life, we were instantly unified on our desire to see God revive our beloved country. John is preaching a message entitled, "It's Not About You…

The Law of Leadership
His mercies are new every morning. Great is the faithfulness of our God! Thank you for being here to worship Him with us today. Our church is named "GraceWay" for a reason. As we have studied the story surrounding our theme verse in Exodus 33:13, we have seen the Dilemma of Delay and the...

The Partnership of Prayer
In this message from Exodus 32:7–14, Pastor Brad Wells teaches on “The Partnership of Prayer” as part of The Grace Way. From Moses’ intercession, he shows that real prayer is an effectual conversation with God that makes a difference by reestablishing God’s control, reaffirming God’s character…

The Dilemma of Delay
As we begin our message this morning, we find the new nation of Israel waiting on their leader to return from his meeting with God. He's been gone for over a month. Whose to say he hasn't died up there on the mountain? Or, maybe he just wanted to show off how well he knew God and leave them in…

The Meaning of GraceWay
Congratulations, GraceWay! Eleven years ago on this very day, our church met for the first time. Friends and family came to support the first service, but only six people came from our community. Four of them returned the next service. From this tiny group, God has grown us to what we see today....

What It Means To Occupy
Our theme for 2026 is OCCUPY TILL I COME. What does it mean? How can we fulfill it? This is the subject of today's message from Luke 19. May the Lord challenge GraceWay Baptist Church of Capitol Hill to fulfill His call and seek His power. GraceWay has been called to occupy the Eastern Market...

What Makes Wisemen Wise
This Christmas season has been different for our church as we press toward closing on our new property. Yet, the true meaning of Christmas has pressed upon me perhaps more than ever before. God became flesh. If that isn't true. religion is futile and we are fools. But if it is true, we are wise…

Light and Life to All He Brings
At sundown this evening, the "Festival of Lights" known as Hanukkah will begin. It celebrates a miracle which took place some 160 years before Christ was born. After brave Jews took back their Temple from the Seleucids, the Menorah burned for eight days on the oil meant for one day. We too...

How to Keep an Attitude of Gratitude
Merry Christmas, GraceWay! 'Tis the season to be jolly...and busy...and frazzled and...well, you've met them (or maybe have been a Grinch yourself at times!). This is why I decided we must begin December with a throwback to Thanksgiving. If you want to have a truly merry Christmas, you must...

Thanks-Living
Happy Thanks-Living from GraceWay Baptist Church! This message is from Psalm 100 and focuses on sacrifice and an attitude of gratitude. Why is it important to live with an attitude of gratitude?

When I Trust in God
My wife and I just returned from six days in Israel. The people speak of both breathing a sigh of relief that the conflict is over, and holding their breathe that tensions do not reignite. Peace is evasive. So it will always be until the Prince of Peace reigns in Jerusalem! In the meantime, the...
