Daniel 3
Daniel's three courageous friends faced a death sentence for refusing King Nebuchadnezzar's order to bow down to a golden image. But they boldly declared, “Be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up." When the world pressures us to compromise our faith, we must respond with courageous commitment and boldness for the Lord.
Daniel 3
When Daniel's three courageous friends refused to bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar's golden image, their malicious enemies sought to accuse them of evil and disobedience before the king. But to the Lord's ears, these accusations were actually a testimony of their faithfulness and steadfast commitment to Him – even in the face of the persecution and hostility from an ungodly culture and society.
Daniel 2:31-49
The famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud wrote, "The Interpretation of Dreams" – and we can only imagine what methods he would have used to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar's disturbing dream. But Daniel interpreted the king's dream by fervently seeking the Lord, and entrusting the situation and his very life to the ultimate Author of Truth, wisdom, and understanding.
Daniel 2:31-49
When some misguided people have a vivid, disturbing dream, they visit a fortune teller, consult a horoscope, or call the psychic hotline. But these are no different from the magicians, enchanters, and diviners of ancient Babylon, and their so-called insights are rubbish. Genuine wisdom and spiritual insight can only come from the author of Truth – the Lord God Almighty.
Hebrews 10:19-25
You can't just pour some powdered drink mix into a pitcher of water and serve it. You have to stir it up for it to be any good to anyone. Join us again as Dr. Reeder helps us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.
Daniel 2:1-30
Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech inspired and uplifted many people. King Nebuchadnezzar also had a dream that caused a very different reaction. His enchanters and magicians feared for their lives when the king challenged them to reveal his dream to him. What happened when a determined Daniel came face-to-face with the King's disturbing dream?
Daniel 2:1-30
There are about 350 biographical sketches of God's people in the Bible, but only about 67 actually finished strong in their relationship with God. Well, Daniel started strong AND finished strong, consistently impacting the godless society around him, from the time of his youth in the court of the King Nebuchadnezzar throughout his lifetime.
Daniel 1
A change in your diet can help you lose weight, improve your physical condition, and eliminate certain health problems. It can literally save your life. Well, Daniel insisted upon a change in his diet that actually endangered his life, by going against the king's edict. How did God blessed Daniel's courageous act of dangerous devotion to the Lord in the face of adversity?
Daniel 1
Tennis star Andre Agassi appeared in commercials for Canon Cameras and declared, "Image is everything." Indeed, image was everything to King Nebuchadnezzar when he wanted some choice Israelites to take back to Babylon. But for the Lord and his faithful followers like Daniel, image ISN'T everything – character counts, and a willingness to follow Him no matter what the cost.
Daniel 1
Daniel looked like the type of Israelite that King Nebuchadnezzar wanted to take back to Babylon to serve in his court – young, handsome, smart, and socially adept. But his character was marked by faithfulness, commitment to God's Truth, and unswerving devotion to the Lord – qualities that made him a change agent in the pagan culture around him, and can make US change agents as well.
Romans 15:14-16
Many Christians believe that biblical instruction, counsel, and admonition is exclusively the pastor's job. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he shows us why the difficult, yet necessary task of biblical instruction, counsel, and admonition is actually every believer's responsibility.
Daniel 1
King Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem, and brought back to Babylon young Israelite men of good appearance, intelligence, wisdom, skill, and understanding. Daniel was one of the young men chosen – but he met a far different and more important criteria: God's criteria of faithfulness, adherence to His truth, and an unquenchable desire to please the Lord with his motives and actions.
Dr. Francis Schaeffer, one of the foremost Christian thinkers of the 20th century, wrote the influential book, "How Should We Then Live?: The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture." He challenged believers to live by total affirmation of the Bible's morals, values, and meaning. How does Daniel's life and example help US answer this vital question: How should we then live?
How are we to live in a nation abandoning Christian truth and devolving into a society on the very brink of neo-paganism? We can learn a great deal from the life of a faithful follower of God many centuries ago – Daniel, who found himself in a situation similar to what God's people face today. Join us today as we begin an in-depth series examining Daniel's Memorable Memoirs and Message
2 Corinthians 1:15-22
The hymn “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty” declares, “Let the Amen sound from His people again, gladly for aye we adore Him.” Our Amen is a verbal affirmation, sign, and signature that all of God’s truth is “Yes” and is fulfilled in Christ. Amen is a divinely-provided divinely-commanded word, used in response to genuine prayer and to God’s Word faithfully read and preached
2 Corinthians 1:15-22
Millions of Christians say "Amen" when they finish praying, singing a hymn, or reciting the Apostles' Creed, without giving any thought to the meaning and significance of this one little word. What are we really saying, when we say "Amen?"
Romans 15:1-7
Some believers may be spiritual infants with weak, immature faith – and it is a tragedy to ever see them as a burden or hindrance to the church. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he demonstrates how important it is for Christians to welcome, accept, and bear patiently with each other.
1 John 5:11-13
The first Epistle of John says, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” The Apostle John wanted his readers to receive the gift of everlasting life through faith in Jesus Christ, and to know for certain that they possessed it. If you are united to Him by faith, you have the certain hope of everlasting future glory in His presence.
1 John 5:11-13
John 3:16 is perhaps the most familiar and well-known Bible verse in the world: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” The promise of eternal life in Jesus Christ is the glorious, blessed hope of every believer, and it constitutes the final article of faith in the Apostles’ Creed: “I believe in the life everlasting.”
1 Corinthians 15
The hymn “In Resurrection Bodies” proclaims, “O joy of resurrection, all sin and sorrow past, to see the face of Jesus, to be like him at last! Made perfect in his image, complete in Christ the Son, in resurrection glory we'll share the life he won.” When we confess, “I believe in the resurrection of the body,” we declare that we are saved from our sins unto our resurrected bodies for life everlasting.
