Passage: Daniel 12:1-13 This morning, we finish up our time in the amazing book of Daniel with the conclusion of the final vision Daniel received from God describing the time of the end and the ultimate hope of God’s people. As Christians living in the midst of a culture opposed to the things of God, […]
Passage: Daniel 11:1-45 One well-regarded commentator denied that it was even possible to preach a sermon on this morning’s text. Granted, this passage contains an overwhelming amount of historical specificity focused upon a time that would appear to have little-to-any relevance to a 21st century Christian. But there are truths and themes contained within this […]
Passage: Daniel 10:1-21 Living in the west, we are far more skeptical of spiritual reality and demonic activity than people in less developed parts of the world. We often make two critical errors when it comes to Satan: either we give him too much credit by “finding him under every rock”, or we live as […]
Passage: Daniel 9:20-27 One commentator has said, “The history of the exegesis of the 70 weeks of Daniel is the dismal swamp of Old Testament criticism.” To say the least, this is one of the most difficult, controversial, and misunderstood passages in all of Scripture. While we will take time to try to understand some […]
Passage: Daniel 9:1-19 The book of Daniel is not organized chronologically. Today’s passage covers the time shortly after Daniel was miraculously rescued from the lion’s den in chapter 6. What we have recorded for us in chapter 9 is one the greatest prayers in all of scripture. We can learn much from Daniel’s prayer and […]
Passage: Daniel 8:1-27 After three weeks looking at sanctification and living out the Christian life, we return this morning to our sermon series in the book of Daniel. At first glance, chapter eight may sound redundant; reminding us of the same themes we have seen in chapters two and seven. But there is a key […]
Passage: Daniel 7:1-28 We move now into the second half of Daniel, the part that gets people all worked up and often engaged in wild speculation – his prophecies. Our plan is to carefully look at these prophecies but not to be terribly dogmatic about our interpretations. Rather, we want to focus on what is […]
Passage: Daniel 6:1-28 It is certainly one of the most well-known of all bible stories, but this is no children’s tale. As we complete the first half of the book of Daniel (the account of Daniel’s life), we are again presented with a man who stands faithful because the God he serves is completely sovereign […]
Passage: Daniel 5:1-31 This morning in Pastor Dan’s absence, we welcome Rick Hackett to the pulpit. Rick is an elder here at Mayer Community Church. Today’s passage continues the theme of God’s sovereignty which we have seen in these opening chapters of the book of Daniel. Like Nebuchadnezzar last week, King Belshazzar, despite all his […]
Passage: Daniel 4:1-37 He was amazed in chapter 2 and astonished in chapter 3, yet he was not converted. Despite Nebuchadnezzar’s idolatry, pride, and arrogance, God did not quit working on him. Today we consider how the most powerful man on earth learned the lesson that the true path to glory is through humility, and […]
