Daniel's prophecies are too accurate, some say. In our series on Daniel's God we've come to Chapter 7, and a dream about four successive world empires. He was seeing hundreds of years into the future. But from our vantage point, thousands of years later, critics have a hard time dealing with the precision of his predictions. Someone must have written these after the fact. Or could it be that God knows the future as well as He knows the past - and everything else? Here's Pastor Jim.

The kind of God you serve will determine the kind of person you become. If your God is generous, you'll develop confidence in His grace, and become a giver, yourself. If your God is faithful, that will cultivate faithfulness in you. In Daniel, Chapter 6 the prophet is serving a new king, but the same Lord. And he serves both well. And that gets him in trouble. Here's Jim to open the sermon, The God Who is Trustworthy.

Today, we "read the handwriting on the wall." "A little bird told me" that many of our common idioms come from the Bible. From "no rest for the wicked" to "my 2 cents' worth." One of the most ominous of these phrases comes from the passage we'll read today, Daniel, Chapter 5. Nebuchadnezzar is long gone. We have a different arrogant king, and he wants to throw an enormous party - one for the history books. He thinks he'll "eat, drink and be merry," but he's about to "bite the dust" and "give up the ghost."

If I'm successful I want the credit; if I'm not, it's somebody else's fault. As Jonathan Swift put it, "The power of fortune is confessed only by the miserable; for the happy impute all their success to prudence and merit." Nebuchadnezzar was happy. He was a man who had everything except someone to thank. So God, who had given all these gifts, was about to give one more - of a different kind. In our study of Daniel we move to Chapter 4. Here's Jim with Part 1 of, The God Who Rules.

Today we'll look at 3 of the most famous characters in the Bible: Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. It doesn't seem fair that Daniel is known to us by his Hebrew name - nobody calls him Belteshazzar - while his three friends were stuck with their Babylonian handles: Shadrach, Meshach an Abed-nego. But they are recognized by those names to every Sunday School student worthy of his or her gold star. What did their bold encounter with a rash ruler reveal about The God Who Delivers? Here's Jim with Part 1 of that sermon.

King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream. But he can't remember it. What does he do? Like any good boss in a crisis, he delegates. The king's dream-problem was about to become a nightmare for his entire staff of "magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers." Daniel wouldn't seem to have much in common with those men, but he agreed with them about one thing: No mere mortal could both recall the king's forgotten dream for him, and interpret it. If Daniel hadn't believed in The God Who Reveals, then his life - and his book - would have ended right there.

Sometimes when the Lord gives us a gift we want to say, "Thanks. Did you keep the receipt?" God's gifts to us are a little different: it's not always obvious at first how this will be good for us, or why He gave it. But there are people in the Bible who can help us with that. One of them is Daniel. He was hauled away from his homeland and forced to serve a heathen king - all for the sins of other people. But Daniel believed in The God Who Gives, and that's the inaugural sermon in our new study.
