Dare to Explain (Daniel 5:1-6, 13-17, 22-30)

“I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.” (Psalm 25:2)

Our main reading is Daniel 5, the origin of the phrase, “The writing is on the wall.”

Advent is a time when we remember that God will ultimately win. Whoever seems victorious in the present will face God’s judgement in the future. Advent is a chance to remind ourselves to keep trusting in Christ, so that we will not be put to shame.

Dare to Dream (Daniel 7:9-14)

“[The Son of Man] was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and people of every language worshipped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” (Daniel 7:14)
It is Advent Sunday, and we will be looking at Daniel’s vision in chapter 7 which shows us God’s perspective on the future.

Dare to Resist (Daniel 3:13-30)

”They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.” (Daniel 3:28b)

This Sunday, we continue our series on Daniel with a look at the time, when Daniel’s friends resisted strong pressure to worship a golden statue.
