2024-10-20: Pastor Mark Quist – Daniel 6 – Daniel: About Kingdoms and A Kingdom: Standing Tall and Bended Knee Through it All; Daniel and a Den of Lions
The Book of Daniel is stunning! Wowser… as we enter chapter 6, it seems like the climax of the book in that Daniel is thrown into a lion’s den. It’s certain death. For what? For worshipping his God in prayer, mostly in the privacy of his own home. The jealousy and envy of his peers drives them to devise a manipulative and extravagant plan of deception of King Darius for the sole purpose of trapping Daniel and getting rid of him.
Yet, God intervenes. This was unplanned and unforeseen by Daniel’s peers and a great reversal occurs in real time. It’s a wonderful story – one we have potentially heard many, many times. There are echo’s of Daniel that reverberate through the rest of Scripture. Come and see what God has done.
