He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands

This is a verse by verse series through the Book of Daniel—we are currently in week three.

This series kind of addresses a couple of things you really wanted to see based on some of the Easter Survey results—first it is verse by verse (we are going deep) and second, it addresses what’s happening in culture today.

Daniel’s life and story is a map to help us negotiate the cultural landscape we are experiencing today and at the same time remain faithful to God and His word.

Prior to the people being displaced and moved, Israel continually turned away from God. God had sent prophets to warn them—but they refused to listen. 

Many of the people, except to poorest, were moved to Babylon which is in modern-day Iraq.

The Book of Daniel tells the story of Daniel and his close associates and what they faced in Babylon. Daniel and his friends never bowed to what was going on, but they also lived such attractive lives that they never lost their influence either.
