This is a two-part sermon by Alistair Begg delivered at Parkside Church. Pastor Begg looks at Daniel 6:1-28 and uses the events found there as a lesson of encouragement to us – especially in the difficult climate which Christianity finds itself in today. Can we be like Daniel and hold on to our faith? Where do we draw our line in the sand?
From Parkside Church:
As a young man, Daniel resolved to remain obedient to God throughout his life. As we encounter him in his later years, we find that he stood firm in his decision to live for the Lord. Alistair Begg teaches that Daniel was distinguished because of his obedience to God and faithfulness in his work, yet for these reasons he was also despised by his peers. Looking to Daniel as an example, we are challenged to consider what it looks like to trust God and serve Him faithfully in the midst of a world that opposes Him.
Our God Reigns, Part 1
Facing an edict forbidding prayer to anyone but the king, Daniel continued his established pattern of private prayer to Almighty God. Alistair Begg explains that Daniel’s steady faithfulness, unjust suffering, and ultimate deliverance must point us forward to the greater conflict at hand. Despite the best efforts of the evil one to destroy the kingdom of God, our faithful Savior is victorious. We can look to Him in times of crisis knowing that He lives, reigns, and is mighty to save.
