This morning we begin
a study in the Book of Daniel, a series we are calling Servant of the Sovereign
God. The Book of Daniel contain two of the most well-known and loved stories in
the Bible—the Lion’s Den and the Fiery Furnace. Readers of the book have come to
love Daniel and his three friends for their awe-inspiring acts of faithfulness
in the face of great danger. That said, the Book of Daniel was not written so
that we could marvel at Daniel or his faithful friends. The Book of Daniel was
written so that we would see the goodness of the Sovereign God and bow before
Him. Will you join with your church family in prayer as we humble ourselves
before the Almighty God?
