022. The Most High Ruleth | Studies in Daniel Part 22: How Important Is Prophecy?

Daniel 5:17-31
 
It is so important that the Christian study prophecy, for therein lies our hope. As we are learning, prophecy only instills fear and panic in the hearts of the lost because they have been “living it up” in defiance of God. But for the saved, it is a comfort and a necessary reality-check. Keep your eyes on eternity and not on the perceived prosperity of the wicked in this life.

021. The Most High Ruleth | Studies in Daniel Part 21: Famous Last Feast Part 2

Daniel 5:1-16
 
This is what it looks like when God shows up. The lost are not living it up anymore, but the saved are reminded of the all-sufficient help of their God. Prophecy is the source of hope and peace for those whose trust is in Jesus, but it strikes fear into those who live as if He does not exist. Tune in next week to hear more about the importance of prophecy for the believer.

020. The Most High Ruleth | Studies in Daniel Part 20: Famous Last Feast Part 1

Daniel 5:1-4
 
What a person enjoys in this life is not the measure of their existence, but how they view God is. People who “party it up” now will be confronted with the terrifying reality of a holy God some day, and that reckoning will end in their destruction. On the other hand, those who follow God, though they might not look like much in this life, are the truly successful ones.

019. The Most High Ruleth | Studies in Daniel Part 19: King Gone Rogue

Daniel 4:28-37
 
Sometimes God has to show us how little control we have over our own lives so that we realize that He is really the one in control. This was the case for Nebuchadnezzar, and today we get to read this incredible part of his testimony and finish out Daniel chapter four. It is going by quick!

018. The Most High Ruleth | Studies in Daniel Part 18: The Mercy of God

Daniel 4:20-28
 
In this beautiful interaction between Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar, we see the mercy of God pursuing a sinner over and over again. This message to repent and come to God is open to every person who wants to get right with God. We will see the testimony of Nebuchadnezzar come to fruition next week, so stay tuned!

017. The Most High Ruleth | Studies in Daniel Part 17: What’s In A Testimony?

Daniel 4:1-19
 
God, in His wisdom, gave one of the truest monarchs in history a direct revelation in order to call him to Himself. This chapter shows us the difference between encounters with God or confessions of God and true conversion to God. May we never underestimate the power of our testimony.

016. The Most High Ruleth | Studies in Daniel Part 16: Trial by Fire Part 2

Daniel 3:19-30
 
This is how we ought to try to stand for what is right as we try to grow in favor with God and man. What an incredible account of men who were willing to risk their lives to serve God and who were blessed with ministry opportunities and promotion for following the Lord.

015. The Most High Ruleth | Studies in Daniel Part 15: Trial by Fire Part 1

Daniel 3:8-23
 
We are given such good examples of how to stand for what is right in the book of Daniel, and this one in particular focuses on Daniel’s three friends. You don’t want to miss this first part of the episode “Trial by Fire” from Daniel chapter 3.
