Life of Daniel: Good Dream or Nightmare?

Christians can get very discouraged as we see the world turning away from God and darkness seems to deepen all around us. But in a similar dark time God gave an earthly monarch a dream that shook him up and that is a message of hope and warning to the whole world for all time. Do you need hope?

Daniel 2
Mark 1:14-15
Revelation 11:15,21:1-8

Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
  • What was Daniel's first move when faced with this crisis?
  • Why is this so important?
  • What did this dream reveal about all earthly kingdoms?
  • Why was this important for both Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar to hear?
  • Why is it important of us to hear?
  • What did the dream reveal about the Kingdom of God?
  • Why is this important for all of us?

Life of Daniel: Dare to Be a Daniel

We live in a culture that is growing increasingly hostile to Christianity. How should one function in such an environment? Daniel is a good model for us to turn to because he was faced with a similar situation all of his adult life. This study will begin to look at his life with a view to how we can be faithful in trying times.

Daniel 1

Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
  • Why was the position Daniel put in so potentially dangerous for him?
  • What are some of the godly characteristics Daniel showed as a young man?
  • Why is it so hard to take a stand like he did?
  • Why was it so important for him and the others to take that stand so soon after they arrived in Babylon?
  • How is Daniel's situation similar to ours as Christians today?
  • What lessons should we learn from his life?
