Aug 9, 2020    Bruce Gordon

In this sermon, we delve into the inspiring story of Daniel, a young man of unwavering faith who stands resolute in a foreign land riddled with challenges and idolatry. Despite facing drastic changes, including a forceful assimilation into Babylonian culture, Daniel purposes in his heart not to defile himself with the king’s luxuries. Through his steadfast commitment to God's commandments, Daniel exemplifies a life anchored in divine sovereignty, even amid adversity. This message encourages believers to trust in God's ultimate control, prioritize faithfulness over conformity, and live godly lives in a secular world. As we unpack these truths, we explore how to align our actions with our beliefs and find strength in God's promises, ensuring that our lives remain directed toward fulfilling His will.
