How can we be faithful to our God in a world that increasingly rejects him? How should God's people, as the cultural minority, engage the world? Is living by faith even worth the cost? What is the source of our courage in the face of increasing conflict? These are the ever-growing questions of our own day as followers of Jesus Christ. But these were also the questions of God's people in the book of Daniel. The message of Daniel is that our sovereign God overrules evil and strengthens his people to overcome faithfully. Our study of Daniel will deliver confidence and strength to each of us as we seek to bring God's grace and truth to this valley and the world.
