In Daniel 7:1–8, Pastor Caleb explores Daniel’s vision of the beasts and what it reveals about the nature of the world around us. As we consider the question, “What do we expect from the world?” we’re reminded to see earthly powers clearly while placing our confidence and hope in God’s sovereign rule.
“Declaring the Truth of God,”
Pastor Caleb explores Daniel 6:25–28 and asks: What do you declare about God? As we see God’s power and faithfulness displayed in Daniel’s life, we’re challenged to consider how our own words and lives testify to who He is—our living God who rescues, saves, and reigns forever.
How does God get our attention before we go too far? In this message, Pastor Caleb explores Daniel 4:1–3, showing how God, in His mercy, warns us, humbles us, and invites us to recognize His authority. Rather than ignoring His voice, we're challenged to respond with humility, trust His purposes, and proclaim His faithfulness to others.
How Do We Despise God?
Daniel 5
Pastor Caleb explored the story of Belshazzar in Daniel 5, showing how we can despise God not only through outright rebellion, but also through pride, indifference, and failing to honor Him with the lives He has entrusted to us. This message calls us to humble ourselves before the Lord, recognize His sovereignty, and respond with repentance, reverence, and wholehearted devotion.
“Our Reaction to Being Used,”
Pastor Caleb explores Daniel 6:6–9 and asks a challenging question: How do you respond when you know that you have been used? Through Daniel’s story, we’ll consider how to respond with wisdom, faithfulness, and trust in God when others manipulate circumstances for their own purposes.
Responding to Crisis
Daniel 6:3–10
When crisis comes, our response reveals where our confidence truly lies. In Daniel 6:3–10, we see Daniel face opposition, pressure, and the threat of death—not with panic, but with unwavering faith. Join us as we explore how to remain faithful, prayerful, and steadfast when life takes an unexpected turn.
How Have You Been Played?
Daniel 3:8–15
Join Pastor Caleb Little as he explores Daniel 3:8–15, where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego become the targets of jealous accusers seeking to trap them and force them into compromise. This message examines how we respond when others manipulate, misrepresent, or pressure us for their own purposes, and how God calls us to stand firm in our convictions and trust Him in the midst of it all.
Sermon Summary – Daniel 2:37–38
Pastor Caleb challenged us to consider the question: In what ways are we inconsistent in our faith in God? As King Nebuchadnezzar was given power, authority, and influence by God, we are reminded that everything we have ultimately comes from Him. Yet, like Nebuchadnezzar, we can be quick to trust God in some areas of life while relying on our own strength in others. True faith calls us to consistently acknowledge God's sovereignty, trust His wisdom, and surrender every part of our lives to His rule—not just the parts that are convenient or comfortable.
How Has God Forced Us to Acknowledge Our Limitations?
Speaker: Caleb Little
Scripture: Daniel 2:10–11, 24–30, 31–45
In Daniel 2, King Nebuchadnezzar's impossible demand exposed the limits of human wisdom, power, and understanding. The wise men of Babylon openly admitted that no person could do what the king was asking, revealing a truth that all of us eventually face: there are situations in life that exceed our abilities.
Rather than relying on himself, Daniel turned to God in prayer and acknowledged that only God could reveal the mystery. When God provided the dream and its interpretation, Daniel refused to take credit, pointing instead to "the God in heaven who reveals mysteries." Through this, we see that God often allows us to reach the end of our own strength so that we will learn to depend on Him.
The dream itself reminded Nebuchadnezzar that even the greatest kingdoms and rulers are temporary. Human power, success, and control all have limits, but God's kingdom stands forever. When God exposes our limitations, it is not to discourage us but to redirect our trust from ourselves to Him.
Key Takeaway:
God uses impossible situations to remind us that our wisdom, strength, and control are limited. As we acknowledge our dependence on Him, we discover that He is the One who reveals mysteries, provides what we cannot, and rules over every kingdom and circumstance.
How do we respond to the mysteries that trouble us?
In this message, Pastor Caleb Little explores Daniel 2:2–6 and the response of King Nebuchadnezzar when faced with a mystery he could not understand. Through this passage, we are reminded of the limits of human wisdom and the faithfulness of God, who alone reveals what is hidden. Join us as we discover how to respond with trust, prayer, and confidence in God's sovereignty when confronted with uncertainty.
What has the Lord placed in your hands?
In Book of Daniel Chapter 1, we see that even in exile, God was still giving wisdom, favor, strength, and conviction to His people. Pastor Caleb concludes our study through Daniel 1 as we reflect on the gifts, grace, and calling the Lord has entrusted to each of us.
Question:
How are we setting ourselves apart for Christ?
Pastor Caleb continues in the book of Book of Daniel with Daniel 1:8–16, looking at the conviction and obedience of Daniel and his friends as they chose to remain faithful to God even in a culture that sought to reshape them.
This passage challenges us to consider what it truly means to live set apart — not through perfection or performance, but through daily surrender, conviction, and devotion to Christ.
“How Are You Being Influenced?” (Daniel 1:1–7)
Pastor Caleb asks the question, “How are you being influenced?” as he teaches from Daniel 1:1–7. In Babylon, Daniel, Hananiah, Azaraiah and Mishiel faced pressure to conform in identity and values, yet remained faithful to God. This passage challenges us to examine how the world shapes us and calls us to stand firm, rooted in God’s truth.
Pastor Caleb begins a new series in Daniel, asking, “What does the faithfulness of God look like?” In Daniel 1:1–2, even as Judah is taken into exile, we see that God is still in control. His faithfulness isn’t dependent on circumstances—He is sovereign and present, even in hardship, working out His purposes.
