Oh hey!
Look at me, I'm just writing all over the place! I figured it's time for me to bring back Sermon notes. Mainly, because I was in church this Sunday and actually took notes. So, a successful day all around. Anywho, without further ado, here you go!
Daniel and the Lion's Den - Daniel 6
- Do you justify sin in your life, because everyone else does it?
John 3:20
- Do you have a Daniel effect on people?
- If Daniel's prayer life was inconsistent, or random, they would have never hatched this plan.
- False self: You are what you do, You are what you have, You are what other people think of you
True self: You are beloved
- Are there Darius' in your life?
- Faith's about obeying, despite consequences.
- We can not read the story moralistically.
It points to the salvation we have waiting for us in the future
- The miracles in the Bible highlight the way God intended the world to be (it's the restoration of how God wants it to be)
- Because the real Daniel went through the lion's den, we can face whatever lions we have with poise and confidence.
- We can not do this unless God is the lion in our life.
- Daniel looking towards Jerusalem is us looking towards the cross.
- Where can I make the greatest kingdom impact?

As a side note, Amy and myself had some logistical questions about this whole lion's den:
- Where was this den?!
- How far outside of the city was it?
- Why did they have to roll a stone in front of it? Why was it not always there?!
- What did the lions eat regularly in between people?
