Dare You to Be a Daniel (1 of 10)
Series: Daniel - The Man, The Myth, and The Message

Daniel 1
You've got your Bibles tonight. You're going to be here tonight on the very first sermon in the book of Daniel; we're in Daniel chapter one tonight, and we've entitled this simple series of studies just Daniel, the Man, the Myth, and the Message.

And so as he got away from it, he looked down there and there were some newspapers on the ground. So he swung down there. Sat up next to a tree. Looked exactly like he was reading one of those newspapers. Finally, the tiger caught up with him and said, ''Hey. Have ...
