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

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. So you're going to be glad that you were here tonight, the very first study in Daniel, chapter one. Go ahead and find your way there, and we'll begin to work our way through those verses in the next few moments.

I heard about two monkeys. You know it's a problem when a pastor starts off a joke with two monkeys, so just bear with me and laugh. I heard about two monkeys that were sitting on a tree limb one day, and they looked down and there was a tiger down there below them. And so one monkey looked over at the other monkey and said, ''I dare you.'' The monkey said, ''You dare me to do what?'' He said, ''I dare you to run down there and kick that tiger in the backside.'' And the other monkey said, ''All right. I'll take that dare, so he ran down there, got up behind the tiger, and kicked him in the backside.
Tiger turned around and growled and jumped at the monkey, and the monkey took off running through the trees. And so the tiger's right behind him, just right after him, right after him, and the monkey looked around, and the tiger's getting closer and closer and closer, so he kicked it up a notch and finally put some distance between him and that tiger. 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 ...
