Drawing the Line in the Sand
by Ken Trivette
1. The story of the brave men at the Alamo in 1836 has always inspired me, certainly every Texan. One particular story that is told about the events demonstrates the extraordinary bravery of the men who died there for Texas independence. On March 5, 1836, Col. Travis, knowing that the situation had become hopeless, gathered his men on that Saturday afternoon and said, ''We must die. Our business is not to make a fruitless effort to save our lives, but to choose the manner of our death.''2. Travis, only 26, saw three possibilities. They could surrender and face execution, or try to fight their way out, or ''remain in this fort…resist every...
The Secret to Standing Strong (1 of 6)
by Jeff Schreve
Now, when you think about going back to school, you think about grades and making the grade. And all of us want, when we're in school, we want to make good grades. And teachers like to give out good grades. I heard about one little boy. He was only in 2nd Grade. And he came up to his teacher one day about the middle of the semester, and he said, "Now, Miss Smith…" He wasn't doing very well in school. He said, "Miss Smith, I don't want to alarm you, but my daddy says if my grades don't improve, somebody's going to get a spanking". Now, obviously, he didn't understand how the grade system was working. It wasn't...
Crunch Time (3 of 12)
by Keith Krell
Have you ever been thrust into the spotlight at crunch time? Stop for just a moment and scan your memory bank. If you have an athletic background, have you stepped to the free-throw line in the second half with the game on the line? Have you stood at home plate in the final inning with two outs and the game tied? Have you been the soccer goalie trying to protect your goal in the waning moments with your team up by one? Perhaps your skill-set has not been your body but your mind. Have you experienced butterflies as the final contestant in a school spelling bee? Have you represented your school for the science fair and felt the...
The Integrity Crisis
by Ernest Easley
Let's take a little Bible quiz. I will give you a word and you complete it. Ready? "Adam and ______." "Noah and the _____." "Samson and ______." "Sodom and ______." "Daniel and the _____."And do you know what landed Daniel in the lion's den? I mean .. you would think that he must had done something really wicked and evil to end up in the lion's den. But the truth is that Daniel didn't end up in the lion's den because he did something wrong .. but because he did something right. Now if you think that by always doing right you will be rewarded and by doing wrong you will be punished .. think again. That is not always true...
Daniel, Key to All Bible Prophecy (1 of 23)
by Stan Coffey
Today we begin a study in the book of Daniel, The Last Days Of Planet Earth, prophecies of soon coming events from the book of Daniel. I'm going to ask that we turn to the book of Daniel. We are going to look for a moment at the first chapter and we may look at some other chapters in this book. Of course, it is one of the most fascinating and one of the most criticized books in all of the Bible by the critics and the liberal theologians. We'll read some of these verses to get some background and then we want to go right into the lesson to see if we can understand the circumstances and the events surrounding the writing of the book of Daniel and why this book is so very important. Daniel 1:1...
Series: Daniel-The Man God Esteemed Highly (1 of 5)
by Stuart Briscoe
Some scholars say "Daniel" was written in the 6th Century B.C., others the 2nd Century B.C. Either way, the people of God were living in perilous times. They needed to know how to conduct themselves, and the stories of Daniel showed how. We can learn from them. I. The Days that Demand Character. A. In Daniel's case: 1. The moral and spiritual collapse of Judah. Jeremiah 25:1 7 2. The reaction of the Lord. v. 2, Jeremiah 25:8 12; 2 Chronicles 36:15 23 3. The destruction of Jerusalem, temple and religious structures. v. 2 4. The call to live faithfully in an alien culture. Jeremiah 24:1 7; 29:4 14 B. In our case: The challenge to live...
Dare to Be Daniel (3 of 10)
by Fred Lowery
The setting of Daniel represents absolutely the worst time in the history of Israel. The day that they dreaded, the day that had been prophesied by the prophets, the day that they had been warned would happen if they didn't repent and turn to God. So, now it has happened. Three terrible things: No. 1; they were defeated by a pagan ruler. Even worse, God did it. God worked in the life of the pagan ruler. God enabled him to judge God's own people. Secondly, they were departed to a pagan nation under a pagan ruler. They were taken away in captivity. The third terrible thing that happened to them; there very on vessels, the holy...
Daniel's Devotions (15 of 18)
by Jerry Vines
The concluding verses of Daniel 9 is one of the greatest prophecies in all of the Bible. It is probably the most comprehensive and encompassing prophecy. It has been referred to as the key to all Bible prophecy. If you understand the prophecy given at the end of this chapter and the frame work which is laid out, then you're going to have an insight and understanding to everything God has to say in prophecy in the Word of God. Prophecy is God predicting the future with absolute accuracy. We have already seen that is exactly what God has revealed to Daniel in several key passages in this book of Daniel. Before we...
Daniel: The Grace to Say No!
by Miles Seaborn
"But they could find none occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful." INTRO. For many years, the story goes, the pastor delivered his sermons seek by week for exactly 20 minutes. He wore no watch and there was no clock in the auditorium. Yet his delivery required precisely 20 minutes, no more, no less. At last the inevitable happened. One Sunday, the 20 minutes came and went and the pastor continued preaching. Thirty minutes, forty minutes elapsed and on he went. Eventually, after more than one hour, the pastor closed his message which had been - the conclusion which had been prompted...
Daniel: Choosing to Stand Alone
by Dr. J. Vernon McGee
We know more of the personal history and the private life of Daniel than we do of any of the other prophets. He is introduced to us as a teenage boy, probably 15 to 17 years of age, when he was carried away as a captive and transplanted from his home in Israel to a foreign country, a heathen land. For over sixty years he lived in that dissolute court and pagan environment into which he'd been taken with all of its spiritually deadening influences. He walked with royalty, and he did so with dignity and with purpose amidst a licentious and rakish court and society of that day. He became prime minister of two world governments...

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.
