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...
The Lost Art of Fasting (3 of 4)
by Ernest Easley
All right ... now that we've enjoyed a good meal ... I want to talk to you tonight about the lost art of Fasting! Last week we learned that there are several kinds of fasting. For instance .. there is a Normal fast. That's when you abstain from food for a certain amount of time. There is also a Partial Fast. That's when your fast is limited to certain kinds of food. Then there is an Absolute Fast. That's when you refuse food and drink. Then there is a Corporate Fast. That involves a group of believers. And then there is a National Fast ... when an entire nation fasts. We then learned that a fast can be for one day ... one night ... three days...
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...
Decisions! Decisions! (3 of 18)
by Jerry Vines
Life is a series of decisions. What you are today, to a large degree is based upon the decisions you have made in the previous days. What you will be in the future will be determined largely by the decisions you make in your life today. Have you ever thought about it? Most of the life-determining decisions are made when you are young? Think about that for a moment. Most people receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior when they are young. You make decisions concerning who will be your friends when you are young. Normally you will pick who is going to be your life's mate when you are young. The vocation you...
Daniel: Courageous Living in Turbulent Times
by Robert Walker
Perhaps the most contemporary book in the old Testament is the book of Daniel. It has its beginning as far as its historical content is concern in about 616 b.c. Daniel remains in Babylon until about 546 B.C. When the book opens it opens with Jerusalem having been seized and Judah in captivity to Babylon. In order to really understand the meaning of the book of Daniel we must understand one of its principle character. Nebuchadnezzar is a famous king in history. He is known as a great general. He was best known for his military exploits. He defeated the Egyptians as Carchemish which is one of the great battle...
What's Eating You?
by Thomas Swope
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the articles of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.3 Then the king instructed Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring some of the children of Israel and some of the king's descendants and some of the nobles, 4 young men in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing...
When to Say No (1 of 6)
by Jeff Schreve
It was in 1920 when a man named Harry Dickson Loes wrote a children's song. He had no idea how popular it would be, but it became super popular. It was a big hit. It's still a big hit today. Debbie and I when our kids were little taught our kids this song written by Harry Dickson Loes. It has hand motions with it. It says, "This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine." Anybody remember that song? Did you do the hand motions to that song? You have to put your light up. We'd tell the girls, "Now, okay, we're going to sing this song. Get your light up." And so it's, "This little light of mind, I'm going to let it shine. I'm not going to hide it...
Difficult Decisions with Daniel (1 of 14)
by Donald Cantrell
This sermon contains a fully alliterated sermon outline on Daniel 1 Theme: ''Daniel was committed from the very beginning''Introduction: BILLY GRAHAM: CHOICES Billy Graham said, ''The strongest principle of life and blessings lies in our choice. Our life is the sum result of all the choices we make, both consciously and unconsciously. If we can control the process of choosing, we can take control of all aspects of our life. We can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of our life. So start with what is right rather than what is acceptable. 'If you don't make a decision, then time will make it for you, and time will always...
You Are What You Eat (1 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
I read the true story about a wife who liked to make sure she had meals ready to cook. She made ''freezer meals'' ahead of time and carefully noted what they were in large clear letters. There was ''Meatloaf'', ''Pot Roast'', ''Steak and Vegetables'', ''Chicken and Dumplings'' or ''Beef Pot Pie.'' But whenever she asked her husband what he wanted for dinner he didn't asked for those things So, she said she decided to stock the freezer with things he really liked. Now, if you look in her freezer, you'll see a whole new set of labels. You'll find dinners with neat, legible tags that say: ''Whatever''''Anything''''I Don't Know''''I Don't Care...
Daniel: The Key To All Bible Prophecy (36 of 54)
by Stan Coffey
DATE AND BACKGROUND: Events contained in Daniel's prophecy span the time period of 650BC to the third year of the reign of Cyrus 535BC. The book is chiefly about the man Daniel and his message. Daniel, the man, stands out uniquely among the great characters of the Bible. There are other good men in the scriptures, but none quite like Daniel. Possibly some of Daniel's spiritual fortitude could be attributed to the fact that Daniel was born and reared during the great spiritual awakening under the good and godly King Josiah. THEME: A dual theme in Daniel features: 1. The providence of God among His faithful people even in exile....
The Decision of Youth
by Jerry Vines
Life is a series of decisions. Every day of your life you live on the basis of the decisions that you make. You make literally hundreds of decisions every day. You decide what you are going to do that day. You make a decision about how your are going to respond or react to the things that come to you. Life, everyday of our life, is a series of decisions. What I am tonight is on the basis of the decisions that I made in my past. What I am going to be tomorrow will be determined by the decisions I make today. Life is a series of decisions. Interestingly enough most of the major decisions of your life are made while you are...
Dare to Be Different (1 of 7)
by Joe Alain
Introduction: Imagine being uprooted from your country, removed from your family, your culture, everything you know and transplanted to a foreign country where the language is different, the culture is different, even the faith is different. How would you live? What would you do? How would you survive? For Daniel and his friends, these were not hypothetical questions. But in the strange and foreign land of Babylon, God was still at work and he still had his faithful people, men like Daniel who dared to be different, who dared to put God first. The book of Daniel was very important at this time in Israel's history when it...
Why You Should Pray & Fast (2 of 3)
by Scott Maze
Many of you love to measure your progress. You can measure your progress in so many areas of your life. Tools are available to measure your Body Mass Index where you assess your body fat. You can measure your carbon footprint so to know your impact upon the climate. Athletes will measure the size of their biceps. You can even monitor your social media influence over the Internet. Yet, few Christians have a significant handle on how to measure their spiritual maturity. How do I measure myself in terms of my growth as a believer? Time-lapse photography will allow you to see physical growth over a span of years...
Daniel-the Man Who Lives Forever Because He Said No (13 Of 15)
by Clarence E. Macartney
An oriental king once summoned into his presence his three sons and set before them three sealed urns: one of gold, one of amber, and the third of clay. The king bade his eldest son to choose among these three urns that which appeared to him to contain the greatest treasures. The eldest son chose the vessel of gold on which was written the word, ''Empire.'' He opened it and found it full of blood. The second chose the vase of amber whereon was written the word, ''Glory,'' and when he opened it he found it full of the ashes of men who had made a great name in the world. The third chose the vessel of clay, and on the bottom of this vessel...
Fasting: Hungry for God (5 of 5)
by Bob Ingle
Open your bibles to Matthew 6. Would it be fair to say that Americans are pretty obsessed with food? Would that be an accurate statement? I got a few pictures to prove it (show). Hungry yet? I mean we love food don't we? We even name cities after food. There's Two Egg, Florida. There's Bacon, Delaware. There's a town called Pancake, Texas. There's Toast, North Carolina. There's even Jelly, California. You've got yourself breakfast right there. For most of us, food is our passion. It's our obsession. It's our fixation. We live to eat rather than eat to live. We spend countless hours every day thinking about food, shopping for food, cooking food, eating our food, complaining about our...
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...
Fasting - Hungry for God (6 of 7)
by Roger Thomas
Today we come to the third of three illustrations Jesus uses to teach that motives matter to God. It is possible to do a good thing for the wrong reason. He outlines the principle in verse one. ''Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness before men,' to be seen by them.'' He first applies the principle to giving to those in need. Of course, sharing is good. Doing it to show off, however, doesn't impress God. The same principle applies to praying. The Lord wants us to pray. But he wants us to remember who we are praying to when we do. This is not just an old problem. I know that preachers and leaders who lead public prayer...
