Since September of last year, our church studied the book of Daniel. With a few interruptions, this series spanned sixteen weeks, looking at each chapter in Daniel, with a few focused studies along the way. As we walked through the chaotic period of the presidential election and its aftermath, Daniel served to be a great source of Christ-centered comfort all of us. And I share these sermons here in hopes that it might encourage you, if you choose to listen to these messages. 

As I shared in the introduction to the final sermon, this series was not intended to establish or eliminate any eschatological position regarding the millennium. Rather, it sought to see the sovereign rule of God in Christ from each historical narrative (Daniel 1–6) and apocalyptic vision (Daniel 7–12).  With that in mind, here are links to the sixteen sermons.

1. Dare to Be a Daniel (Remixed): Daniel 1
2. The Stone and the Statue: Seeking God’s Kingdom, Not Our Own Image (Daniel 2)
3. Canceled by Fire (Daniel 3) by Jared Bridges
4. To Be, Or Not To Be A Dragon (Daniel 4)
5. God with Us: A Message of Salvation and Judgement (Daniel 5)
6. Jesus and the Lion’s Den (Daniel 6)
7. The Son of Man Comes Around (Daniel 7)
8. The Ascension of Christ: How Christ’s Heavenly Reign Empowers Our Daily Lives (Daniel 7:13–14)
9. The Unbearable Weight of Knowing the Future vs The (un)Believable Hope of Knowing God (Daniel 8)
10. A Faithful God, A Man of Prayer, And a Better Kingdom (Daniel 9) by Rod Fillinger
11. Christmas and the Christ: How the Sovereign Enters His Story (Daniel 2:44–45; Luke 1:32–33)
12. The Great Res(e)t: What Jubilee Says about Christmas, the New Covenant, and the New Year (Leviticus 25)
13. From Jubilee to Jesus: Good News from a Debated Text (Daniel 9:24-27)
14. Angels Among Us, the Son of Man With Us (Daniel 10:1-21)
15. Finding Resurrection Life Amidst the Raging Waters of This World (Daniel 11:1–12:4)
16. The Beginning of the End: How God Gets Your Bones Out of the Grave and Into His Kingdom (Daniel 12:1–13)

In addition to these sermons, here are a few articles I wrote on Daniel along the way.

• An Invitation to the Book of Daniel: Neither Diet Plans, Nor Date-Setting, Nor Dares to Be Like Daniel, But Dreams, Dominion, and Resurrection from the Dead
• ‘Mystery’—Its Definition, Use, and Significance in Daniel and the Rest of the Bible

May these resources bless you and point you to the Son of Man who now reigns on high. As Daniel foretells, he will soon come and make all things new. That is our great hope, one that we always keep before us.
