The final stage of the J-curve is contentment. After Daniel was taken out of the lions' den, he experienced a season of peace and prosperity. But after King Cyrus took the throne, Daniel had to once again go through another J-curve of trial and tribulation to gain the king’s favor. In this lesson, we'll learn how every J-curve is linked to another J-curve, so we must always be spiritually ready for a new season of growth. *** Welcome, we are so glad you have joined us for our church online!

In this lesson, we'll learn about the power of praise and thanksgiving when God has performed even the smallest of miracles. *** Welcome, we are so glad you have ...

Daniel’s worst fear became reality when it was time for him to be thrown into the lions' den. This is the lowest stage of the J curve.

Daniel wasn’t the only Yahweh worshipper working for Darius. Other Jewish young men were enslaved with Daniel and served in the high court of Nebuchadnezzar and most likely in Darius' court as well. But after Darius had made the decree that no one could pray to anyone but him, there was no one other than Daniel who continued the sacred duty of praying towards Jerusalem for Israel. We know that it is often lonely to stand up for what is right. In this lesson, we will learn how God uses these t...

( Daniel 5:17-30 ) Nothing wrong with contentment, in fact it’s a scriptural command to be content in life for it keeps us from chasing after things we shouldn’t. With that said, contentment can also be problematic, especially when it causes us to settle when God doesn’t want us to settle. As great as it was for Daniel to be favored by Nebuchadnezzar, God had more in store for Daniel while in exile. When Persia unexpectantly conquered Babylon, Daniel had a new boss, Darius King of Persia. No ...
