Michael Gilliver takes us through Daniel chapter 6 and how Daniel lived his life despite being under Babylon's rule. Daniel's life is a good example of how we should live in our current society: as ambassadors of God to our broken, needy world. And when any trouble that comes our way, we know God still has a plan because He has already conquered death itself and given us His victory.
Have you ever felt like life is unfair—that people are getting away with things, and justice seems nowhere to be found? In Week 3 of Light in the Dark: Thriving in Babylon, we dive into Daniel 5, where the infamous writing on the wall reminds us that God sees everything—every action, every word, every injustice. This truth is both sobering and deeply comforting: no one is escaping justice, and God will make all things right.
Sometimes, we need fresh eyes to see what we’ve been missing. In Daniel 4, God exposes the hidden cause of the darkness in our world and shows us how to shine his light into it.
When culture demands you bow to its idols, will you stand firm? Discover how Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego faced the fire and found God's presence with them. Learn how their story can inspire you to stand boldly in today’s world.
How do you stay faithful to God in a world that doesn’t share your values? In Daniel 1, we see how Daniel navigated life in Babylon—engaging with culture without compromising his faith. Learn how to draw boundaries, serve with excellence, and thrive in today's world.
We are designed by God himself to store up treasure —but the key question is what and where? In Matthew Jesus teaches that where our treasure is, our heart will follow, calling us to invest our treasures and hearts in God’s Kingdom rather than building our own.
