(Daniel 8) (Series: Daniel)Daniel's vision of the ram with two horns and goat with one horn reveals the future events that lead to the story of Hanukkah. The main themes of Hannukah are 1) the messianic hope of deliverance; 2) Miracles; and 3) Dedication. Be wary of the evil one who will try to dilute the significance of Messiah's death, and will try to tear down the body of believers. Hold fast to your faith, maintain self-control, be humble, cast your anxieties on the Lord, always be alert.

(Ephesians 4:1-16)The body of believers is the visual manifestation of Yeshua ha Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah). His life should be expressed through us. Yeshua is Lord, the Head of the Body. We need to listen for our calling, learn our gifts for ministry, live in fellowship, unleash our testimony, and launch towards outreach.

(Luke 15:11-32)The parable of the prodigal son reveals the definition of salvation: We were lost, and then we were found. Even the 'second' son in the story is 'lost' in his self-righteousness. God, our father, invites all who are lost to come back home to Him. Believers need to remember how God redeemed us and brought us back. We rejoice in the blessing of salvation.

(Daniel 6) (Series: Daniel)Daniel's character shows his love for God as he continues his spiritual routine of praying in public view despite King Darius' decree prohibiting such behavior. Daniel trusts God's Word and prays for his people's return to Jerusalem. He trusts in God's sovereignty to deliver him from the den of lions. His enemies could not thwart the will of God, who promises to protect and defend His people.

(Daniel 5) (Series: Daniel)The writing on the wall at Belshazzar's party. Stolen vessels from Temple defiled. Belshazzar resists Daniel's message. God's judgment on Babylon. The effects of sin are not static, or momentary; sin is a process that destroys over time; sin makes us blind and deaf to God; sin will be judged.

(Daniel 4) (Series: Daniel)God is mighty to save. Nebuchadnezzar is punished for the sin of pride. If you look up high to God with joy, you will become more like Him; if you look to the things of the world, you will become like the world. Discipline is not meant to destroy, but to bring life, restoration, repentance, and to unite with God. Whatever we go through, God is always in control.

(Daniel 1:1-21) (Series: Daniel)The book of Daniel is not about people; it is about God's sovereignty. God is in control of all things, and we can trust Him to work out His plan.
