THEME
“The Book of Daniel”. The Old Testament book of Daniel, though written 2500 years ago, speaks powerfully to us today in a unique and amazing way! From the example of Daniel and his friends standing firm in their faith despite living in a hostile culture; to the revealing of God’s prophetic plan for the future, the Book of Daniel not only resonates with the challenges we face in our world today; but it encourages and equips us to face those challenges with strength for today and great hope in God’s plans for tomorrow!
So join us we journey through the book of Daniel, from the fiery furnace and the lion’s den, to the vision of the four beasts and the seventy weeks prophecy - and may the Lord encourage us all through the teaching of Hs Word!
