Daniel 1 - The Way of Honor

We often hear the Scripture in Acts 5:29 that says, "we must please God rather than man". And it is such a true, and even needed exhortation that the Church desperately needs in this pampered age of humanistic reasoning and catering to the demands of a culture. However, we as Christians are not called to be one-sided in our obedience, but rather to encapsulate and embody the full teaching of the Apostles, built on Christ as the cornerstone. For we are not just commissioned to please God, but to aim to please man AND God, if possible! In this sermon, we highlight how Daniel, just a youth who had been led into captivity to the pagan, and hedonistic Babylonian empire, would both respect and honor the kingdom that took him away from family, friends, and home. How would Daniel respond to his tyrannic rule while still resolving to honor God? Listen and find out, as this message is one that every Christian needs to hear!
