    There is nothing new under the sun, and chasing pleasure will lead to emptiness, just like it always has. Join pastor Brian Pursley for his sermon on the first half of Daniel chapter 5. The Babylonian king was caught up in a cycle of pleasure, just like many rich and powerful people have been, but he is given a message from God. It's the literal writing on the wall, predicting his fate. Join us next week for Daniel's interpretation of this dramatic omen!

    "O King Nebuchadnezzar, change your ways, show mercy, and swallow your pride!" exclaims Daniel. Join pastor Brian Pursley for the dramatic conclusion of Daniel chapter 4. Do we, like Nebuchadnezzar, lose sight of the fact every good and perfect gift comes from God? Do we, in our pride, credit our own effort or ingenuity when things go well? It's easy to get caught up in self confidence when life is good, but we must desire God as much as we desire His blessings. Let us never take those blessings for granted.

    "If you do not worship, you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace. Who is the god who shall deliver you?" (Daniel 3:15) Join pastor Brian Pursley as he recalls the amazing testimony of three young men in Babylonian captivity. When we are faced with a moment like they were, torn between gaining favor with the world and doing what is right, how should we respond? These three men gave an excellent response, saying, "O king, we have no need to answer you in this matter. Our God is able to deliver us from the fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king." (Daniel 3:17)

    God's ways are so much greater than our ways. We become dependent on ourselves and our own abilities, and are driven by the idea that we have to reach our full potential. Join Pastor Brian Pursley as we investigate Jesus withdrawing himself away from everything in the wilderness for 40 days. Spend time praying within isolation. Create spiritual discipline, by finding a place where you can be in that isolation everyday. God frequently communicates with us, and sometimes it's very obvious. More often than not though, he is more subtle and whispers. Create a space where you can hear that.

    When you come upon an impossibility in life, keep this at the forefront of your mind: there is a God who can do the impossible. Join pastor Brian Pursley as he describes the One who can do that which is beyond all experts, professionals, and superheroes. No mystery is beyond God's understanding and no miracle beyond His power. What a blessing that we, His Church, can be counted among His children like Daniel was. Though he found himself in a hostile land, Daniel was never forsaken by God. And if God provided miraculously for His child in Babylon, He can provide for you today.

    May the chaos around us never dictate how we live our lives. Our life choices must be informed by God's Word and motivated by our faith in Him. Join pastor Brian Pursley as he emphasizes the importance of dependence on God in trying times. Like when Daniel faced great danger at the hand of the king's captain, we might face any number of physically or spiritually dangerous circumstances in our lives. Will you follow the example of Daniel, putting your faith in God, or will you fall away?

    Sometimes doing the right thing costs you. Sometimes evil wins. Sometimes the things we think turn out to be wrong. Sometimes the people we’re close to betray us. Sometimes we lose everything. Sometimes we get an opportunity we never dreamed we’d get. Sometimes people change. Sometimes God doesn’t seem fair. Join us for The Soul & Society as we explore the book of Daniel and focus on how to live no matter the circumstances we face and the principles we need to develop to honor God each and every day of our lives.
