Sermons on Daniel
God’s Mercy and forgiveness
Jeremy reads from Daniel 9:9 to point out two things about mankind and two things about God. We have rebelled against the holy God, meaning that we are deserving of His eternal judgement of sin. The good news of the gospel is that though God is holy, He shows mercy and forgiveness to those that repent of their sin, and put their trust in Jesus Christ for salvation.
Daniel 5: Self-Gratification
In this session, by examining the foolish conduct of Belshazzar, Jeremy warns us of the dangers of self-gratification. He also points out the accuracy of scripture by referring to prophecies in Jeremiah that refer to this particular passage. We also consider the preservation of God toward Daniel, in enabling him to outlast the Babylonians and hand over the kingdom to another.
Daniel 4: Self-Esteem
Jeremy examines the character of Nebuchadnezzar, whose understanding of the one true God reaches new heights in the fourth chapter of Daniel. We consider the power of God to raise up and bring low, while considering the dangers of unhealthy self-esteem which can make us proud, instead of giving glory to God. Crucially, Jeremy also directs attention to the grace of God shown to Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel 3: Self-Submission
In the second session of this series, Jeremy delivers an exhortation to submit to the will of God. He looks at the example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and their resilience in obeying the Lord, in refusing to bow the knee to the image. Jeremy draws out the practical implications for us, to present our bodies a living sacrifice.
Daniel 1: Self-Distinction
In this first session of a weekend of ministry, Jeremy Holifield gives practical ministry on the first chapter of Daniel. He draws insights and challenges for the believer, giving particular focus on the need to be distinct in a world that is contrary to God. Jeremy also brings to our attention exhortations from the New Testament that would also encourage practical sanctification and the importance for us not to conform to this world, but be transformed.
