Truth for all ages

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.

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.

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.

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.
