I’m usually someone who disdains the type of message that I’m prepared to preach this morning. It’s not that there isn’t a place for this sort of theme, but it seems to me that some ministries are focused entirely on self-help or feel-good...

Praise for the Prayer-Answering God – Daniel 2:19-23There seem to be a lot of churches which try to stress the very admirable idea of worshiping God. Some of them have “Praise Teams,” “Praise Bands,” and “Praise Leaders.” In...

Like many of my messages, this sermon has three points. But I only intend to give you two of them this morning, saving the last for tonight. I suppose that I could have a single title for both segments, but we have another for this evening – “Daniels...

We are beginning, this morning, a study of the Book of Daniel, which I hope will appeal to all of us. This is a very special kind of book. It is filled with important eschatology – declarations about the work and the coming of the Messiah. But while it looks...
