Study Group Readings:
Stories from Daniel (Overcoming Love of Dominion) (2015):
This series covers the first six chapters of Daniel. This includes great stories such as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego’s courage in the face of the burning, fiery furnace, the handwriting on the wall, and Daniel in the lion’s den. In general, the topic is overcoming the love of dominion, represented by Babylon and its king, Nebuchadnezzar. We overcome this lust by the power of the Word, represented by the prophet Daniel.
Please read or listen to the daily readings before your Study Group meets. You can download them below or pick up printed copies at the church.
The Sunday church service at the beginning of each week will be on the same topic as the Study group. After Sunday you should be able to find a recording of the service under "Audio Sermons".
If you need to find a Study Group to join, contact the Pastor's office.
