APPLY

  1. a. What is faith?

    b. How does trusting God affect how we behave?

  2. Daniel remained devoted to God through his spiritual practices even when it became inconvenient and dangerous. Why is it important to pray, meditate on Scripture, practice sabbath, etc. as our lives become busier and the world seems more “hostile” toward Jesus?

  3. Daniel 6 is a story of the relationship between human agency and God’s sovereignty, or put another way: human faithfulness toward God and God’s faithfulness toward His people. How can we grow in trusting God’s sovereignty and faithfulness while taking tangible acts of faith? How does the person and work of Jesus help us to do both?

PRAY

Pray for greater faith in Jesus

Pray for the needs of each other and for our city
