Daniel 6 is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible — but have we misunderstood it? In Week 4 of our Loving Our City series, Grieg takes us deep into Daniel 6 and challenges the common Sunday School interpretation of the lions’ den. Is the message really: “Be faithful and God will protect you from suffering”? What about when He doesn’t? This sermon wrestles honestly with suffering, faith, control, identity, and what it means to live faithfully in a pluralistic society.
- Why does God close lions’ mouths for some and not for others?
- What does Daniel teach us about suffering and refining faith?
- How do we live publicly faithful lives in today’s culture?
- What does it mean to live as a “Royal Priest” in God’s Kingdom?
