    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 3, 2020
     | 5,681 views

    Belshazzar is "weighed in the balance and found wanting," while Daniel is strong in his faith in God. Our substance is found in the kingdom of God, as described in the Beatitudes and Sermon on the Mount.

    BEING A PERSON OF SUBSTANCE—Daniel 5 ***A few years ago, a best-selling book was titled, “The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook.” It gave advice from experts in a variety of fields, all telling “How to”: How to…fend off a shark, deliver a baby in a taxicab, jump from a moving car, survive if a ...read more

    Daniel 4: Overcoming Pride Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 3, 2020
     | 5,873 views

    Self-focused pride 1) causes anxiety, 2) leads to a fall, 3) can be redeemed through God-focused humility. We can humble ourselves by 1) recognizing God as sovereign, 2) crediting God for our abilities, and 3) directing our gifts to the good of others.

    PUTTING PRIDE IN ITS PLACE—Daniel 4 PRIDE. One of the “Seven Deadly Sins,” along with greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. But is it always bad? There is a kind of healthy pride, which values one’s abilities, celebrates achievement, and motivates positive behavior. Paul refers to ...read more

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 3, 2020
     | 5,646 views

    1) Play to the right audience (God), 2) Trust God for lasting security, 3) Commit to what is right. Neb is insecure, while Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego are secure in God!

    CONQUERING INSECURITY—Daniel 3 I wonder how many of us here this morning struggle with insecurity. Maybe you don’t feel good enough—attractive, competent, successful enough. Maybe you don’t feel that your opinions are valued—you are not respected, or you don’t have a lot of influence. Maybe you ...read more

     | 4,813 views

    God is in control, even when the world seems chaotic. Daniel handles a situation beyond his control with WISDOM and FAITH.

    WHEN LIFE SEEMS OUT OF CONTROL—Daniel 2 Does it sometimes seem like your life is out of control? Coronavirus. The national debt. Politics. Natural disasters. As a parent committed to your kids, you try to protect them and control their environment, but you can’t control all the people and ...read more

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 3, 2020
     | 5,693 views

    How can we thrive in an ungodly environment? 1) Stand up for who we are, 2) Excel in what we do. In exile, Daniel was excelled, without losing his identity.

    LIVING IN A STRANGE LAND—Daniel 1, 1 Peter 2:9-12 Read Daniel 1:1-20. ***My first days in a college dorm were a rude awakening, for a guy who had led a pretty sheltered life. Bob Dylan was blasting out, “Lay, Lady, Lay” on the stereo down the hall. (Yes, I am ancient!) The Beatles were singing ...read more

    Chosen For God's Eternal Purpose

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jul 20, 2020
     | 3,682 views

    Election--God's choice--for the purpose of bringing salvation to the world. Election, not as a theological term, but as Paul illustrates from OT people. Fulfill our purpose: to display God's glory and bring others to Christ.

    CHOSEN FOR GOD’S ETERNAL PURPOSE--Romans 9:1-26 ***Jimmy and Billy were brothers, born more than ten years apart. Jimmy seemed successful from an early age, graduating from the United States Naval Academy, and serving in the Navy before going home to the family business. Billy tried college, but ...read more

    WHAT ABOUT FAKE CHRISTIANS?—Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 Does it bother you when you see and hear prominent personalities act like God is their best buddy, while they live very ungodly lives?

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jul 2, 2020
     | 3,574 views

    Makes sense of Paul's comparison of living "by the flesh" or "by the Spirit." Analogy of corrupted computer operating system (inherited corruption/original sin). Focuses on living by the Spirit.

    Hell Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 11, 2020
     | 5,223 views

    What is hell? a) punishment, b) separation from God, c) ruled by evil. Why would God send people to hell? What should we respond to the reality of hell?

    HELL—Matthew 25:31-46 Last week, we talked about heaven, and this week, we talk about hell. Why talk about hell? It is not something we talk about with strangers, or even casual acquaintances.

    Grounded In Christ Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 9, 2020
     | 6,112 views

    Some miss the gate. Some lose their way, by false teaching, counterfeit spirituality, or not putting beliefs into practice. Some are grounded in Christ, and stand firm in the storms of life!

    Healthy Disciples: GROUNDED IN CHRIST—Matthew 7:13-27 Read Matthew 7:13-14. This is troubling. We know that many people in the world are not interested in eternal life with Christ as Lord and King, and that troubles us. Jesus implies, however, that many who claim to be Christians might not be ...read more
