The Story We Find Ourselves In, Daniel 1:1-7, Jan 14, 2018

Series: A People Planted

Date: Jan 14, 2018

-

A People Planted is a 10 week series looking at integral aspects of living out God’s mission in our time and in this place. By looking at the life of Daniel and the exile to Babylon together we’ll learn about living at the intersection of God’s plan & our troubled times. We'll dig into truths about our culture, the gospel, our beliefs and our conduct with the hope of being further equipped to live as faithful missionaries in a world that increasingly wants nothing to do with the God of the Bible.

What should we believe? Who do we need to be? What does it look like to faithfully follow Jesus on mission in St. Pete? We’ll cover these questions and more as we ask God to make us A People Planted in our city for his glory.

Daniel 1:1-7

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God. And he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and placed the vessels in the treasury of his god. Then the king commanded Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility, youths without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king's palace, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. The king assigned them a daily portion of the food that the king ate, and of the wine that he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king. Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah of the tribe of Judah. And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.
