The Rebel and a Lion

Sermon Notes:

To be a Daniel:

1. Starts with inner conviction.
2. Conviction turns to outer action.

As a Daniel:

1. When you stand for God, God stands with you.
2. When you are faithful to God, you are a witness to the world.

Follow up questions from Sunday:

Icebreaker:  What is your favorite animal in the zoo and why?

1. Read Daniel Ch. 6 and share what impresses you the most about Daniel in this chapter.
2. When did you first make up your mind to follow Jesus and why?
3. How has following Jesus affected how you live your life and have you ever been persecuted for it?
4. Read Daniel 6:4. Why do you think it is so hard for people in government to be these things?  What keeps you from standing up for the things you believe in?
5. Pray “the rebel’s prayer” for each other and our brothers and sisters in government as we all seek to meet know and follow Jesus in this world.

Father give me the wisdom to know the right thing to do and the courage to do it.
