“What Is Your Lion’s Den?”

God’s faithfulness to others should encourage us to trust in God more. As we study the passage of Daniel being thrown in the lion’s den, it’s not just to celebrate what God did then. These moments of God’s faithfulness in the past should motivate us to trust God in the present, even when things look dangerous or scary.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “What Is Your Lion’s Den?” (Daniel 6) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“God Our Father”

When you imagine your relationship with God, what comes to mind first? Throughout the Bible, the picture God uses is that of Father. In today’s teaching, we explore the love of the Father toward us and see how we can emulate that toward our own families.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “God Our Father” (Assorted Scriptures) by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“The Writing On The Wall”

Not every message is easy to share. In Daniel 5, a difficult message needed to be delivered. But with God’s empowering, we become able to share His message with boldness and authority.
 
Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “The Writing On The Wall” (Daniel 5)  by Pastor Raphael Giglio.


“Humbled and Honored”

What would our world look like if every political leader proclaimed humility before God and acknowledged His power? In Daniel 4, one of the most unlikely leaders does exactly that. Today’s teaching highlights the power God has to raise up and humble those He chooses.

“Standing Strong in a Wicked World

What do we do when following Jesus means walking alone? Where will we find strength to stand up for God when we are surrounded by wicked people? The book of Daniel helps answer those questions and much more.

“Greetings and Warnings”

The Bible calls us to unity, but it must be unity built on Jesus. In Romans 16, we see the large community that Paul valued as well as a strong warning against those that threaten the unity of the church.

“Israel and the Jewish People”

Jesus came as Messiah to fulfill the law and make a once-and-for-all atonement for all people. But this does not meant that the Jewish people are no longer chosen by God. In fact, they show that God’s covenant, oath, and promise are still very much intact.

Worship, Prayer and Teaching on “Israel and the Jewish People” (Romans



“His Will Is Not Always Your Will”

What happens when what we want is different than what God wants for us? In Romans 15, Paul faces that exact scenario. In today’s teaching, we learn that God’s plans are always good even if they do not align with ours.

“Faith Comes by Hearing the Word of God”
