 Daniel

Part story, part prophecy, this book shows the amazing things which can happen when God’s Spirit lives in people willing to be used by Him.

Daniel chooses to live in a distinctive, faith-driven way. His faith is put to some extreme tests, and by showing this in practice, others come to recognise God at work.

In his reflections on this book, Mal Calladine takes a deep dive into the minds of prophets and what we can do with God’s inspiration. Whether or not we have a prophetic gift ourselves, God’s promises and power can move us to expect and work for a radically different world from the one we see right now.

‘Waiting for renewal’ by Jack Saunders - 5 March 2023

If you were expecting a big inheritance, how would it affect the way you live today? Jack Saunders looks at the hope promised to Israel through the prophet Jeremiah and asks what hope we might carry through our faith in Jesus now. People following Jesus who have expected movements of renewal typically pray and invest in making disciples, especially looking to equip young people. What can we learn from this that will help us to play our parts in God’s bigger plans for now and the future?

‘Encounters With God - Stories from the Old Testament, part 9 - Daniel’ by Bern Leckie - 31 July 2022

How can God make the impossible possible? Bern Leckie looks at how God used Daniel in impossible situations, giving him wisdom to make impossible choices and do impossible jobs. These are not really stories about how good Daniel was but how amazing God is. The way God gave “living water” and connections to his presence and principles to Daniel are also available to us because of Jesus. What impossible things do we need God to do for us and want God to do with us?
