Suffering Saints and God's Global Glory
What is the purpose of your life? For nine weeks we’ve walked with Daniel and his friends through exile, pressure, injustice, and cultural hostility. And Daniel chapter 6, we find an elderly prophet who refuses to compromise even when faithfulness leads to certain death. Why? Because Daniel knew what he was living for! In this sermon, Pastor Jamison explores how God calls His people to visible and costly faithfulness, how He preserves and vindicates those who trust Him, and how He advances His global glory through the suffering of His saints. If you’ve ever wondered whether your suffering has purpose, whether faithfulness is worth the cost, or whether God is still at work in the dark, then this sermon is for you!

From Series: "Daniel: Countering Culture"
What does faithfulness look like when the culture around you no longer shares your values, or even actively opposes them? The first six chapters of the book of Daniel tell the story of God’s people living as exiles in Babylon: pressured to conform, tempted to compromise, and threatened for their loyalty to the Lord. Through the lives of Daniel and his friends, we see what it means to remain faithful in a hostile culture without retreating from it. Daniel shows us that faithfulness is not loud rebellion nor quiet compromise, but steadfast trust in a sovereign God who rules over kings, kingdoms, and history itself. This sermon series calls us to ask not just "what do we believe?" But "how will we live when our beliefs are tested?"
