Daniel Chapter 2: Sermon Notes and Discussion Questions

2020-05-03-Daniel-2-Sermon-Large

Pastor Derek continued in our Control in the Midst of Chaos: A Study of the Book of Daniel series by taking us through Daniel Chapter 2. In Part Two, we found comfort that God Knows the Future.  Daniel's life as detailed in Daniel 2:1-49 reveals how God's wisdom, sovereignty, and power can affect our view of the people and circumstances in our lives.  We may not know the future, but the God who loves us does. Because of that, we can trust Him.

You can watch the sermon and download the adult study guide and children's sermon notes and coloring pages at Control in Chaos: God Knows the Future.

Daniel Chapter 2 Sermon Outline

How does God want us to live in these chaotic times?


Only God can overcome human limitations, so be humble.
Daniel 2:1-3, Daniel 2:10-13


Only God can help us in the most difficult times of life, so pray and praise Him.
Daniel 2:14-23

Only God knows the future, so trust Him.
Daniel 2:24-28, Daniel 2:44-49


Application

When you don’t know the future do you pray and praise or argue and negotiate?

If God is the only one who can reveal truth, what is God saying to you during this time?

Daniel Chapter 2 Small Group Discussion Question

Pray – That the message of Daniel would encourage our hearts in this scary time (Covid19) and that we would trust Him in all circumstances.

Briefly review the sermon outline. Have people read aloud a few of the Scriptures covered and explain why they are important and meaningful.


Discuss

  1. What can we learn from Daniel's example on how to react during a personal crisis (verses 14-18)?
  2. What do verses 19-23 tell you about how to respond to answered prayer?
  3. What aspects of God's character are emphasized in the above verses? In verses 27-30, what aspects of God’s character does Daniel share with King Nebuchadnezzar?
  4. At various times in life, we might feel we are powerless to our circumstances. How should knowledge of God's wisdom, sovereignty, and power affect our view when we feel powerless?
  5. Daniel showed spiritual maturity in how he responded in times of chaos and crisis. Consider his wisdom in response to a crisis, his prayer in response to a problem, and his praise in response to God's faithfulness and power. How can Daniel's example help you grow in one of these areas?

Join us for our online church service next Sunday at 9:30 am as we look at Daniel Chapter 3.
