In this message from Daniel 2, “Living in Exile: The Eternal Kingdom,” we walk through Nebuchadnezzar’s troubling dream, Daniel’s calm trust in God, and the towering statue that crumbles before a stone “cut without hands.” We’ll see how this vision points to Jesus Christ and His unshakable Kingdom, why every earthly power ultimately falls, and how believers today can live as faithful exiles—calm, prayerful, steadfast, and calling others to repentance and new life in Christ.

In today’s message, we launch a new sermon series through the Book of Daniel called “Living in Exile.” Most of us know the famous stories — Daniel in the lions’ den, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace. But Daniel is far more than a collection of dramatic deliverances. It is a book about faithfulness in a world that has forgotten God, a book for people who feel displaced, pressured, and surrounded by a culture that does not share their convictions.

In Daniel 1 we meet four young men taken from Jerusalem into the heart of Babylon — a land of pagan power, deep idolatry, and aggressive re-education. Yet in that foreign place, far from home, they discovered that God still reigns, and that His people can still live faithfully even when the world presses in to reshape them.

This episode explores Babylon’s strategy to “re-make” the people of God, Daniel’s courageous resolve not to defile himself, and the surprising way God honors obedience in the midst of exile. Ultimately, Daniel’s story points us to the greater faithfulness of Jesus Christ, who empowers His people to stand firm today.

If you feel like a stranger in your own land, this message is for you.

Babylon doesn’t get the last word — Christ does.

As the decorations come down and the new year begins, many of us feel the pull toward fresh starts, routines, or resolutions. But what if our deepest purpose isn’t found in self-improvement — but in being about the Father’s business?

In this timely message from Luke 2, Pastor Christopher Enix explores the only glimpse Scripture gives us of Jesus’ childhood: His presentation in the temple as an infant and His remarkable stay in the temple at age twelve. Through the faithful lives of Simeon and Anna, the humble obedience of Mary and Joseph, and the young Jesus’ profound words — “Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” — we’re reminded that true fulfillment comes not from extraordinary moments, but from faithful devotion in the ordinary, all centered on glorifying and enjoying God.

Perfect for anyone seeking gospel-centered direction for the year ahead, this sermon calls us to prioritize God’s kingdom, treasure time in His presence and with His people, and live every day for the Father’s eternal business.

Listen now and start 2025 with your heart fixed on what matters most.
