A Vision and Spiritual Warfare, Part 1

Daniel 10
On a mission trip in Uganda, Dr. Reeder witnessed an awareness of spiritual warfare that is absent in much of the American church. One believer said, “Pastor Reeder, you all are involved in spiritual warfare – it’s just that we know it and you don’t.” Christians in our nation may think we are in a culture war – but actually, this is just a reflection of the spiritual war that involves every Christian in the world.

Daniel's Seventy Weeks, Part 2B

Daniel 9:20-29
If you are fascinated or confused by Daniel's vision of the 70 weeks – stay tuned. The decree of King Cyrus of Persia to allow the Israelites to return to Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the temple, the coming and Messianic ministry of Jesus Christ, the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD … all of these events of history correspond to the 490-year time frame of Daniel's 70 weeks.

Greeting One Another

Daniel's Seventy Weeks, Part 1B

Daniel 9:20-29
Daniel received a divine vision regarding 70 weeks decreed for his people and their holy city – Israel and Jerusalem.

Daniel's Seventy Weeks, Part 2A

Daniel 9:20-29
People foolishly turn to fortune tellers, horoscopes, and astrology to find out about the future – but Daniel turned to the Lord in fervent prayer, confession of sin, and intense petition and intercession for his nation, and the Lord gave him wisdom, understanding, and insight concerning future events. Our prayer lives should reflect Daniel's spirit of humility, repentance, and intercession.

Daniel's Seventy Weeks, Part 1A

Daniel 9:20-29
Christians rejoice to see God answer our prayers and the prayers of other believers. But you have probably not experienced an answer to prayer quite like Daniel did. God responded to Daniel's heartfelt cry by sending the angel Gabriel with an extraordinary message of divine wisdom, insight, and revelation.

With Daniel in the School of Prayer, Part 2

Daniel 9:1-19
In a time of national crisis, Daniel didn't throw up his hands in despair – he went to his knees in prayer. Daniel fervently prayed for God to graciously bring His nation and people to repentance, so they would turn to the Lord for mercy and blessing, and avert the divine judgment that their sins deserved. How can we learn to follow Daniel's pattern of powerful prayer?

With Daniel in the School of Prayer, Part 1

Well, today we find ourselves with Daniel in the school of prayer, as we go to chapter 9 of his book and examine the remarkable and powerful prayer of this faithful and influential Old Testament servant of God.

Easter Changes Everything

1 Corinthians 15
People may say, "There are many great spiritual leaders throughout history, and many different religions in the world. What’s so special about Jesus Christ and Christianity?” You could simply reply, "The tomb is empty!" The Resurrection sets Jesus Christ apart from any other religious and spiritual leader in history, and sets Christianity apart from any other religion or system of spiritual beliefs.

The Time of the End, Part 2

What is the meaning of this amazing vision of the little horn that grows in size and power?
