As I noted in a few blog posts back, today's sermon was on Daniel chapter 2. The topic has to do with humankind's search for answers, meaning, purpose, solutions to improve the chances for a better future for one's self.
This week, one of the daily e-mails from Christianity Today contained some thoughts on a recent bestseller by the title of The Secret. I think nearly everyone in the world wants to know the secret to a successful life, and so throughout history there have been any number of religions, philosophies, disciplines, etc. that have claimed to provide that secret.
The story of Daniel 2 is about a king who appears to have been seeking the secret to a secure kingdom. He was worried about what would come to pass in his future. Through his questions and insecurities, the God of Heaven shows Himself to be the Revealer of Mysteries -- the one who holds the answers to all of life's questions. Through Daniel, the king sees a foggy glimpse of the secret to a successful and secure future. This sermon explores ways in which this ancient story is still relevant to us today.
