Idaho Grace Sermon Podcast

We’re going to see that there is a difference between walking in darkness, living in habitual, rebellious sin, and sinful acts.  We’re also going to see that for every believer who thinks that they’re marked by failure, there is good news. Please turn to 1st John as Pr. Keith Waggoner kicks off a new sermon series.

Join Pr. Roe Dudley in Daniel 6 as he looks at the power, perspective, and posture of prayer.

This sermon from Daniel 5 presents the question: Do you live with a sense of eternal urgency or earthly complacency? Please join Pr. Edgar Nunez as he continues the Dare to Be series. 

As we jump into Daniel 4, it's important to note something unique: this is the only chapter in the Bible written by a pagan king.  It’s King Nebuchadnezzar’s personal account of how Yahweh intervened in his life, humbling Nebuchadnezzar before God brought about transformation and restoration. 

It’s been said every person has a price — that given the right offer, the right pressure, or the right threat, even the strongest convictions can crumble. Maybe it’s wealth. Maybe it’s acceptance.  Maybe it’s safety. Today we meet three men who showed Babylon — and us — that some convictions aren’t for sale at any price. 

Jesus Christ is the stone the builders rejected, but he has now become the cornerstone for a whole new world.  If you understand Jesus in those ways, you can live a life like Daniel.  Dare to be a Daniel, a real Daniel.  Not the self-made, self-reliant person that we strive to be, but the God-saved, God-reliant person Jesus died to make us be. 

The example of Daniel teaches us to not blame God for our pain but to run to Him in faith in the midst of it. We are living in Babylon, this world, in the midst of an invisible system that is opposed to God. What should be our response?

Join Pastor Keith as he lays the foundation for a new series in Daniel and establishes a key theme of defying the world, just as Daniel defied Babylon. Daniel’s story in Babylon begins with an early resolution: I’m not going to defile myself. Dare to be a Daniel!

The parable we are about to examine today is sobering. More than sobering, it is a wake-up call for people who are on the fast track toward eternal devastation. Please join Pastor Keith in Luke 16 as he wraps up the Moral of the Story series.

Here’s my message for prodigals and Pharisees: You can come home. You can come in. Come to your senses. Prodigals, look around at where you sin has taken you, what it’s taken from you. Pharisees, look at what your self-justification has done to you. The irritation, the hard heart, the critical spirit, the anger at sinners. You have a father who is not abusive, hard to please, or distant. You have a Father who runs with arms wide open.
