9. Behind The Veil

Cornerstone West Los Angeles » Sermons

Daniel 8 records a vision of world empires clashing and God’s people suffering. This prophecy, written hundreds of years before the events took place, gave Daniel and his readers clarity for the chaos that was ahead of them—and it can do the same for us. God is at work even when things seem like they are falling apart. This makes you clear-eyed, firm footed, and warm-hearted as you walk through the chaos of life, looking forward to God’s eternal kingdom at the end.

Application Questions:

1. Do you tend toward being cynical or idealistic? How does Daniel 8 help you see things more clearly?

2. God is at work even when things are falling apart. How can that encourage you toward faithfulness and endurance in your own life?

3. Despite what’s going on around you, the love of God in Christ never changes. How can that keep your heart warm and joyful in the difficulties you face this week?
