Book of the Bible: Daniel
SERIES MAIN POINT: Daniel influenced the king because his main influence was the King of Kings.
Series Main Scriptures: Daniel 1-6, 1 Timothy 4:12, & 2 Corinthians 4:8
Series Overview: Our culture is obsessed with influencers. How we dress, what we buy, even often what we do and say is impacted by influencers. In this series we will ask students to reflect on who is influencing them and who should be their #1 influence. In this series we will also encourage students that they are not too young to make a difference and be positive influencers pointing those around them to Jesus. Through studying how Daniel and his friends handle some ridiculously hard situations we will learn how we can trust God is in control, our strength, and our King. As we learn about Daniel and his friends we want to emphasize that God is the hero of this story, not these 4 young men. They are an inspiration for us that points us to God’s goodness and greatness. God is our hero. Daniel and his friends were young, in a country that did not honor God, and we can get insight from how to live as God as our #1 influencer and our King.
