About this series
As followers of Jesus we are called to make a difference in this world, and the only way to do that is to stand out. But how do we stand out in the right ways, at the right times, and for the right reasons in a world that makes is so hard to blend in?
In this five-part series we look at five stories from the Old Testament book of Daniel and learn how to Stand.

No matter who you are there are seasons of life filled with pain and heartache. Sometimes we call these times times of "fire". Often we can't see past the flames, but when we're in the middle of the fire God is doing things we never could imagine, and if we can have the strength to stand firm in the fire our lives will never be the same.
At moments in our life of prayer and faith, it can feel as though no one is listening, our prayers are not working and God is not responding. The truth is that God hears us from the first moment we pray, and He is at work even when we don’t see result yet. Stand Firm in Faith that God is at work! Keep praying and you will see Gods response in His timing.
Life as a follower of Jesus is not always easy. In fact, we should expect opposition when we're advancing God's Kingdom in this world. How can we have the faith to stand strong in the toughest of circumstances? This week we explore the story of Daniel and the Lion's Den to learn how.
There will be a time in your life when you have to stand up for what's right and confront someone you love because of how they are living. How can we do that in the right ways, at the right times, and for the right reasons? Today we learn from the story of Daniel confronting Nebuchadnezzar after he interprets a pretty crazy dream. By standing up, Daniel changes the heart of the King and (eventually) gets him on the right path.
