Thriving in Babylon

Based on Larry Osborne's book "Thriving in Babylon," this 9-week sermon series explores how Christians can not only survive but actually thrive in an increasingly godless culture. Meet a man forced to live in a fast changing and godless society. He faced fears about the future, concern for his safety, and the discouragement of world that seemed to be falling apart at warp speed. Sound familiar? His name was Daniel, and with the power of hope, humility, and wisdom, he not only thrived, he changed an empire while he was at it. Through the "adult" story of Daniel, we'll discover why panic and despair are never from God, how genuine humility disarms even our greatest enemies, and how wisdom can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. In this series, we'll learn that traditional biblical values may be rejected and attacked on every front in our rapidly changing world, leaving many Christians spiritually and culturally disoriented, fearful, frustrated, and angry. But Daniel's example shows us that even when culture shifts dramatically around us, we can stand firm in our faith while loving others well, proving that with hope, humility, and wisdom, we can influence and impact our modern-day Babylon for God's glory.
