Sermon Talks
- Read Daniel 2:31-49 as you prepare to work through the sermon talks.
- What is one of the strangest dreams you have had? What made it so strange?
- How did Daniel speak to Arioch and King Nebuchadnezzar with authority? What are examples of ways we can speak with authority as followers of Jesus?
- How did Daniel speak with humility? How can we speak with humility?
- Why is humility so important in the Christian life?
Consider the following verses: Proverbs 22:4, Micah 6:8, Matthew 23:12, Galatians 5:13, Philippians 2:3-4, Colossians 3:12, James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5-6.
- After Daniel interpreted the dream, why do you think King Nebuchadnezzar was so quick to believe him?
- What are some things we can do to help us speak with Biblical accuracy?
- As followers of Jesus, how can we speak with victory? How can we better live our lives knowing that we are fighting from the victory of the cross?
- After Daniel finished interpreting the dream, King Nebuchadnezzar was in awe of God but not necessarily transformed (v. 47). What is the difference between acknowledging God’s power and actually submitting to His rule in your daily life?
- Talk about the symbolism of the statue. What is the significance of the “rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands?”
- Read and discuss Isaiah 9:6-7, Habakkuk 2:4, and Luke 1:33 as it relates to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
- How does the promise of a “kingdom that will never be destroyed” (v. 44) give you comfort in today’s world? How should this future reality change your priorities this week?
- Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in a time of prayer. Begin by praising God for who He is and what He has done in your life.
