#1 “In not Of”

Daniel 1

These questions are based on Daniel 1 and the sermon preached on 11/1/26 at Crossroads Church in Turlock, CA.

Please don’t feel the need to get through all the questions. The goal is not to get through all of them, but rather to have a meaningful time of discussion and encouragement.

Read Daniel 1 

1.What stood out to you most from the sermon or any of the Bible passages from Sunday?

2. Read vs.1-2. Is there anything about how God orchestrated these events that leaves you with questions? Is it hard for you to see God’s goodness in these circumstance? If so, why? If not, why not?

3. Read Isaiah 39:1-7. This is a prophecy that was 100 years old before Daniel 1. What do we learn about God from the prophecy and the fulfillment? What are some ways to apply what we see here to our lives?

4. How can not believing that God is in total control of all things, impact your daily life? How about when life gets hard?

5. Read Daniel 1:3-7; Romans 12:2. What are ways you see the culture/world trying to “conform” people? How can you avoid being “conformed” and be “transformed” instead?

6. Pray for each other’s needs. Pray that Crossroads Church would truly be “In not Of” for the glory of God and the good of the world.
