Daniel Learns About His Vision – Brother Jonah Lowrance – Daniel 7:17-28 Brother Jonah continues in his expository message series on the book of Daniel with the latter half of Daniel, Chapter 7. In this chapter, we see the prophecy of the coming kingdoms of the world, and the establishment of the everlasting Kingdom of Christ. We also learn that the spirit of antichrist is always at work but will never ultimately prevail over the Kingdom of Christ.
Divisions • 1st Corinthians 1:10-16 – Elder Bryce Lowrance The Church at Corinth was a miracle of the Lord Jesus Christ but, like most churches, it had problems. Paul shows this church that the source of all their problems was that they were divided. These cliques were teaching different things and practicing different things. This made it easy for error in doctrine, practice, and discipline to get a foothold in the church. Contrary to liberal Biblical thinkers, doctrine does not divide. Incorrect doctrine, like that being taught at Corinth, divides. But the true doctrine of the finished work of Jesus Christ is the only thing that can unite the children of God in a church.

God’s View of World History • Daniel 7 – Brother Jonah Lowrance – The visions that Daniel sees concern the same subject of the dreams in Chapter 2. In chapter 2, we had man’s view of the rise an fall of the empires of man from Babylon to Rome. In Chapter 7, we see the same historical events from God’s perspective. In this message, Brother Jonah explains the first 3 beasts seen in Daniel’s vision, and he reminds us that Christ’s kingdom is established and He will conquer all His enemies.
Sosthenes Our Brother • 1st Corinthians 1:1 – Elder Bryce Lowrance In this introductory message to the 1st Corinthian letter, Elder Lowrance takes us back to the founding of the church at Corinth as recorded in Acts, Chapter 18. One of the main reasons that the Apostle Paul wrote this letter to the Church at Corinth is because they were divided on many issues including, race, doctrine, practice, and church discipline. Sosthenes was the chief ruler of the synagogue when they unbelieving Jews tried to have Paul kicked out of Corinth. Obviously, sometime later Sosthenes was changed by the Lord and became a believer and supporter of the Apostle Paul. He mentions Sosthenes in the opening sentence of this letter to show that men can forgive, be reconciled to one another, and live in harmony.

Daniel in the Den of Lions • Daniel 6 – Brother Jonah Lowrance – Brother Jonah takes us through the sixth Chapter of Daniel where Darius is tricked into having his best helper thrown into a den of lions. But God, through His providence overrules the acts of these wicked men and they, and their families, end up in the pit instead!
God’s Word vs. Man’s Word • Psalm 12 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Elder Lowrance takes us through a Psalm that could have been penned today. The current “woke” culture that pervades our society has set the stage where no true discussion happens. Everyone talks at or about others but never to them. Lies have become the norm. But God’s word is true. God promised to deliver His children from the vane lies of the wicked, and He has proven trustworthy in that He preserved His written word for us all these generations.

The Song of the Slandered Saint • Psalm 7 – Elder Bryce Lowrance – One of the most hurtful things the devil uses against the Lord’s people are rumors and slanderous conversations. David teaches us how to properly handle these situations. Rather than whining to everyone by voice or on social media, we should take the case to the only One Who can handle it properly, the Lord. When we appeal to the righteous God of heaven, we are asking for help from One Who cares and is ready to judge His enemies and ours.
Belshazzar’s Feast • Daniel 5 – Brother Jonah Lowrance – In this message, Brother Jonah traces the history of the fall of Babylon through prophecy and secular history. In this, we learn that God keeps His promises and overrules the kingdoms of men in His time. God will ultimately bring down spiritual Babylon when Jesus returns to take us to be with Him forever.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Experience • Daniel Chapter 4 – Brother Jonah Lowrance Nebuchadnezzar was the most powerful king on earth during his day, but he tried to take credit for all the wonders of Babylon. God spoke to him through a dream, and then humbled him to spend 7 years as a beast of the field. At the end of his chastisement, Nebuchadnezzar makes one of the greatest claims of the power of God in all of scripture “all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?”
The W’s of Evangelism • Colossians 4:5-6 – Elder Bryce Lowrance After Paul teaches the church to pray for an open door for him to ably preach the gospel, he instructs the church how its members ought to live their daily lives. They are to act as God’s children toward them that are WITHOUT the church. In doing this, they are to WALK in WISDOM with their words being WITH grace, seasoned WITH salt. They are to make the most of every moment to glorify God and promote the kingdom of Christ.

The New Nebuchadnezzar • Introduction to Daniel Chapter 4 – Brother Jonah Lowrance After a review of the character of Nebuchadnezzar and the attributes of God in the first three chapters, Brother Jonah shows us that something is now different about Nebuchadnezzar. In this preview, we find that Nebuchadnezzar himself will give an account of how God dealt with him directly.
How Do We Pray for the Ministry? • Colossians 4:2-4 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Continuing on the theme from the previous message that prayer is the powerhouse of the church, Elder Lowrance teaches how we should be praying for our ministers to have opportunities to share the gospel and be blessed to share it effectively. The focus of our prayers should be the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ in our communities.

Let the Word of Christ Dwell in You Richly • Colossians 3:16 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Paul’s charge to us in Colossians, Chapter 3 is to live our lives like the born-again children we are. I order to do this, we must put away the desires of the things of the world and live our lives in charity for others. This behavior is blessed by the peace of God. But how do we become more devoted in this endeavor? Paul says that the word of Christ should dwell in us, and the key to making that happen is the singing of quality hymns that are filled with the wisdom of the Bible.
The Trial by Fire • Daniel 3 – Brother Jonah Lowrance The next chapter after the Chaldeans were spared by the wisdom of Daniel, those same men seek to destroy Daniel’s three friends. In this intense adventure, we see how we are to act when faced with persecution and trial. We are not to cower away and be depressed. We are to take courage that God has promised that He will be with us. Even in our deepest trial, Jesus is with us in the fire.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream • Brother Jonah Lowrance Brother Jonah preaches from the second half of Daniel, Chapter 2 where Daniel has prayed to God for help in interpreting the dream of the king. Daniel gives glory to God and then explains that there will be four major kingdoms in the earth that will ultimately be replaced by an everlasting kingdom ruled by the Rock not made with hands. What Is Your Passion? • Colossians 3:1-13 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Since we have been raised to newness of life by the power of Christ’s resurrection from the dead, we are now dead to the power of sin. Further, we have been called and given power to live a different lifestyle than before. Our old man loves itself and wants to please itself. We are called to put off the old man and put on the new man that seeks to love and help others.

Living and Praying in Babylon • Brother Jonah Lowrance & Elder Bryce Lowrance Brother Jonah ably presents the way we ought to live in a world that is against us by showing what Daniel and his friends did when facing adversity in Daniel, Chapter 2. Daniel prayed and immersed himself in church fellowship while waiting on the Lord to answer and help. Elder Bryce continues with the same theme in 1st Timothy, Chapter 2 and reminds us that it our duty to pray for our leaders and all those in authority over us. This is not so that they we get our way politically, but that we may continue to worship freely.
