Daniel: The Cost of Discipleship

Outline

1. The Conflict (Daniel in Babylon,
   not of Babylon; favored and blessed
   by God)

2. The Cost (Paying the Price of
   Discipleship)

3. The Christ (see Matthew 16:24)
   Both Daniel and Jesus were turned
   over to be executed for their
   obedience to God

4. The Charge: Application

   a. God’s priority is His Glory;
   He will see us safely through
   b. Despite all circumstances, God
   is in control (see Hebrews 11);
   Persevere, Remain Faithful
   c. Daniel's greatest test came
   later in life
   d. The most powerful witness is
   when we're willing to pay the
   price for our faith. Where are
   you tempted to compromise?
   e. Our Great Salvation is built on
   nothing less than Jesus' blood
   and Righteousness
