God’s Courage to Daniel

Daniel and the lions’ den is a story that many of us have heard since childhood. We’ve been taught that Daniel obeyed God instead of the king and his men, and Daniel was delivered from the mouths of lions. Have you considered, however, what led to Daniel’s obedience and all the implications of how the story plays out? In this lesson, Dr. Thomas explains the opposition, obedience, deliverance, and triumph of Daniel.
