Pastor John Murphy’s sermon on Daniel 6 teaches that prayer is the true battleground of life, as Daniel’s lifelong habit of faithful prayer sustained him even under threat of death. It warns us not to put our hope in “weak kings” like politics, money, or relationships, but instead to trust God’s strength to deliver. Ultimately, Jesus is the true and better Daniel who faced the lions of sin, death, and Satan on our behalf, so we are called not to strive to be like Daniel but to trust the One who delivers us.
