In today’s Advent reflection, we turn to Daniel 2—a moment in Israel’s darkest season of exile—where God reveals a kingdom that will outlast every earthly power. Even when the Davidic line looked broken and hope seemed lost, God was still working His plan to bring forth the eternal King: Jesus.
If you’re facing discouragement in ministry, unity feels impossible, or hope feels distant, this episode will remind you that God’s kingdom is unshakable and His purposes are never derailed.
Expect encouragement, Scripture insight, and a fresh sense of hope for this Advent season.
