to confront kings and the wisdomto wield divine truths. Gear up
(00:23):

moral conviction. Let's dive inand discover how these ancient
lessons can empower us to standup in our own lives.
Pastor Brandon Holm (00:37):
Greetings, noble adventurers and stellar
companions of the faith. Today,we continue our divine quest
through the epic series titledStand, where we journey deeper
into the realm of courage andconviction. Last week in our
sermon stand out, we exploredthe boldness required to be
distinct in our beliefs andactions in a world that often
(00:58):
pressures us to conform. Wediscussed how Daniel and his
friends stood out by adhering totheir faith and convictions,
admits the pressures ofBabylonian culture setting any,
you know, setting us for aprecedent to follow. So in this
message, we'll delve into thebook of Daniel some more.
We're heading to chapter four,and we're gonna uncover the
(01:21):
courage needed to stand up forrighteousness. It's akin to
bravery required in every one ofour RPG realms. And these
ancient scriptures that we'retalking about, you know, we find
Daniel not only a figure whostood out for his faith, but
also one who stood out to, youknow, stood up to power with
divine wisdom and humility. Solet us begin by invoking the
(01:44):
spirit of wisdom and truth toprepare our hearts to receive
the divine guidance thatempowers us to stand up where
the divine truths of our faithand build upon the foundation
laid in the last message, standout to face even greater
challenges. Remember, we're inthe land of Babylon, and King
Nebuchadnezzar had a dreamearlier.
(02:06):
But now the second dream isreally going to come into
fruition here. So kingNebuchadnezzar's second dream
consists of a mighty tree, whichprovide shade and sustenance yet
was commanded by a heavenlyvoice to be cut down, leaving
pretty much only a stump. Andthis really serves as a powerful
(02:27):
divine allegory. So this vision,which is detailed in Daniel
chapter four verses 10 through15, it envisions the tree
reaching the sky and was visibleto the ends of the earth,
signifying the humbling of thosewho failed to acknowledge the
divine the sovereignty of themost high. The visions of my
(02:49):
head that I lay in bed werethese, I saw and behold a tree
in the midst of the earth andits height was great.
The tree grew and became strongand its top reached to heaven,
and it was visible to the end ofthe whole earth. It leaves were
beautiful and its fruitabundant, and in it was food for
all. The beasts of the fieldfound shade under it, and birds
(03:12):
of the heavens lived in itsbranches, and all flesh was fed
from it. I saw in the visions ofmy head as I lay in bed and
behold a watcher, a holy onecome down from heaven. He
proclaimed aloud and said, thus,chop down the tree and lop off
its branches, strip off itsleaves and scatter its fruits.
Let the beasts flee from underit and the birds from its
(03:34):
branches. But leave the stumpfor it of its roots in the
Earth, bound with a brand ofiron and bronze, amid the tender
grass of the field. Let him bewet with the dew of heaven. Let
his position be with the beastsin the grass of the Earth. So as
you probably have ascertained,this tree, it represents
(03:56):
Nebuchadnezzar's vast empire,was a blessing to all beneath
it.
And yet, its eventual downfallwas decreed to remind all of
creation that true authorityrest not with Earthly Kings or
even presidents or primeministers, but with the divine
(04:16):
ruler above. So this stump leftin the ground, there's not as a
mark of destruction, but as apromise of restoration,
contingent upon theacknowledgement of God's
dominion. And this entireinterpretation is really summed
up with this, The sentence is bythe decree of the watchers, the
decision by the word of the holyones. To the end that the living
(04:40):
may know that the most highrules the kingdom of men and
gives it to whom he will andsets over it the lowest of men.
As adventures and pretty muchwarriors of faith, this passage
calls us to reflect on the powerstructures and prideful
endeavors of our own lives.
Like Daniel, we are summoned tospeak truths that can alter the
(05:03):
course of kingdoms. Urging usand those who walk in darkness
towards the light of humilityand righteousness. I do say us
and those because sometimes, wecan be very good Christians and
yet we're still in darkness. So,therefore, heed the lessons of
Daniel, embracing our divinecall upon, you know, our divine
(05:25):
call to uphold justice, andconduct ourselves with the
humility that recognizes andreveres the sovereignty of God,
as is reflected in Proverbseighteen twelve. Before
destruction, a man's part ishaughty, but humility comes
before honor.
When we navigate the treacheroustrains of our quest and confront
(05:48):
the dragons of pride and power,we should always remember that
it is God who establishes anddispose dispose it deposes. It
is he who lifts the humble andhumbles the mighty. In our
journey, this understanding mustguide us must guide our actions
and influence our decisions,ensuring that our endeavors
(06:10):
glorify not ourselves, but theking of kings. As we mentioned
in our last series bad advice,we need to be accountable to
each other in matters of sin.But Daniel, in his work,
delivers King Nebuchadnezzar astern message.
Therefore, oh king, let mycounsel be acceptable to you.
(06:32):
Break off your sins bypracticing righteousness, and
your inequities by showing mercyto the oppressed, that there may
be perhaps a lengthening of yourprosperity. Daniel delivers this
message courageously standingbefore Nebuchadnezzar. And as I
said, we too are called to standfirm in our convictions. This
(06:52):
divine directive echoes throughscriptures, but more
importantly, in Romans twelvetwenty one, to remind us of our
responsibility to to advocatefor truth and justice in a
tumultuous world.
Do not be overcome by evil, butovercome evil with good. In our
daily encounters, whether in,you know, guild meetings,
whether in our office work,whether, you know, just driving
(07:14):
down the street during questsand within our communities
itself, we are equipped likeknights of the realm. We need to
be wielding our sword of truthand the shield of faith. Told
you these would come back lateron. These tools are not just for
defense, but are meant to beactively employed in the pursuit
(07:35):
of justice and the protection ofthe innocent.
As followers of Christ, our callto action extends beyond passive
observation. We are urged to actjustly and to love mercy.
Walking humbly with God, asmentioned in Micah six eight. He
has told you, oh man, what isgood. And what does the Lord
(07:55):
require of you but to dojustice, and to love kindness
and to walk humbly with yourGod?
Now, it's not enough to dislikeinjustice. We can do that
constantly. We must activelywork against it, ensuring that
our actions and words align withthe divine will. In situations
where you witness wrongdoing,remember the wisdom we find in
(08:18):
Proverbs 31, eight through nine.Open your mouth for the mute,
for the rights of all who aredestitute.
Open your mouth, judgerighteously, defend the rights
of the poor and needy. Thiswisdom compels us to be vocal
advocates for those who aremarginalized or oppressed.
Challenging us to be agents ofchange in a world that often
(08:41):
favors silence and complianceover bold righteousness. Now,
this does not mean we advocatefor woke ideology, but for the
truly marginalized andoppressed. So, let's be inspired
by Daniel's example.
To act upon the wisdom given tous, identify where in your life
(09:04):
you can be a voice for thevoiceless. Is there an injustice
you have been ignoring? Is therea truth that you withheld for
fear of conflict? Embrace therole of a righteous leader.
Stand up for what is right asDaniel did with a heart aligned
with God's purpose.
As we find in our realms, bothfantastical and real, the need
(09:27):
for leaders like Daniel hasnever been more pressing. We
need leaders who act upon thedivine wisdom granted to them.
And today, I urge each of you,consider where you can exemplify
such leadership. Is there anarea in your life or community
where justice is needed? Arethere decisions being made that
require a courageous voice oftruth?
Yes. I am repeating myself inthis aspect because it's not
(09:51):
just the questions of ourselvesand when we play games or when
we're out there, but there'smore to it. There's a whole
field that we need to look at,not just for ourselves, but in
our family, our friends, ourcoworkers, our churches, our
schools. So as we embody Oh,excuse me. As we seek to embody
(10:11):
the role of righteous leaders,let's recall the words of Jesus
who taught, you are the light ofthe world.
A city set on a hill cannot behidden. As followers of Christ,
we are guided to shine brightlyin the darkness, illuminating
paths, guiding the lost, andstanding firm in our
(10:32):
convictions. Leadership in theBiblical sense involves not just
authority, but servanthood. Andthis is outlined in Mark chapter
10 verses 43 through 45. But itshall not be so among you.
But whoever would be great amongyou must be your servant, and
whoever would be first among youmust be slave to all. For even
(10:57):
the son of man came not to beserved, but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom formany. A little foreboding there?
Definitely. So embracing thiscall, we must accept the mantle
of servanthood.
Leading by example, servingthose in need, and advocating
for righteousness. Paul's wordsin Timothy also guide us in our
(11:21):
quest for moral leadership. Letno one despise you for your
youth, but set the believers anexample in speech, in conduct,
in love, in faith, in purity.This chart is a clarion call to
all, and clarion call is justanother is just a really fancy
term for, you know, call toaction, really. So the young so
(11:48):
for us young and old to leadlives that exemplify the gospel,
impacting those around usthrough our actions and our
integrity.
Like I said, actions are greatbut you have to have integrity
behind it because withoutintegrity, nobody will follow
you. Nobody will want to listento you. The data you decide to
(12:11):
take a stand, it cannot be justin grand gestures, but in daily
decisions that reflect yourallegiance to the kingdom of
God. Like Daniel, you may havethe wisdom to interpret the
signs of the times and and thecourage to act rightly, guided
by design divine wisdom andempowered by the Holy Spirit. In
(12:31):
our understanding of standing upfor what's just and true, let us
be inspired to don the fullarmor of God, equipping
ourselves for the spiritualbattles we face daily.
This call is ongoing action andvigilance in our spiritual
journey. Finally, be strong inthe Lord, in the strength of his
(12:51):
might, put on the whole armor ofGod that you may be able to
stand against the schemes of thedevil. And again, Ephesians six
ten through 11. And I know we'reconstantly going on this, but in
our adventures, both spirituallyand earthly, we must be prepared
to confront the challenges withthe belt of truth buckled around
our waist, the breastplate ofrighteousness in place, with our
(13:13):
feet fitted with the readinessthat comes from the gospel of
peace. Again, I know weconstantly have talked about the
armor of God.
This armor is the corefoundation with battling the
warfare that you encounter inthe world. Furthermore, in
second Corinthians ten four,sorry, Paul talks about the
(13:37):
weapons we use as Christians.For the weapons of our warfare
are not of the flesh, but havedivine power to destroy
stronghold. These divineweapons, faith, the word of God,
and prayer are our tools toovercome any spiritual
adversity. Break down thebarriers of unbelief and spread
the light of truth andrighteousness in dark places.
(14:00):
Like Daniel, we should embracethe courage to act upon the
wisdom given to us and do notshy away from the call to
spiritual valor. As spiritualwarriors, it is our duty and
honor to engage in this holybattle, upholding the values of
the kingdom, and striving forjustice and mercy in re
encounter. As I finish, allowthe message of Daniel to
(14:23):
resonate deeply within yourhearts and minds. Again, I
encourage you read the book ofDaniel, but as we as I said,
these are gonna be broken downto get a little bit more deeper.
But I do encourage you to readthe book of Daniel.
It's a great book. It's all thelines of, Joseph and his amazing
technicolored reading, but onlythe whole book without the
(14:45):
singing too. So I want you toreflect on the courage it took
for him to stand up to a king.The wisdom he displayed, he
inter as he interpretedNebuchadnezzar's dreams and the
humility he showed in hisservitude to God. One thing I do
wish to convey, do not try tointerpret dreams, either yours
(15:08):
or others.
Daniel had this divine giftbestowed upon him by God. For
us, it is the wisdom ofinterpreting the issues and
trends of today that we shouldunderstand in order to bring
awareness to others in regardsto Jesus and God. These virtues
must inspire us to live out ourfaith with boldness and
conviction. For this week, Iwant you to remember the words
(15:32):
in Galatians six:nine, and letus not grow weary of doing good
for in due season, we will reapif we do not give up. I want you
to continue to stand up for whatis right, to speak out against
injustice, and be the light inthe darkness.
Your journey this week should bemarked by acts of kindness,
(15:53):
courage, unwavering faith.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
