Sunday August 25, 2024 at the Hub City Church Resisting the Spirit of Babylon | Daniel 1:1-21 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes The greatest DANGER for BABYLON is not living in IT PHYSICALLY, but its SUBTLE and SEDUCTIVE attempts to live in US SPIRITUALLY. 1 Corinthians 5:11 “Though we do not share all of the world’s conclusions, too often we think about everything in the same way and operate with the same value system— how many of us would rather die for the glory of God than live halfheartedly for Him in a measure of comfort?” — Sinclair Ferguson The demonic kingdom of Babylon wants to cause Christians to forget God with a process of systematic reprogramming: 1. ISOLATING them. Proverbs 18:1 // 1 Peter 5:8 2. INDOCTRINATING them. Colossians 2:8 // Romans 12:2 3. RE-IDENTIFYING them. 1 John 3:2 // 2 Corinthians 5:20 4. INTOXICATING them. Ephesians 5:18 // 1 Peter 1:13 Daniel’s example teaches us: There is usually a way to COEXIST PEACEABLY in Babylon
