Daniel - Youth
Big Idea — Just as Daniel thrived in Babylon despite the ungodly culture, God empowers us to thrive on
campuses, in workplaces, and in social settings that are hostile to the Christian faith.
• Week 1 — The Compass: Finding Your Identity
We must know who we are in God like Daniel did, despite any attempt to confuse our identity.
• Week 2 — The Flashlight: Lighting the Way
Daniel saw his role in Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom as an opportunity to glorify God, and we too
can use our talents and abilities to shine the light on who God is.
• Week 3 — Mess Kit: Consume Wisely
Daniel chose not to consume the king’s food in order not to defile himself. Likewise, we must
choose not to consume what the world offers, instead trusting God with what we allow into our
minds and hearts.
• Week 4 — First Aid: Facing Persecution
Developing a lifestyle of prayer equips us to stand up for our faith in spite of peer pressure.
