Thrive (Part 9)

Pastor Tim Travis uses Daniel 1 to encourage listeners to thrive in the new year by centering our lives on the Bible. He focuses on Daniel’s choice not to defile himself with the king’s food, highlighting Daniel’s purpose in his heart to honor God’s will despite potential consequences. Travis urges the listener to “purpose” our hearts toward God’s will, “prove” God’s faithfulness through obedience, and experience the true prosperity that comes from prioritizing God over worldly desires. Pastor Travis connects Daniel’s experience to modern life, challenging listeners to stand firm in our faith even when facing ridicule or opposition from others.
