Called to Twinkle and Shine
We will wrap up our series in Daniel and talk about the original GPS, stars and how we too are called to twinkle and shine.

Living Above Reproach
Imagine someone is trying to trip you up or get you in trouble at work but they can't think of anything! That is what happens with Daniel but that does not stop them from trying to cause him harm.

A Working Trio
Many are familiar with the verse that closes out 1 Corinthians 13 - “And now abideth faith, hope, and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” but the apostle Paul gives a little more detail on what each of these look like in action when he speaks to the church in Thessalonians.
