In last week’s message in Daniel 10 we witnessed the reality of the spiritual battle in prayer. This week, we’ll step away from Daniel for one week to welcome a guest preacher from College Church, Pastor Ben Panner, who will be preaching on 1 Peter 5:6-11. 

There are many overlapping themes between Daniel 10 and 1 Peter 5. You’ll remember that Daniel humbled himself before the Lord and prayed for a 3-week period. Similarly, in 1 Peter 5:6-11, we’re instructed to humble ourselves before the Lord, casting all our anxieties on him. We’re also warned about the spiritual battle that we’re in, and are commanded to be sober-minded and watchful, resisting the devil. 

One of the great beauties of God’s Word is that it is one unified story, and we’ll see that on display this Sunday as it complements last week’s message. Please give a warm Hope Fellowship welcome to Pastor Ben, and get ready to hear from God’s powerful Word.

In Christ,

Pastor Eric
