Goats and Rams - Uncomfortable - Daniel 8

Sermons
Written By Cris Escher
Digital Bulletin Sep 29

QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON DURING THE WEEK -

  1. Describe a scary experience you’ve had with an animal.  What made it so scary?

  2. Read Daniel 8:1-14.  Daniel is told later in chapter 8 that the destructive ram and goat represent the Persian and Greek empires.  It was terrifying for him. As a Christian, what in the world terrifies you today?

  3. If you read the explanation of the vision in Daniel 8:15-27, we see that ultimately the ram and the goat cause destruction but will be destroyed “by no human hand” (v. 25).  God will give his people the victory. Peter speaks of similar trials that God’s people will face. Read 1 Peter 1:6-9. How does Jesus give you the victory in the midst of trials? 

  4. Knowing that Jesus has won the victory and has defeated the scary rams and goats, how do we live now?

This week in our study of Joel, we explored chapters 1 and 2, discussing how the prophet uses the imagery of a devastating locust plague to represent a coming judgment, call God's people to heartfelt repentance, and promise profound restoration and the outpouring of His Spirit.

The Creed cuts through the noise of our own unworthiness to name us as 'good' creatures, loved by a God who honors our flesh and blood enough to redeem it, not just replace it.

We are dusting off the Catechism to discover that the Creed is not just a list of principles to memorize, but a testimony of a God who created, redeemed, and sanctified you.

While earthly rulers try to hijack the story of the Magi to claim power, the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh reveal a King who rules through sacrifice and death, calling us to abandon the world's version of greatness for a "different way."
