Daniel 1 - 2

DanielSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the introduction of Daniel and his three friends and their commitment to remaining faithful to their Jewish beliefs while in captivity in Babylon. Despite being ordered to eat food that had been sacrificed to idols, Daniel refused, demonstrating his resolve to maintain his religious convictions. Later, when asked by King Nebuchadnezzar to interpret his dream, Daniel prayed to God for guidance and was able to provide an accurate interpretation. Gregg uses this historical account as an example of how individuals can remain faithful to their beliefs, even in difficult situations.
