God tests us in ways we don't expect.

It's not always pain and suffering that puts our faith to the test. Sometimes even success can be a tool God uses to get us to a place that ultimately causes us to draw closer to him.

In this 9-part series, Pastor Rick Warren uses the life of Daniel to teach us a biblical example of what to do in both tough and successful times and how to learn from them and remain connected to God.

It isn't always easy to stick to our faith through the unpredictable ups and downs of life, but learning from the past is a great way to remember what we stand to gain from remaining unshakable in our faith.

Sermons included:

  1. When Your World Is Shaken Up tells us what to do when we're shaken by adversity and how to turn our adversity into something positive.
  2. When You're Pressured to Conform lists qualities that God looks for in our lives and things we can do to appeal to authority when we're pressured to conform.
  3. When Your Beliefs Are Belittled emphasizes the importance of renewing our minds with God's Word so that we can keep our faith when someone questions our beliefs.
  4. When You're Asked to Do the Impossible teaches us how to turn to God to accomplish something that seems impossible in our lives.
  5. When the Heat Is On shows us what to do when we feel the heat of difficult situations turned on in our lives.
  6. When God Tests You With Success teaches us how to praise God for our success rather than becoming prideful and taking the credit for what he's done.
  7. Are You Learning From Those Who Came Before You? shows us the benefits of learning from others and how to not repeat their mistakes.
  8. Will You Stand Strong for God Publicly? uses Daniel's unwavering commitment to God as an example of how we can stand strong in our faith in a society that's critical of the Christian faith.
  9. The Kind of Prayer God Answers gives us six ways to pray the kind of prayers that God blesses.
