Unlikely Heroes
Part 3
Unlikely Boldness
1) Just for fun: Is there a story or significance about your name? (were you named after someone, your name has a specific meaning, etc.)
2) Who wrote the book of Daniel? When did it take place? When was it written?
3) Read 2 Kings 24:14 Who did Nebuchadnezzar take into captivity back to Babylon and who was left in Judah?
4) Ready Jeremiah 29:4-7. What advice did Jeremiah have for the Jews that were taken into exile? Do you think this advice would be easy to follow? What would be the result of following the advice (verse 7)? How can that same advice translate to us today?
5) Why do you think Nebuchadnezzar especially want young men for training (Daniel 1:4)? old men set in their ways, but rather young men who were able and eager to learn
6) Why do you suppose Ashpenaz changed the names of Daniel and his three friends? (possibly to intimidate them, brand them, frighten them, anger them, assimilate them)
7) Daniel requested a special diet of food and drink. Do you think maintaining this diet was easy or difficult for them when everyone else was enjoying the Kings food and wine?
8) How do you feel when you stand up for something that you believe in? (confidence, power, peace, elation, fear, freedom) If you deal with fears, what helps you combat those fears?
9) Has there been a time in your past that you stood up for something? How has that moment effected you?
10) Was there anything else about this message that stood out to you or helped you?
