Series: Bible Flyover

May 27, 2026
Pastor Brett Cooper

In this lesson, we will explore the powerful Old Testament books of Daniel and Ezekiel by learning who these men were, where they lived during the Babylonian exile, who they were speaking to, and how their messages impacted God’s people. We will walk through the major highlights of both books — including Daniel in the lions’ den, the fiery furnace, Ezekiel’s vision of dry bones, and God’s promise of a new heart — while discovering how their teachings still encourage believers today to remain faithful, stand strong in difficult cultures, and trust God’s power to restore broken lives.
