LIVING IN EXILE: DANIEL
The Lions' Den
Daniel 6
The lions of this world may ravage your body, but they can never touch your soul.
The famous story of Daniel and the lion's den concludes the narrative portion of the book of Daniel, and shows us how to navigate life in the midst of exile. In exile we must be wary of the world's agendas, we must seek faithfulness in our spiritual disciplines, and we must fix our hearts and eyes on God's glory.

Application Questions
- Why should we be cautious when we encounter the world's rejection or celebration?
- How can you see people as people?
- What spiritual disciplines are necessary in your life to fight the current of the world around you?
- How is the story of Daniel a story about resurrection?
- What hope does this story give you in the midst of the lions in your life?

Harvest Festival/100th Anniversary Celebration
Saturday, October 26th, 11am-3pm
This annual festival is for our entire church community as well as our neighbors and friends. Come in costume (or not), and plan for a day full of games, fellowship, food, and candy! This year is extra special, as we are also celebrating the 100th anniversary of our church building, and the presence of our church in West Los Angeles. Grab a flyer and spread the word! If you're able to donate unopened bags of candy, we'll be collecting them in a bin just outside the sanctuary.
Building Bridges at Thanksgiving
Week of November 24th-30th
Every year, Bridges International at USC and UCLA connects international students to local LA families to experience Thanksgiving. Volunteers offer to add a couple of seats to their Thanksgiving table to welcome students who probably have never experienced an American Thanksgiving meal. No ministry or cross-cultural experience necessary! For more details, or to sign up, click here or contact Spencer at spencer.bauer@bridgesinternational.com. Deadline is November 11th.
