In this case the story of Daniel and the lion's den is an invitation to: consider the pain of exile, imagine what it would look like to prosper in exile, and believe in the power of God to deliver us from evil/death.</p><p><br></p><p>Questions:</p><p>1. Have you ever heard this story before? If so, what stood out to you that you either hadn't heard before or didn't remember?</p><p><br></p><p>2. Has anyone ever found themselves in a painful place they never could have imagined being? Is anyone in that place now? Would anyone be willing to share their experience?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>3. Is it possible to experience prosperity in the midst of pain? How does Daniel's story show us the way?</p><p><br></p><p>4. Is there anything in your life that seems unchangeable that you hope will change? How are you trusting God with that?</p><p><br></p><p>5. This week Christians all over the world will celebrate Easter. Are there any parallels between the story of Daniel and the story of Jesus?</p>","author_name":"Vista Community Church"}
