Discussion Starters
Monday—What’s your experience with the book of Daniel? Do you have favorite parts? Which ones? Do any parts confuse you or make you uncomfortable? Which ones?
Tuesday—Why did God hand his people over to Nebuchadnezzar? Was it because God was
unable to protect them? What was his goal?
Wednesday—How did Nebuchadnezzar try to win the Israelites over to being loyal to Babylon? How does the world do that with us?
Thursday—What did Jesus mean that his kingdom is not of this world? (John 18:36) Where is his kingdom? Does that mean it has no bearing on life in this world?
Friday—What does it mean that you are an exile this world? What does it look like to be in the world, but not of it?
