Join a GO Partner Advocacy Team
An Advocacy Team is a small group of people committed to caring for our sent partners in specific ways. Sent partners are those commissioned and sent out by Bethany either globally or locally. These teams meet once a month to pray for and care for their sent partner. If you are interested you can go to bethanycentral.org/GOadvocacy to learn more.

We Want to Pray for You!

Discussion Questions
Icebreaker Question
What is the best prank you’ve experienced or planned?
Discussion Questions
What reasons did God give for humbling Nebuchadnezzar? What can we learn from God’s actions?
Is there symbolism in Nebuchadnezzar being turned into an animal because of his pride? What do you think God was trying to communicate to us today, through this transformation?
What can we learn from Daniel’s reaction to the interpretation, as well as his words of advice to the king?
How did Daniel try to help the king after knowing what his future would be?
Application Questions
Pride is often described as the root of all sin. Do you think that is true? Why or why not? In what ways does pride hinder our spiritual walk? What is the opposite of pride? (See Prov 11:2, 15:33, and 29:23)
How can we cultivate humility in our lives in order to avoid the consequences of our pride? (See James 4:6, 10)
Do you think it is possible to avoid pride in our lives? What actions can we take to avoid pride? Why do you think God takes pride so seriously, both here in this passage as well as other places in Scripture?
