- 241I Dare You: Speak Out! - Part BJust as Daniel dared to speak out to Nebuchadnezzar, we must dare to speak to those in our lives who need Jesus Christ. In the message "I Dare You: Speak Out!" Skip shares how you can leave your personal comfort zone to bring others closer to Jesus.
- 242I Dare You: Stand Up! - Part AMost people try to fit in and conform to the values of the world. But three of Daniel's friends decided it was better to stand up for God than bow down to the wishes of the crowd. Learn more about them as Skip shares the message "I Dare You: Stand Up!"
- 243I Dare You: Stand Up! - Part BStanding up for God is always better than bowing down to the world—but it's always harder. In the message "I Dare You: Stand Up!" Skip shares how all things work together for your good—not just the things that feel good.
- 244I Dare You: Submit! - Part AIn the book of Daniel, we read about a king who recognized God's authoritative rule in the human realm. In the message "I Dare You: Submit!" Skip explores how this story has implications for us to submit to God by submitting to human government.
- 245I Dare You: Submit! - Part BAs believers, our relationship to human authority should be to respect it, support it, pray for it, and submit to it unless it violates the law of God. Skip examines this relationship even more as he shares the message "I Dare You: Submit!"
- 246Like Father, Like Son - Part BThe most important question you could ever ask is not, "Who am I?" but rather, "Who is Christ?" That was the supreme question Jesus presented to His disciples when He said, "Who do you say that I am?" (Matthew 16:15). Jesus made the most astonishing claim ever when He confronted the Jewish leaders of Jerusalem here in John 5. What do these claims have to do with us today? Absolutely everything!
- 247I Dare You: Be Humble! - Part AIn Daniel 4, Nebuchadnezzar learns the greatest lesson of his long career—that God humbles those who walk in pride. But we can learn this same lesson in a much easier way. Join Skip as he begins the message "I Dare You: Be Humble!"
- 248I Dare You: Be Humble! - Part BIt's important for us to cultivate humility in our lives, living out our dependence on God through prayer and worship. In the message "I Dare You: Be Humble!" Skip shares how you can live humbly by placing others first through encouragement and service.
- 249I Dare You: Wake Up! - Part AIn Daniel 5, King Belshazzar was given a wake-up call when some handwriting on a wall told him judgment was coming. That night turned out to be his last. In the message "I Dare You: Wake Up!" Skip shares why we must heed divine warnings.
- 250I Dare You: Wake Up! - Part BThere will be a final meal, a last breath for everyone, and then eternity. Your life is being weighed in God's balances, and He's trying to get your attention. In the message "I Dare You: Wake Up!" Skip asks, "How will you respond to God?"
- 251I Dare You: Be Faithful! - Part ADaniel was consistently faithful, both publicly and privately. His attitude set him apart, and his reputation withstood scrutiny. In the message "I Dare You: Be Faithful!" Skip shows you how Daniel refused to compromise even when his life was on the line.
- 252Everyone Lives Forever - Part AMy mom used to wake me up early every morning with her sweet voice saying, "Rise and Shine!" It took a few times but I eventually got up out of bed. As Jesus declares that He will be in charge of the future judgment, He too will usher the call to everyone who has died to "Rise up!" But not everyone will rise up to shine; some will rise up to suffer. Let’s consider three inevitable and unalterable truths about the future for all of us: We will all die, we will all be judged, and we will all rise again to live forever... but where?
- 253I Dare You: Be Faithful! - Part BHow faithful are you to the Lord's work? That will largely determine the rewards you receive in heaven. In the message "I Dare You: Be Faithful!" Skip shares about how you are rewarded in eternity according to your faithfulness.
- 254I Dare You: Be Steadfast! - Part ADaniel faced the trial of a lifetime in the lions' den. But he was willing to sacrifice life and limb because his heart was steadfast toward his God. In the message "I Dare You: Be Steadfast!" Skip shares how you can take your faith to the next level.
- 255I Dare You: Be Steadfast! - Part BDo you want to be influential for the kingdom of God, like Daniel? To be an immovable giant of the faith, you must truly know God. Skip explores how you can do that as he shares the message "I Dare You: Be Steadfast!"
- 256I Dare You: Defend! - Part ADaniel is an amazing book of prophecy and history, yet it has many critics. Because they believe only in the natural, these critics have naturalistic explanations for this book. Skip examines these views in the message "I Dare You: Defend!"
- 257I Dare You: Defend! - Part BThrough prophecies like those found in the book of Daniel, God authenticates Himself and the validity of His Word. In the message "I Dare You: Defend!" Skip shares why those prophecies affirm the truth that God can handle your future.
- 258Everyone Lives Forever - Part BMy mom used to wake me up early every morning with her sweet voice saying, "Rise and Shine!" It took a few times but I eventually got up out of bed. As Jesus declares that He will be in charge of the future judgment, He too will usher the call to everyone who has died to "Rise up!" But not everyone will rise up to shine; some will rise up to suffer. Let’s consider three inevitable and unalterable truths about the future for all of us: We will all die, we will all be judged, and we will all rise again to live forever... but where?
- 259I Dare You: Decide! Part 1 - Part AThe world as we know it won't last forever; one day, time will be interrupted by the Antichrist and the return of the true Christ. Whose kingdom will you choose? Learn more about that future time in the message "I Dare You: Decide! Part 1."

- 262I Dare You: Decide! Part 2 - Part BIslam is the fastest growing religion in the world today, and many Christians view Muslims as the enemy. But as Skip reminds you in his message "I Dare You: Decide! Part 2," Satan is the real Enemy and we're called to draw others—including Muslims—to Christ.
- 263I Dare You: Look Ahead! - Part AThe future is the great unknown to everyone but God. He's already seen the end—and you can trust what He says is coming. Join Skip as he shares encouragement in the message "I Dare You: Look Ahead!"
- 264Why Should You Believe? - Part BThe theme of John's gospel is "believe." The whole reason he wrote this book is so that people who read it will believe in Jesus (see John 20:31). But why should they believe? And even more applicable, why should we believe? After all, the events of the New Testament are over 2,000 years removed from us today. Jesus' confrontation with the religious leaders in John 5 tells us why we should believe. Like a skilled lawyer, Jesus calls upon four witnesses to testify to His claims and these four give the reasons for our believing in Jesus Christ.
