Faithful Exiles | Pt. 2 - When Human Wisdom Fails | Daniel 2

Pastor John Murphy reflects on what happens when human wisdom fails, using both the folly of modern “experts” and Nebuchadnezzar’s dream as examples. In the passage, Babylon’s wise men admit they cannot interpret the king’s dream—highlighting that human wisdom overpromises and underdelivers—while Daniel turns to God, who alone reveals truth. The dream points to a succession of earthly kingdoms that will all fall, but also to a divine kingdom, established through Jesus Christ, that will never end. Pastor John urges listeners not to build their lives on unstable human ideas or fading powers, but to anchor their security, identity, and hope in Christ, the cornerstone, whose unshakable kingdom will one day fill the earth. The right response, like Daniel’s, is worship, humility, and trust in God’s wisdom.
