Even though King Nebuchadnezzar had seen God move in mighty ways on behalf of Daniel and his friends, he still hadn't had a real heart change. In this week's sermon, Pastor Nathan goes over Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a tree and what the Lord's purpose is when we are laid low.
What actions do we take when we must step out in faith and the leader we usually rely on isn't there? In this week's sermon, Pastor Nathan goes over the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and how even without Daniel to support them there's another who stands with them in the fire.
