Daniel 4

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Michael and Jake discuss yesterday’s sermon from Daniel 4 and how we can surrender to God’s sovereignty for your sanity. We unpack the main points from the sermon and go beyond yesterday with additional insight into the text.
Nebuchadnezzar pens his own testimony (Dan. 4): the dream of a world-feeding tree, a heavenly decree, a humiliating fall, and a restoration the moment he “lifted his eyes to heaven.” We trace the problem under the problems—pride—why prosperity is a brutal exam to pass, and why sanity returns only when we surrender to God’s sovereignty.
Message Highlights:

Main Point: Surrender to God’s sovereignty for your sanity.
How do we deal with pride?
Prosperity is a tough task to pass.
Not recognizing God = Insanity = Pride
Recognizing God = Sanity
LIFE IS NOT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR GLORY!
