Authentic Church
About this episode

Pride can sneak in and destroy our trust in God before we even realize it. In today’s message, we look at the life of King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4, and how insane pride can lead to insane downfall — but also how God's mercy can restore us. Don’t miss this powerful reminder that God’s grace is greater than our greatest failures!
