In this sermon, Pastor explores Daniel 4, focusing on the story of King Nebuchadnezzar's pride, downfall, and restoration. The central message is that "God is God, and we are not." Nebuchadnezzar, at the height of his power and glory, took credit for all his accomplishments, claiming he built Babylon by his own might for his own glory. God responded by humbling him through seven years of insanity where he lived like an animal until he acknowledged God's sovereignty. The sermon emphasizes that God will not share His glory with anyone and will intervene when we begin to think we don't need Him. God's discipline, though painful, is always purposeful - not to destroy us but to restore us to proper relationship with Him.
