Daniel — Dare to Trust God’s Wisdom
Pastor Nathan Wakefield continues our series through the book of Daniel. This week, in chapter 2, we see that God has laid out a master plan, and a wise person will trust in that plan rather than man’s wisdom. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.
