Confidence in Uncertain Times | Draw Near to God (13)

How can we be confident in God as we face uncertainty? In this week’s message, Ptr. Jared Co takes us to the time when David fled from Saul in Psalms 57, where we see how David sought God’s help beyond his circumstances, prioritized God’s glory over his own safety, and sang of God’s steadfast love and faithfulness.
