First of all, we doubled last week’s attendance! That’s awesome. If we’re going to impact Greenville, that’s what it’s going to take: people reaching people. Secondly, we had power. Which was good! 
Since we had a lot of new people, we went over the Guiding Document again, what kind of church we were going to be, where we’re headed as a church, etc. I then gave a devotion from Daniel 3: the basic reason that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went into the furnace was for the glory of God in front of King Nebuchednezzar. Basically, the trials and fires we face aren’t for our faith: they are for those watching us go through them.
We wrapped up with a great discussion on chapter 2 of Don’t Waste Your Life, which discusses Scripture as authoritative, Jesus as God, and finally the relationship between our joy and God’s glory. It was a great discussion, and I can’t wait until next week! See you then, and bring a friend!
