The irony...
Sunshine. Long weekends. People away. Lowest attendance so far. Highest offering so far. Double our highest previous offerings. It's a reminder that small is big in God's reality. Hopeless is perfect for God because then he gets to be God. My faith has been stretched. God is definitely in control of TXC. There's a sense of anticipation in the air. We are pushing ahead with everything we've got. Something big is coming. It's the small steps stacked one on top of the other that lead to big. There is no easy way. There is no safe way. Easy and safe is boring. So we continue to navigate into the unknown. It's risky. It's dangerous. It's life altering. It's upside down.
It's where life is meant to be lived.

Dan, PLEASE don't get discouraged. If there are 500 people, 50, or even 5. If one person in that 5, or 5 people in that 50 are being touched by God, through you, then you're doing what you've been called to do, no? And since for the first time ever, I actually LIKE going to church, and listening to what God has to say through you each week, you're obviously reaching at least 1 of the 5! It's not like people had "better things to do" last Sunday-they were just fellowshiping in different places! (Like, in the rain!) ;) No worries-there'll be 500 next week-you'll see!
