Dear CrossPointe,

This Sunday we’ll be in Daniel 3—one of the more well known stories in the Bible—in which three Hebrew men are thrown into a fiery furnace. It's an intense story of idolatrous pride, other-worldly confidence, and a miraculous rescue. You may be familiar with the story already, but take some time to read this chapter again a few times before Sunday. Looking forward to gathering with you all!

Grace and peace,

Brad
