This message was given by Pastor Josh and is titled Welcome Like Jesus. Romans 15:7 says, "Accept one another then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God." Pastor Josh explains that the meaning of accept is to welcome in (to be hospitable). The ancient Christians were deeply grateful for God's welcoming of sinners through Christ; they imitated Christ by welcoming others into their lives and homes. Pastor Josh lists three things we should learn from the early church about hospitality and emphasizes that true hospitality shows the character of God.
May this message help rekindle in you the same hospitality that early Christians had for their neighbors and strangers, so that you may be welcoming like Christ, reflecting God the Father through tangible acts of love.
