Welcome One Another

In a world that feels increasingly divided, the Bible calls us to something countercultural: welcome one another. Romans 15:7 makes the reason clear, urging us to welcome one another as Christ has welcomed us, for the glory of God. This is not simply a role for greeters or hospitality volunteers. It is a responsibility that belongs to every believer. Christ welcomed us unconditionally, in our sin and brokenness, and because of that, we are called to extend the same grace to others. Welcoming someone is not a small act. It can shape the entire trajectory of a person's faith and even their eternity. When a church genuinely welcomes people and walks alongside them, God is glorified and the world takes notice.
