Denise McKinney concludes our series on the early church by discussing this vital part of church life. You’re Welcome Irresistible Force | Week 5 October 23, 2016 | Denise McKinney Acts 2:46-47 (NLT) They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity — all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved. It’s a sacred welcome. It’s a personal welcome. It’s a life-giving welcome. It’s also a welcome that often takes us beyond the familiar and comfortable. Their welcome and hospitality of others reflected what they truly believed about the Gospel—was it really good news for everyone?
