I Love This Place – Week 1

Scriptures:

Romans 15:7; Romans 12:13; 1 Peter 4:9 ; Hebrews 13:2; Genesis 18:1-9

Key Thought:

The gospel starts at the front door—welcome first.

God Speaks: What is the Lord saying to you?

Personal Reflections:

How do the “foyer moments” of my life communicate welcome or distance to others?

Who in my circle is standing on the edges, waiting for someone to notice them?

What would it look like for my home, my conversations, and my church foyer to say: “You are welcome here”?

Next Steps This Week:

Welcome Mat Prayer – Stand at your front door this week and pray: “Lord, may my life be a welcome mat, not a closed door.”

Start a Conversation – In the church foyer, introduce yourself to someone new and walk them where they need to go.

Invite In – Open your home or table to someone this week. Hospitality begins with a simple invitation.

Hospitality Challenge – Carry one act of welcome into your daily life: hold a door, save a seat, greet a stranger.

Praying For Good @ 4 pm: Join us each day to pause and pray at 4:00 PM as we ask God to do For Good in our church, our city, and our world.
