Our Mission
Ephesians 4:11–13 · Matthew 9:35–38 · 1 Peter 3:8
August 16 Sunday’s Message · Acts 10–11
Everyone Is Welcome!
Sean walked through Peter’s encounters with Cornelius and the early church’s growing realization that God does not show favoritism. The gospel is for everyone: no one is too far away, and every one of us is called to show and share the welcome of Jesus.
