Giving a Grand Welcome

Luke 19:28-40

(sermon outline for Sunday April 5)

Believers have an opportunity to extend a grand welcome to those who are inquiring about Jesus.

  • The crowd extended a royal welcome to Jesus as he entered Jerusalem.
  • You have an opportunity to welcome Jesus into the center of your life.
  • As believers, we can offer gracious hospitality to those who are not yet followers of Jesus.

Some folks make you feel at home. Others make you wish you were.                        Arnold H. Glasow.

  • A growing faith promotes consistency in our praise and in our welcome.

This week your life will intersect with countless friends and strangers.  As you extend gracious hospitality and a grand welcome for others to join you in the journey, you may be surprised at who will begin following.
