Meaningful Gift Giving For Anyone

The power for transformation isn't in us as the sower or in the soil itself - it's in the seed, the gospel message of hope in Jesus Christ.

When both elements are present and thriving, you get a community that doesn't just count members—it transforms lives.

The question isn't whether we'll face conflict and anger. We will. The question is: Will we let those challenges drive us toward greater Christlikeness and deeper community? Or will we let them harden our hearts and divide us from others?

Maybe it's time to remember that church isn't supposed to be a place where perfect people gather to maintain their perfection. It's supposed to be a place where broken people come together to experience the healing, hope, and hospitality of Jesus.

True hospitality isn't about having the right programs or saying the right words. It's about creating space where people can belong before they believe, where questions are welcomed rather than feared, and where someone's story matters more than their ability to recite the right theological answers.
