Pastor Brian shares a message about why welcoming–a particular spirit and practice of welcoming–is at the heart being a follower of Jesus.

Jesus says, “and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple — truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward” (Matthew 10:42, NRSV).

“Little ones” and “cup of cold water” have more meaning when we consider Jesus’ context, and it tells us a lot about how Jesus’ understands welcoming.
