Every 1st Sunday we host a potluck and have a guest speaker who is actively involved in outreach. Not only are potlucks incredibly enjoyable, they actually reflect good theology. Our families show up not to be fed, but to feed others. Our gathering around the table is purpose drive and mission-oriented. There is a true spirit of selfless generosity that reflects the heart of Jesus. We look not only to our own interests but also to the interests of others (Philippians 2:4). We desire not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). We generously offer as much as we can possibly afford to share (2 Corinthians 9:6).
When the whole church lives this way, we experience the same phenomenon the early church experienced - “There was not a needy person among them” (Acts 4:34).
