We continue The Core 7 Focus for our Sh!ft series — group inclusively

• We need this "one another" element in our life of faith.
• It was a foundational part of the early church's life.
  1. Temple and house-to-house gatherings a part of daily life — Acts 2:46
  2. Publicly and house-to-house was part of the apostles' ministry style — Acts 2:20
• This kind of life only happens in the dynamics of a genuinely loving smaller group that is part of a larger community ...
• When we practice hospitality intentionally as practical love (cf. 1 Peter 4:8-10)
• When we welcome each other, regardless of background, as Jesus has welcomed us (cf. Romans 15:7)
