You know that question, “Where is home?” It’s a good question, and there are a lot of ways to answer it. Home is where you’re from, where your people are, where you feel safe. But that doesn’t really capture it, does it? Home is more than a place. It’s a feeling. It’s knowing you belong somewhere.
A lot of people don’t have that. They’re looking for home and can’t find it. So we have a job to do. We have to be the kind of place, the kind of people, where folks can find home. Where they feel like they matter, like they belong, like somebody cares whether they’re here or not. That’s the church. That’s what church is supposed to be.
