Extending God's Hospitality

Last night we ended our time together by talking about hospitality as a central practice of Christian faith. When we understand the gospel as the generosity, friendship and hospitality of God, then it's fairly straightfoward to recognize that sharing God's hospitality is one way we begin to live as God's people.

The question is, how can we do this? Big ways? Small ways? Obvious ways? More creative ways? Click on "Comments" below and post your ideas. How can we action this in Hollywood Church?

For help imagining this, you can spend some time in the following scriptures: Genesis 18, Deuteronomy 24:20-22; Matthew 25:31-46; and Hebrews 13:1-2.

As we were talking last night I began thinking how blessed I was to be raised in a hospitable home - I have had my ins and out with my mother, but the thing that struck me last night was that no matter how tight money was over the years, we always hosted people in our home. When I was younger I would often be annoyed at always having “strangers” in our house, but I now realize that I have an advantage in Gods plan. Since I was raised hosting large amounts of people on a regular basis I find it easy and am very comfortable sharing my home, food, time with others.
I am also blessed to have amazing roommates that share my passion for sharing. I had never thought of hospitality as a way to share Gods love, until last night.
So if any one ever wants to come over hang out, or needs a place to stay, you are more than welcome. Mi casa, Su casa!

Thanks for your comment, Sunday! I'm so blessed! I think we should take you up on your offer. Part of learning the art of hospitality is learning how to be a recipient of hospitality. Let's work toward a vespers on a Friday night, or something, we could do at your place.
