Hosting and welcoming others into our homes and lives is a good thing to do. How does hospitality display the gospel? What are some practical ways we can grow in welcoming others into our homes? And what are some ways we can grow in welcoming Jesus into our lives daily?
While hosting is good, we do not want to miss the central point of hosting, being in the presence of others… With Jesus it’s no different. How do we fight the temptation to make the hosting of Jesus (i.e. prayer, scripture reading, sabbath, etc.) a checklist to complete rather than a joy to behold and spend time with Him?
PRAY
We would grow in both hosting and beholding Jesus
Pray for the needs of each other and for our city
