AT623 Lesson 35
Update: 2017-08-18
Description
Chad Mullinix continues to explore the good news of hospitality. Explore Acts 21:4-5, 7-10, 15-16. We also read in Romans 16:1-2, “I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church at Cenchreae, that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she may need from you, for she has been a patron of many and of myself as well.” What if the church would take a greater role in being hospitable? The good news of hospitality includes receiving the condescending and gracious love of God, demonstrating hospitality, supporting those going out with the good news, and welcoming those needing to hear the good news. Explore Acts 28:17 , 21-24. Continuing in Acts 28:30-31 we read, “He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.” Karen Mains states, "When we are given to hospitality, we can become missionaries without leaving our homes." She also reflects that, "These gifts of hospitality till the soil, fertilize the ground, and prepare for the evangelist who knows how to harvest the field to ensure maximum yield."
