1. Hospitality was modeled by Jesus.

• • Luke 19:1-10

2. Hospitality isn’t hosting, it’s loving others well.

• • φιλοξενία – Philo – to love + Xenos – strangers (others)
  • Romans 12:13
  • 1 Peter 4:8-10
  • Hebrews 13:1-2

3. Hospitality creates opportunities to share the gospel.

NEXT STEPS

2. Invite them over and be hospitable
3. Make a plan to practice hospitality regularly.
