The Benefits of Hospitality

Romans 12:9-13

Christians are called to be hospitable. Hospitality is simply the love of strangers. We can express our love for strangers by simply introducing ourselves and getting to know them. Although hospitality sometimes comes at a cost, it has many benefits. Specifically, hospitality affords for unity and fellowship among the body and for the exercise of spiritual gifts. In addition, hospitality towards those who don’t know Christ is a great opportunity for evangelism.

The Practice of Hospitality

Romans 12:9-21

“Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality” (Romans 12:10-13).

No Other Gods

Exodus 20:1-3: “And God spoke all these words, saying: ‘I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.'”
