Biblical Hospitality At Church

How to Genuinely Love and Show Hospitality At Church

Are You Showing Hospitality at Church?

Show hospitality everywhere…and especially at church? How do we genuinely love people and follow Christ’s example of showing hospitality, in our home and…at church? As I prayed over what to share with you this week and was asking the Lord what His message was for you, a Bible passage popped into my head.

This is a post with a big thought, or, at least, it was a big thought for me.

I’d like to expand your thinking about where hospitality takes place. I propose to you that Hospitality doesn’t take place only in the home.

If you’ve never thought of it before, I want you to be aware that you can and should show hospitality outside your home–and, I would challenge you to show hospitality everywhere.

How to be Prepared To Show Hospitality At Church

Am I Focused On Myself Or Do I Show Hospitality At Church

You should show hospitality, which is to say, to show the love of Christ, everywhere. There are many times that you’re the one who is, technically “at home,” and you can make a real difference in the life and experience of a “new person” or “outsider,” visiting! When they find out you’re a Christian, after experiencing your love, what will your actions say about what it means to be a Christian, and about Christ? Have you thought of how you honor Christ’s reputation?

This new person can be anyone from the new mom attending your moms’ group to the person from another country experiencing a completely foreign culture.

You’re The Regular If You’ve Been There Twice

Whenever you’re in a setting where you have been there more than once, you’re basically now a “regular,” and if there’s a visitor or new person there, you can make them feel “at home” by welcoming them, getting to know them a little, and answering any questions they have, or giving them a few tips on how to settle in and what they can expect.
