Word from God’s Word-Hospitality

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Hospitality.

In the Bible, the practice of hospitality flowed out of love for strangers. This was often expressed in providing lodging and food for those who served God in ministry.

Romans 12:13 instructs us to “share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”

In practicing hospitality, we get to serve others to meet their practical needs. It may be in the form of helping those in poverty, inviting a visitor at church to share a meal, or reaching out to a new neighbor. We also have the opportunity to support the ministry of God’s servants. The book of Third John says, “We ought to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.”
