MODULE 8:
Hospitality

OUTCOME: The disciple realizes the joy of creating belonging in the family of God.
When we think of “hospitality,” we might think of being welcomed into someone’s home for a nice meal. This is certainly a crucial part of hospitality—welcoming others to our table and serving them. Few things create community better than a shared meal. However, hospitality is not only about inviting people to our house. It’s about living a life of openness to others and inviting them to the family of God.

This module will make space for us to develop the habit of welcoming others (who are often not like us) into our lives. For a Christian to live a life of hospitality is to live the life of an evangelist: always inviting people to have a seat at God’s table.
