Sermons About Hospitality
Serving like Jesus
As followers of Jesus we are called to emulate the life and practice of Jesus. In the Gospel of Mark (10.45) Jesus tells us that he came not to be served but to serve; One of the greatest examples left for us of Jesus' servant heart is found in John 13 when we read that he got down on his knees and washed his disciples feet. If that doesn't turn our understanding of leadership on its head what will? As Jesus' apprentices the question is not if we will serve but where! We are all called to take up the towel and serve. Richard Foster, in his book, Celebration of Disciple, says that if the cross is a sign of submission then the towel is the sign of service. We are all called, says Foster, to the ministry of the towel.

God, in His grace, has shown great Hospitality to us in drawing us near by the blood of Christ. And now we, as His people, should be people of Hospitality. If our Eating and Hospitality is not about Christ, then it is sin. Our Eating and Hospitality should be about Thankfulness, Faith, Love, and it should be a Lifestyle.

Justice and Generosity for the City
Injustice and oppression in the covenant community dishonors God. Christ's ministry on our behalf frees us not only from guilt but the bondage of sin, particularly greed. He works in us that we might fear God and therefore become both just and generous. He works through us to free others from bondage through the gospel.

A Passion for Hospitality: Making Room for the Gospel
1 Peter 4:7-11 Have you noticed how busy life can be? The constant flow of our culture draws us away from living the mission of the glory of God in Christ. Peter uses the missional themes of God's glory, sound judgment and spiritual gifts to teach us that the best way to demonstrate the gospel is to make room around the kitchen table.
