Genuine Hospitality

Be hospitable to one another without complaint." 1 Peter 4:9

Hospitality from a neighbor conveys community. There is something special in receiving hospitality when you move into a new neighborhood. How much more should we show hospitality to our spiritual family? There are times when we have needs, and those are times when your small group can rally around you. The need may be as simple as providing some groceries for a family, or opening your home for dinner, or something else, but doing it all without complaining. You will find that such acts of hospitality open the door to authentic relationships and express the love of Christ.

What opportunities do you have around you to extend hospitality to others? Are any of those opportunities ones that only pertain to you, and, if so, how can you meet them? Finally, what are some ways that your small group can assist someone in need?
