Practicing Hospitality

Ever feel unseen—even in a crowded room? Scripture says proximity isn’t the same as presence. In Romans 12, we’re told to “share with the Lord’s people who are in need; practice hospitality.” This message unpacks biblical hospitality as more than Martha-Stewart vibes—it’s a heart posture rooted in the gospel, where Jesus welcomed us when we were outsiders and now sends us to welcome others. From “fences vs. wells” to the simple art of knowing your literal neighbors, we explore how Good News can “stay small as we grow” by becoming thermostats (not thermometers) who set the tone, love our neighbors, and make space at the table—without grumbling.
