Questions for Reflection / Discussion:

1. How would you define Hospitality? Are there any specific moments, memories, or people that you connect that word with (either positively or negatively)?

2. Xenophilia (the Greek word translated as Hospitality) means love of the stranger. How does this change or reshape your concept of Hospitality just by its definition? Are there any practices of Hospitality that you’ve picked up over the years that you need to unlearn?

3. Read Luke 14:12-14. Would you say this teaching is hard or easy, and why? What challenges or road-blocks immediately present themselves within your mind? What would be required in removing or getting past these challenges?

4. How were we once the spiritually/physically/emotionally/relationally needy in our relationship with God? What changed, and how was it made possible, that we became no-longer strangers? How does keeping this foremost in our minds change the way we view the ‘stranger’ and the ‘needy’ in our own lives?

5. Take a minute or two to pray & think about those who are the Group B people in your life, those who may have physical, spiritual, relational needs, and write them down on a piece of paper or your phone. Now, think & pray about how to bless those individuals, and then write that down next to their names along with a timeline or specific dates to do aim to do this. Last, share with the group and pray for one another, as well as these individuals.
