This is the first in a series of messages on the how the Presence of God changes the way we act, the way we see the world, the way we understand truth, the way we live. How now shall we live? In the Presence of the Holy God!

We have been talking about the Spiritual Practice of Hospitality mostly from the hosting angle. In this conversation, Joel visits with Nicki about why she is known as an amazing guest. The Bible has much to say about being a good guest so tune in as Nicki and Joel drop some wisdom about how that might look.

We have been talking about the Spiritual Practice of Hospitality, mostly from the viewpoint of being a host but the Bible also has much to say about being a guest. Today, Trevor wraps up this series with a teaching on what it means to be the kind of guest that bears witness to the work of Christ in our lives. Tune in as he points us to a more Biblical understanding of "guesting" and even gives some very practical suggestions for how we can live this idea out in our lives.

Joel visited with Kelly and Karen about their experience with fostering/adopting and the deep spiritual practice of hospitality that shows up. We shared a shorter video of that conversation in our weekend gathering and on social media but this is the extended audio version where the Coopers share in more detail just how God has and is changing them through this radical opening of their hearts and home to these children. 

Continuing our series, we unpack the stories of Abraham Entertaining Strangers from Genesis 18 and Jesus telling the story of The Good Samaritan in Luke 10. Both of these stories teach us about what God desires from us in terms of hospitality. Closing prayer written and shared by Chloe Guillot.

Biblical Hospitality has a whole lot more to do with how we treat strangers than friends. It's the kind of hospitality that transforms the unknown person into a guest and then into a known person. It's the kind of radical hospitality that God calls His people to.
