In this message, Andy opens Luke 10 and the parable of the Good Samaritan to explore something central to the church's heritage but easy to overlook — hospitality. Drawing on his years in the coffee industry, the extraordinary story of Gander, Newfoundland (nicknamed "Casserole City" after housing 6,000 stranded passengers post-9/11), and the early church's radical practice of philozenia — literally, love of strangers. Andy shows how agape love flowing through everyday hospitality has always been one of the church's most powerful witnesses. In a culture marked by isolation and loneliness, he calls us to keep embracing the kind of welcome that turns strangers into neighbours, and reminds us that when we open our lives, people meet the God who first welcomed us.
