Discipleship and Hospitality

by Rich Mendola

Luke 7:34

Summary

Jesus knew the importance of utilizing meals to engage in meaningful relationships and conversation. Often in American culture, our lives can be too fast-paced to enjoy meals with not only our friends, but strangers. We are called, however, to slow down and offer hospitality to strangers, providing opportunities to share the gospel. Learn what this practically looks like and how we can set up times to practice this in our discipleship.

Did you know that "the Son of Man came eating and drinking…" (Luke 7:34)?
