Is Your Home Open to Guests?

DAY 309
8-9-10
ACTS 26-28


Good Morning!

The end of Acts gives us a glimpse of Paul’s last days. Even though Paul is eventually put to death, at least at this point, he is free to share the gospel of Christ. Notice how he does it – he used hospitality and took people into his home. The missionary journeys are over; but the mission continued.

(Acts 28:30-31) For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.

When was the last time you practiced Christian hospitality? God blesses us with wealth and possessions to share and use to his glory – obviously our homes be must a part of our sharing. Whether it’s having people over for a meal; a Bible study; or just to hang out and watch a movie; practicing hospitality is a wonderful way to reach out and share your heart for Jesus.

Open your heart and your door!

Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others. (1 Peter 4:8-10)
