Change the World Together

Are we truly practicing hospitality as a community of believers? This powerful message challenges us to rethink our approach to hospitality, reminding us that it's not just an individual effort, but a collective calling. Drawing from 1 Peter 4:9-11, we're urged to show hospitality to one another without grumbling, using our gifts to serve others. The key insight is that hospitality isn't about results or converting others, but about glorifying God through our actions. We're encouraged to build community within the church, find people to reach out to (starting with our literal neighbors), and invite them in. The message beautifully parallels the roles of lesser-known rock band members to our part in God's greater plan, emphasizing that we're more impactful together than alone. As we reflect on this, let's consider: How can we, as a church family, grow in hospitality in the coming year? Our efforts, no matter how small, can have ripple effects far beyond what we imagine – all for God's glory.
