The word "hospitality" brings to mind tables filled with pastries and good coffee. Offering food to friends is a wonderful ministry indeed, but the biblical concept of hospitality is much deeper and more significant. In these studies by Patty Pell, you'll discover the Old Testament call to hospitality as the distinguishing feature of those who are in relationship with God, the outward-focused expression of the grace and provision that one has received from God. From the Old Testament we look at Hosting The Traveller, Loving Out of Remembrance and a Heart for Hospitality. In the New Testament the extension of life, provision and protection is expanded as Jesus unpacks image after image of the kingdom of God in the language of host and guests, which includes Destroying Barriers, Feasting and Dwelling in Service Come and discover God's call to hospitality.
