Ep. 117 | The Table: The "How" Matters
from The Modern Methodist Hosted by Resurrection GMC
This week, challenge yourself to practice hospitality that makes you uncomfortable. Look for opportunities to extend kindness, welcome, or help to someone outside your usual circle - someone who can't repay you or benefit you in return. Maybe it's the person at work who seems difficult, the neighbor you've never talked to, or someone at church who doesn't fit your typical friend group. Practice hospitality without strings attached, expecting nothing in return except the blessing that comes from obedience to Christ's teaching. Ask yourself these questions: Who in my life represents the "out group" that I've been avoiding? What expectations do I carry that rob me of gratitude when receiving hospitality from others? How can I make room at my table - literally or figuratively - for someone who cannot repay me? Am I willing to be uncomfortable for the sake of showing Christ's love to others? Remember, we were once the outsiders, the enemies, the ones who couldn't repay God's kindness. Yet He made Himself uncomfortable to welcome us. Now we're called to do the same for others.
