Love Differently

from Bel Air Church · host Rev. Dr. Drew Sams

If you've been to Bel Air Church or listened to our sermons for the past 3 years, you've probably heard Dr. Sams use an intriguing word: xenophilia. Basically, this is love of stranger, and is embodied in the word "hospitality". This isn't the kind of "being nice to your house guests" hospitality (although that kind is included). It's the kind where you are so in touch with your identity in Christ, that you see Christ in the stranger, and therefore, extend uncommon love and sacrifice for their needs. It's the stuff church is made of. Have a listen to this sermon, and hear not only the gospel, but a great testimony from one of our newest parishioners of how xenophilia at Bel Air Church changed him.Resources for a life of following Jesus, every day, everywhere, with everyone.
