MEN WHO ENTERTAIN ANGELS Part 1: The Foundations of Hospitality

What does real hospitality look like? In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon opens Genesis 18 and shows that hospitality is not a soft, optional extra. It is a masculine Christian duty rooted in the very character of God. Abraham welcomed strangers under the oaks of Mamre, and in doing so became a model for faithful men everywhere. This first installment lays the groundwork. Joseph defines biblical hospitality as love for the stranger expressed through welcome, provision, and protection under rightful authority. He traces that theme from Eden to Christ, showing that hospitality begins with God Himself. He also argues that this duty is woven into creation, written on the heart, and required of Christian men, families and churches. This is a call to recover real Christian hospitality in a world of performance, pride, and counterfeit virtue.
