The Hospitable Ones

Is your home simply a place where you live, or could it become a place where God works? In this message from Acts 16, Pastor Pete looks at the remarkable story of Lydia, whose simple invitation, "Come and stay at my house," became the beginning of something far greater than she could have imagined. Discover how biblical hospitality is much more than entertaining guests. It is making room for people so God can make an eternal difference.In a culture that values privacy and busyness, the early church used ordinary homes to spread the extraordinary message of the Gospel. Prayer happened in homes. Discipleship happened in homes. Evangelism happened in homes. Churches were born in homes.Most importantly, you'll hear about the greatest act of hospitality in history, when Jesus Christ made a way for sinners to be welcomed into the family of God and invited to His eternal table.
