Message: Welcoming the Stranger
Speaker: Tim Bounds
Read:
1 Peter 1:3-5
Mark 5:21-34
Hebrews 13:1-2
Genesis 18:1-2
Reflect:
1. On a scale of 1-10, how comfortable are you talking to new people?
2. Who first made you feel like you belong to the family of God? How did they do it?
3. How is your life different since you started walking with Jesus?
4. What does it mean to you to have a "living faith"?
Do:
1. On a scale from 1-10, how interruptible are you? Why do you think that matters?
2. What does "stepping through the door" or taking your next step in faith look like?
Go Deeper:
Challenge: come early to church next week. See what kind of interactions you're able to have with new people or people you haven't seen in a while. Report back next time we meet.
Hospitality is not an event; it's an attitude.
