Welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
— Romans 15:7 —
A few months ago I wrote about the importance of hospitality and five ways to show hospitality in the church. Today, I want to offer five more.
While much hospitality focuses on individuals or families opening their homes to others, a vital practice which enables “house churches” to meet (e.g., Romans 16:5; 1 Corinthians 16:19), I am focusing attention on churches gathering outside of the home. Thus, spring-boarding from 1 Corinthians 16, a passage overflowing with gospel labor, here are five more ways we can pursue hospitality in the church.
