Title: Be Hospitable
Memorize: Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. 1 Peter 4:9 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: 1 Peter 4:9-10 (Nkjv)
[9] Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
[10] As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Message:
Hospitality is the duty of every Christian because it encapsulates the central message of Christianity which is love.
I can’t say that I truly love you if I don’t give to you, help you, care for you, or show concern about your wellbeing.
This was the reason Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 22:37- 39).
Beloved, you should see every encounter that you have with people as opportunities to show them the love of God.
Father Abraham’s hospitality in hosting the three men that passed by his tent sealed God’s promise to give him a child (Genesis 18:1-10). Your miracles will also come when you help others.
Key Point:
Give to someone who is in need around you today.
HYMN 19 – THERE’S NOT A FRIEND LIKE THE LOWLY JESUS
1. There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus–
No, not one! no, not one!
CHORUS:
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus–
No, not one! no, not one!
2 No friend like Him is so high and holy–
No, not one! no, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly–
No, not one! no, not one!
3 There’s not an hour that He is not near us –
No, not one! no, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us–
No, not one! no, not one!
4. Did ever saint find this friend forsake him?
No not one! no not one!
Or sinner find that he would not take him?
No not one! no not one!
5. Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! no, not one!
Will He refuse us a home in heaven?
No, not one! no, not one!
