What happens when you visit the Full Gospel Church of Seoul, South Korea? Three people greet you at the door. One of them becomes your personal host for the service helping you find your place and sitting with you. Your host will take you to the church bookstore after the service and insist on buying gifts for your children, then they offer to take you to lunch. One of the reasons this 850,000 member church has growth to staggering proportions is the intentionality they give to hospitality. In this study, we learn God's vision for hospitality in the church.

TopicsHospitality, Friendships

John and Francis Canning had an unexpected guest at their wedding in England at Manchester Town Hall. As they stood in disbelief, Queen Elizabeth appeared, shook their hands and congratulated them on their marriage. You never know who will show up for dinner. In Genesis 18, Jesus—a guest more infamous than the Queen mother, shows up to have lunch with Abraham and Sarah. Like an encouraging meal with an old friend, Jesus encourages Abraham, Sarah and us that no matter the obstacles we face, he is more than capable of overcoming them.
