1 Pet 4:9–10

4:9
Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10
Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good
stewards of the varied grace of God.

 

One thought:

 

Hospitality that might cause you to complain or grumble must be sacrificial indeed.

 

Three questions:

 

What would this have looked like to Peter’s first audience – taking in a brother/sister + family who had been evicted from their house or lost jobs because of their faith?

 

How do you feel about having others in your home?

 

What do you think this looks like today?

 

Prayer:

 

Acknowledge God’s hospitality towards us, inviting sinners to share in His Kingdom.

Give thanks for God’s grace and sacrificial service to us in Christ.

Ask God to help us practice radical hospitality.
