Biblical Hospitality: Hospitality & the Providence of God
In 1 Corinthians 10, the Apostle Pauls tells us God will provide “a way of escape” to those Christians who are tempted to sin. Where does this way of escape come from? Have you ever considered that you may be the “way of escape” God has appointed for your brother or sister in Christ?
Fasting & Feasting
Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Biblical Hospitality: Hospitality & Discipleship
Discipleship - that process by which we follow Jesus and become like him in following him - is a process which necessarily takes place in relationship. Relationship to God. Relationships with other Christians. And Biblical Hospitality is the most natural place for those relationships to flourish. Listen as Sam and Summer Behar share how Biblical Hospitality and Discipleship go hand-in-hand - at home and on the mission field.
The Lord’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, you have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you: Look with compassion upon the heartfelt desires of your servants, and purify our disordered affections, that we may behold your eternal glory in the face of Christ Jesus; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Biblical Hospitality: Sacramental Hospitality
Bread and Wine. Two very ordinary things. Yet, for Christians they are more than they appear. Through bread and wine Jesus offers us himself and a place at the Feast of Zion.
Love Your Enemies
Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities that may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Biblical Hospitality: Biblical Theology
The Big Picture of the Bible sheds light on how Hostility welcomes people all the way home.
Rending and Tending Our Hearts in the Season of Lent
Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations, and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Rooted & Fruitful in the Kingdom of God
We continue to look at the Sermon on the Mount and how the Indicatives of the Gospel (What the Gospel said is true about we who are in Christ) empower us to keep the Imperatives of the Gospel (those things which christians should do).
Biblical Hospitality: Living as Jesus would. Together.
In the first week of our discussion on Biblical Hospitality we define Biblical Hospitality in light of the Scriptures and how the world usually thinks about hospitality.

Crash Course on Bishops
Who are Bishops and what do they do? Why would anyone want to have a bishop? And what about all the clothes they wear?
Salt and Light
As we make our way through Mathew’s Gospel we’ll find it revolves around five discourses of Jesus. We continue considering the Sermon on the Mount, learning how we can be salt and light in a world of darkness and decay.
What is the good life?
As we make our way through Mathew’s Gospel we’ll find it revolves around five discourses of Jesus. Today we commence the first of those blocks of teaching with the Greater Sermon ever preached, The Sermon on the Mount. As Jesus preaches we’ll condor four questions which he is addressing: What is Reality? Who is well off? Who is a truly good person? How does one become a truly good person?
