Hospitality Thru Equipping and Envangelism

As we begin our third week practicing hospitality we learn it must begin in our home and that light grows and reaches out into the world with 

God's love for His creation.

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, 

clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, 

gentleness and patience.    Colossians  3:12

We learned today how to plan ahead for meals, prepare food in advance and store in the freezer. We can save considerable time and money.

Fellowship and food always seem to go together. 

What a blessing it is to share with these ladies our new recipes.

HOSPITALITY WITH A SERVANT'S HEART

Most importantly, love each other deeply, because love will cause many sins to be forgiven.  Open your homes to each other, without complaining. Each of you has received a gift to use to serve others.  Be good servants of God’s various gifts of grace.   I Peter 4: 8-10

As we learn how to develop a servant's heart for those God places in our path we become more aware of the people around us that are in need of 

God's gracious hospitality.

This week we explored how we could use beans and grains to stretch our food budget to serve others. Here are our culinary creations.

***GRACIOUS HOSPITALITY*** FALL 2015

LOVE

9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.  Romans 12:9-13 (NIV)

We begin our study of gracious hospitality with the exploration of fresh herbs and spices that flavor our foods.  A simple dish can be changed completely just by changing the herbs we choose.
