Hospitality is really important to me. As a family, we really enjoy welcoming others around our table! This is the first of a series of posts exploring the value and importance of Christian hospitality. As always, scripture is e best place to start, and there are certainly no shortage of references to hospitality in both the Old and New Testament. Did you know that in the book of Acts alone there are 30 direct references to hospitality being given and received? So, here are a few to get us started...
Hebrews 13:2 do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
1 Peter 4:9 ShOw hospitality to one another without grumbling.
Romans 12:13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
Leviticus 19:34 You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Have a look through these, too...

Romans 16:2
