ideas for Christian hospitality

Posted October 5, 2009 * Comments(2)

A few months ago, our pastor preached a message on how to develop biblical hospitality in your home from 3 John 5-8. He gave us some practical suggestions for how we can begin implementing hospitality. I’m posting those ideas here for my own remembrance and to share with others.

  1. Make a list of people: people who are brothers and sisters, but are still strangers
  2. Clean your house on Saturday
  3. Collect and file inexpensive recipes
  4. Purchase a guest book
  5. Be interested in lives. Come up with questions to ask them.
  6. Set aside a “prophets room” in order to be able house people.
  7. Remember you are not there to entertain, but invite them into your lives.
