Entertaining vs Hospitality
"When you entertain, you bring honor and glory to yourself.
Showing hospitality brings honor and glory to God."
Think about it. Pride can easily sneak in when you entertain. The
dinner you serve shows off *your* cooking abilities. Everything is
clean and neat so guests are impressed with *your* home and
homemaking skills. And, if the evening is enjoyable, everyone
assumes it's because of *your* talents as a host or hostess. Why,all this focus on yourself can lead to an inflated ego if you're not
careful!

Entertaining vs Hospitality
Hospitality, on the other hand, is not about impressing anyone. It's
about being yourself and making your guests feel comfortable to
be themselves. It doesn't matter if you serve frozen pizza or if dust
bunnies are scurrying across your floors. Through your warmthand humility, guests feel better about themselves and closer to
God for having been there.

Entertaining vs Hospitality
The hospitality we offer to friends is not about making an
impression, but about making them feel loved. So often when I
prepare for people to be in my home, I spend all of my time
cleaning the house, preparing a perfect meal and makingeverything and everyone appear just right. But do I take a moment
to pray for our guests? Do I ask God to reveal to me any needs
they might have so that our family might have the opportunity to
minister to them? Not usually.

Entertaining vs Hospitality
Entertaining says, I want to impress you with my home, my clever
decorating, my cooking." Hospitality, seeking to minister, says,"This home is a gift from my Master. I use it as he desires."
Hospitality aims to serve.Entertaining puts things before people. "As soon as I get the house
finished, the living room decorated, my house cleaning done--then
I will start inviting people." Hospitality puts people first. "Nofurniture--we'll eat on the floor! The decorating may never get
done--you come anyway. The house is a mess--but you are
friends--come home with us.

Entertaining vs Hospitality
Entertaining subtly declares, "This home is mine, an expression of
my personality. Look, please, and admire." Hospitality whispers,
"What is mine is yours."Nick Campbell

The physical force of gravity pulls everything to the center of the earth.
In order to break free from earth-centered life, thousands and
thousands of pounds of energy have to push the space shuttle away
from the center. There is also a psychological force of gravity that
constantly pulls our thoughts and affections and physical actions
inward toward the center of our own selves and our own homes.
Therefore the most natural thing in the world is to neglect hospitality. It
is the path of least resistance. All we have to do is yield to the natural
gravity of our self-centered life, and the result will be a life so full of selfthat there is no room for hospitality. We will forget about it. And we will
neglect it. So the Bible bluntly says, "Stop that!" Build a launching pad.
Fill up your boosters. And blast out of your self-oriented routine.

This intermediary social nature of the porch is its strongest asset. The
porch is a physical space that is both personal to its owner and
hospitable to guests and strangers. It is a threshold of community:
neither a place of anonymity, nor of complete intimacy. It is a place
where new connections are wrought and old connections are
strengthened. One can be invited onto a front porch even as a
passerby; it provides opportunities for welcoming the stranger.
Contrast the front porch with the back deck, an architectural feature
that arose in American neighborhoods in the 1970s. The back deck ispurely private, a sanctuary into which only the friends and relatives of
the deck owner are admitted.

A Prerequisite for Leadership
1 Timothy 3:1-2
Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an
overseer, he desires a noble task. Now the overseer must be
above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

world's most dynamic restaurantorganizations, which includes eleven
unique dining establishments, each
at the top of its game.

Sow What?
Sitting down to a meal together draws a line around us. It
encloses us and, for a brief time, strengthens the bonds that
connect us with other members of our self-defined clan, shutting
out the rest of the world.

Hospitality Hinderances
Ownership verses stewardship.
1. Have I yielded all of my possession over to God and consecrated
them for His use?
2. Do I manage His recourses in such a way that He can use them
at any time?
Confusing hospitality with entertaining.
1. Do I focus too much on the way things look and the way things
taste?
2. Am I trying to impress the guest or help them find a place of
belonging?

Hospitality Hinderances
The fortress mentality
1. Do I keep others out because I am preoccupied with my current
social connections?
2. Do I think of my home only as a personal refuge?
Mistaking a command for a gift.
1. Have I justified not opening my home by thinking hospitality is a
spiritual gift that I dont have?
