Jesus showed hospitality in a number of ways that are great examples for us.

Here's Nancy DeMos Walgamuth.

I love the way that Jesus reached across social barriers, economic barriers, political barriers, racial barriers, to welcome and receive those that nobody else are received.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy the Moss-Waldon,

co-author of You Can Trust God to Write Your Story.

For April 19, 2024, I'm Dana Gresh.

We're in a classic series from Nancy on what the Bible has to say about hospitality. So far, it's been such a meaningful study, and I hope it's giving you a fresh perspective

of welcoming people into your home and life.

What you're about to hear from Nancy was recorded some years

ago, but I think you'll find it just as relevant today. Then, we'll hear from a woman who's

putting this kind of teaching into practice as she serves international students. First up,

here's Nancy. We've been talking for the last week and a half about the heart of hospitality and how

as we open our hearts and our homes to others, we reveal, we express the hospitable heart

of God.

We've seen in the scripture that we're commanded to be hospitable, that this is not an option,

this is not a choice, this is an obligation we have. We're to pursue

hospitality and we're to do it cheerfully, opening our hearts, opening our lives, opening

our homes to others. Now, starting today and into next week, I want us to look at some

of the practical how-toes of hospitality. And what does the scripture teach and what can we learn out of our own experience about

the how-toes of hospitality?

Today we want to look at the objects of our hospitality.

To whom should we extend hospitality?
