The Heart of Hospitality

Nov 20, 2022    Erin Wood

This week, Erin Wood continues our series Invited to the Table with a look at another story of Jesus and hospitality: the story of sisters named Mary and Martha. Jesus is invited to their home, and one sister chooses to sit at his feet while the other hustles to make everything perfect. When confronted by the busy sister, Jesus makes a surprising statement about who has made the better choice. As we approach the holidays, we will look at what this passage has to teach us about the opportunities for engagement in the hospitality of the season - with God and with others. Hospitality isn’t about perfection, but connection. How might God be calling us to connect with Him and others in this busy (and sometimes complicated, difficult, or overwhelming) season, and in our daily lives, through hospitality?
