From Series: "The Welcoming Table"

Romans 12 reminds us that true hospitality isn’t entertaining; it’s welcoming people into our real, imperfect lives as an overflow of God’s mercy to us. We’ll look at the barriers that make hospitality challenging and the way God, the ultimate Host, has always made room for His people. In a culture marked by isolation, simple acts of sharing life can become powerful expressions of worship and witness. Join us as we learn how opening our tables, and our lives, can reflect the generous welcome we’ve received from Christ.
