We are and make disciples – Luke 10:1-16
I am talking tonight about the important value of our church: We are and make disciples. And one can say a lot about this. Discipleship has to do with the way we have fellowship with the Lord. It has to do with the Bible. It has to do with the Holy Spirit. It has to do with our lifestyle. It has to do with the way we reach out and care.
But I want to connect it today to one aspect on the basis of a text that brings everything together, which helps us understand that who we are and what we do in the process of discipleship can hardly be explained better as with the concept of hospitality.
So I have chosen one of the master stories about discipleship that puts the whole idea of hospitality on the table, and specifically the hospitality of those that receive us, the people to whom we reach out. For it is through hospitality that we receive the peace and fellowship of God. And that is the way it was through the centuries.
We read Luke 10: 1-16. (more…)
