Luke 10:25-37
“Hospitality”
Rev. Benjamin Wines
Today is the twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost. Rev. Benjamin Wines continues the Sermon Series, Spiritual Disciplines. This week’s message is entitled, “Hospitality”. Our Scripture passage comes from Luke 10:25-37 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 23. We look forward to joining you in this time of Worship.
Call to Worship (from Psalm 23)
Leader: The Lord is my shepherd
People: I shall not want.
Leader: He makes me lie down in green pastures;
People: He leads me beside still waters;
Leader: He restores my soul.
People: He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.
Leader: Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
People: I fear no evil, for you are with me;
Leader: Your rod and your staff—they comfort me.
People: You prepare a table before me,
Leader: In the presence of my enemies;
People: You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Leader: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
People: All the days of my life.
Leader: And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
People: My whole life long.
Questions for Further Reflection:
Jesus challenges his listeners to find opportunities to love others in unexpected moments.
What does our secular culture teach us hospitality is?
How does faith in God reshape that expectation?
