Devoted to Hospitality

Monday, March 03, 2008

Opening our homes, making meals, serving guests--what do these old fashion skills have to do with leadership? We usually think more in terms of debating prowess, consensus building, and fund raising. The Apostle Paul was, by the Spirit, assigned the task of advising young churches in the first century how to choose their leaders, and he placed "devoted to hospitality" on the list. If our churches are going to feel more like warm homes than efficient corporate headquarters, we need to listen again to what this wise, old Apostle has to say about the need for a leader to open his heart and his home to even strangers. Listen this week to my message "Devoted to Hospitality" from Ephesians 6:1 and I Timothy 3:2.

This message references: Ephesians 6:1, 1 Timothy 3:2

About Dave Wyrtzen

Above everything else Dave Wyrtzen is a pastor-teacher. In 1973 he sat together with about sixteen others in a small town thirty miles southwest of Dallas. These sixteen wanted someone to simply open up the pages of Scripture on a Sunday morning, help them to hear the truth, and then train them on how to live it in the marketplace. Dave is still their pastor-teacher and Midlothian Bible Church has grown into a mature church.The Spirit of God has used this church family to generate several other churches in the southwest section of Dallas.

He received both his Th M and Th D from Dallas Seminary and is an adjunct faculty member for the Seminary. Dave speaks regularly for Bible Conferences and in many foreign countries. Dave's greatest joy is his wife, Mary, their eight children (counting spouses) and eight grandkids. His life goal is to communicate God's truth through the power of the Spirit in practical, and skillful ways. Since 1973 Dave has faithfully pastored in Midlothian and through Truth Encounter we invite you to join us for his unique depth, passion, and practicality. This Bible teaching is rooted in solid study but lives in the office, classroom, and ball field.
