References: Ephesians 6

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.
