Session 1 explores the biblical significance of hospitality, what it entails, those to whom it applies, and what it means to be called to practice God's radical hospitality in today's world. Our focus is not on the worthiness of the stranger, but rather on the faithfulness of the one providing the hospitality.

Participants will:

• Explore hospitality as an obligation that we have to all those we come into contact with-including strangers and those who make us feel uncomfortable.
• Share their own experiences of hospitality and lack of hospitality and the impact of those encounters.
• Learn to incorporate hospitality into their daily lives and into the daily life of the church community.

Here's a sneak peak at the multimedia content in this session.
