Today's Verse: Hebrews 13:2

What do you do to welcome new neighbors into your neighborhood or apartment complex?
How warmly do you personally welcome visitors at your church gatherings or in your Bible study group?
When was the last time you invited someone new from your congregation over for dinner or included them in a gathering of your Christian friends?
While some have the gift of hospitality, all of us need to be warm and open to folks we don't know who have joined us for Christian worship, ministry, fellowship, or moved into our neighborhood and need new friends. Why not make a commitment to meet and welcome one new person each week? In a cold, impersonal world, we can make a huge difference in the lives of those seeking the shelter and grace of Jesus and his people. Our worship without hospitality is not authentic worship (Hebrews 12:28-29, 13:15-16).
