Sermon Series June 8th to June 29th
Holy Hospitality
We want to make a difference in our world, but how? Jesus shows us a beautiful, simple, and powerful way to be the light: hospitality. Your very own living-room, deck, yard, or kitchen table can become the place of healing and hope, a true city on a hill. Hospitality has always been the foundation of the church because it makes space for proximity, friendship, and living out the Good News of Jesus. Pour a drink, pass the salsa, and know that Jesus is there with you, too.

Invitation to Hospitality
When God says, “you shall be holy” it’s a declaration. You will be part of my love. You will be part of my hospitable plan to make things right. You will relearn how valuable you are, and how precious your neighbours are, and how good your world is. You will be mine, my very own friend, child, beloved and welcomed at my table. You will open your door, once closed, with me, I’ll show you how, and we will once again be together, working side by side, to make all that is dark, bright. All that is dead, alive. All that is left out, welcomed at the table again. This is holiness. You shall be holy as I am holy.
