I’m continuing this week a series on Christian Hospitality.
The Bible has some examples of hospitality, both positive and negative. It is a good practice to review these on your own and glean your own insight into them.

- Genesis 20:4-15
- 1 Kings 17:10-24
- Luke 19:1-10
- Acts 16:14-15
- Acts 28:2
Negative Examples of Biblical Hospitality
- Numbers 20:18-21
- Numbers 21:21-31
- Judges 19:15
- 1 Samuel 25:10-38
- Luke 9:51-56
- Luke 10:30-37
Biblical Hospitality Verses:
| Matthew 25:34-43 | Sheep and Goats |
| Luke 10:30-37 | Good Samaritan |
| Acts 4:32-38 | “had everything in common” |
| Romans 12:13 | “practice hospitality” |
| Romans 16:1-23 | Greetings and “who’s hospitality I enjoy” |

Thanks for teaching on hospitality. It’s one of the more neglected arts in the church. As a person who has moved a great deal, I cherish anyone who takes time out of their busy life to let me in. I’ve written on my website of a woman who decided to greet every new couple in their small community. After a few years she had greeted one thousand and brought many to a Bible study.
