Anyone who's been to Disney World has experienced some pretty amazing hospitality. Disney really gets hospitality. As followers of Christ we are also called to live a life of hospitality — a hospitality even more radical than Disney's. In this episode we'll explore Scripture for evidence of the radical hospitality of Christ and share stories of where we've experienced it in our own lives.

Questions for Personal or Group Reflection:

What's the best hospitality you've ever received?

Why was that act of hospitality so meaningful? How did it make you feel?

When you think about the hospitality Christ lived and taught, what are the most challenging aspects of his teaching for you?

Have you ever thought about how love and hospitality are the actions of freeing someone? How does that image open your mind up to what loving acts of hospitality might look like in your life?

Where do you need to be more hospitable?

What is one thing you can do today to share the hospitality of Christ with another person?
