Extending The Table
People We Don't Like
November 18, 2018 • Philip Bassham
Pastor Philip concludes our Thanksgiving series, "Extending the Table," with a message about showing hospitality to people who have hurt us and we might view as an enemy. We have to remember, when Jesus shares the last meal with his disciples, the one who he knew would betray him was invited to this dinner along with the other disciples. What does this say about how we are to welcome our enemies?

It's not always easy to be loving and welcoming to people different from us. But in a world with 7 billion people chances are you will meet someone that is hard to welcome and hard to love. We love them anyways. "The heart of hospitality is when people leave your home, they should feel better about themselves, not better about you." Author Unknown

"Not everyone can serve in a foreign land, lead a relief effort, or volunteer at the downtown soup kitchen. But who can't be hospitable? Do you have a front door? A table? Chairs? Bread and meat for sandwiches? Congratulations! You just qualified to serve in the most ancient of ministries: hospitality." Max Lucado - Outlive Your Life
