Pastors have a biblical expectation and responsibility to welcome guests into their homes. There is not a biblical expectation that they become extravagant hosts or live in a particular kind or size of home. There is not a biblical expectation that pastors always have people in their home. But, there is a biblical expectation that the homes of pastors be open to guests and that they welcome them with joy.
If you are not a pastor, you’re not off the hook. Hospitality is a biblical expectation for all of God’s children. Just consider 1 Peter 4:9, “Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.”
If hospitality is a struggle for you or if you just don’t know how to begin making your home more hospitable, this podcast is a good place for you to begin. I’ve put together a list of a few tips to help you begin to make your home (and yourself) more hospitable.
