SESSION 4: Hospitality that Heals

Theme: Practicing table-centered mission Tied to: Luke 14 Focus: Healing power of presence and invitation

• Devotional: Jesus says the kingdom is like a banquet—where the overlooked are honored. Mission often begins around the table. You don’t need a script—you need a seat open for someone else.

• Group Discussion:

• What fears or barriers do you have around inviting others in?

• Who in your life needs to experience welcome, not argument?

• What could “hospitality as mission” look like in your home?

• Shared Practice: Plan and host a simple Alpha-style dinner or hospitality night for 1–2 non-church friends. Keep it relational, not preachy.

• Individual Practice: Pray daily: “God, who do you want me to welcome this week?” Then reach out with a meal, coffee, or walk.
