Well, good morning to all of you. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. And thank you for Being here today to worship, with us through song and prayer, and now to worship God by opening our ears to, to Him and allowing him to speak to us through His word. And with that intent in mind, let me invite you to turn in your Bibles to Romans chapter 12.
Romans chapter 12 for our time of study in God's word this morning, we're in a section of, of, of Romans 12, where we're learning about how to walk in agape love, and Paul is, is very careful with, very deliberate strokes of the brush to describe for us what, what walking in agape love actually looks like. And so we're learning how to love one another in this, this passage. And so if you want to give a title to the message this morning, it would be loving one another, Part 7, but our focus today will be on one aspect of agape love, and that is practicing hospitality. Our entire message this morning will be on the two words that end Romans 12:13, where Paul says, practicing.
Hospitality. before we get underway, In looking at the passage in Romans 12, let me just, throw a few facts your way when it comes to the subject of hospitality. first of all, a quick and partial definition of hospitality. We'll fill in and complete this definition a little bit later in, in the message, but for now, hospitality.
Speaks of reaching out to and welcoming others into your life and into your home. So hospitality is more than what you do with your home. It speaks of having a hospitable disposition towards other people, where you, you behave towards people in a way that conveys to them, I've got room in my life for you. I've got room in my heart for you, and so you are welcoming to them....
