Our Hospitable House of Prayer

God calls the church to be a House of Prayer for all people. This challenges us to examine our practices of hospitality which is about creating a welcoming space for others—especially those who have been harmed and excluded. The conclusion of our parable and our series will challenge us to move beyond compassion felt in our guts and look at the compassion of our covenantal relationship with God.

Scripture References: Luke 10:25-37, Isaiah 56:1-12

From Series: "From Wounding to Welcome"

This series will provide an in-depth look into the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Through this teaching of Jesus, we will explore practical ways we can address and reconcile harms in our personal and corporate histories. We will explore what the story has to do with our lives today as we try to be a faithful witnesses to the redeeming Love of God in our homes, within our communities, and among our perceived enemies.
