A Holiday of Hospitality
LAdies, It was great to see you all there tonight. You each are a great source of encouragement to me and I so enjoy getting to know you. I so hope you open your hearts and homes to Bibical Hospitality and enjoy a great holiday season.
Following is the Spiritual Entertaining Time Table discussed tonight and the hospitality acrostic:
A Person Of Christian Character Who Practices Biblical Hospitality Is . . .
H—Humble
Humility is the opposite of self-sufficiency and is a necessary prerequisite if I am going to be of service to my heavenly Father. I can exercise humility by choosing to step out of my "comfort zone" and invite individuals into my home with whom I may not be totally at ease or those who may have unrealistic expectations about the event (1 Pet 5:5b).
O—Obedient
The primary evidence that individuals are Christians is their choice to obey all of their Father's commands. I demonstrate obedience by obeying all of my Father's commands that focus on hospitality (1 Sam 15:22b).
S—Sincere
"Genuine," as well as an "absence of deceit or hypocrisy," describes sincere actions. I will "stay on my knees" (pray) until I can extend sincere invitations (2 Cor 1:12).
P—Prayerful
Prayer—that is, communicating with my heavenly Father, shows my desire for his direction about and dependence on him for the event. I resolve to pray about all aspects of the events that I plan (1 Thess 5:17).
I—Interested in Integrity
Integrity is choosing to do what is right when given a choice between right and wrong, even when it is unpopular. I will choose to adhere to my heavenly Father's standards, regardless of what the mainstream of society is doing (Ps 25:21).
T—Trustworthy
A trustworthy home provides an ambience of trust and confidence. I will study Elizabeth's life (Luke 1:39-56) as a model for my life (Prov 31:11).
A—Adopted into God's Family
Adoption is making a conscious choice legally to integrate an individual into another's home and nurturing him/her as if he/she were their biological child. I will choose, through the strength of the Holy Spirit, to behave in a way that reflects my royal heritage, so that my guests will observe a bit of "heaven on earth" in my home (Rom 8:15).
L—Led by the Spirit
Being led by the Spirit literally means keeping in step with the Holy Spirit. I will purpose to allow the Spirit to lead me so I will not carry out the desire of my flesh (Rom 8:14; Gal 5:16).
I—Instrumental in Producing Righteousness
Instrumental in producing righteousness suggests bringing "every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor 10:5) and refusing to fret or worry about anything (Phil 4:6-8). I must control what I think about and purpose to be spiritually renewed by humbly presenting my concerns to my loving heavenly Father—even when the hospitality event appears to be beyond my capabilities (Rom 6:13).
T—Thankful
Being thankful is an act of the will that generates the giving of thanks to God—regardless of the circumstances. I choose to learn to be content regardless of my circumstances (Phil 2:11b; Col 3:15).
Spiritual Entertainment Timetable
As I physically
Spiritually I will
Prepare my guest list.
Thank my heavenly Father that I am included on the guest list for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:7).
Create my menu.
Bring to mind God's providential care of me (Ps 104:27; 136:25; 145:15-16).
Prepare my time schedule.
Evaluate my use of time in relation to the brevity of life (Ps 90:12).
Grocery shop.
Recall that I was purchased with a price (I Cor 6:19-20).
Decide on my table linens.
Recall that God gave Moses specific instructions for the table appointments for the tabernacle including the color of the table linens (Num 4:7-10).
Select my table appointments (china, silver, glassware,etc.).
Focus on being a vessel of honor (2 Tim 2:21).
Make certain that all of my table appointments are spotless.
Examine my heart to ensure that it is clean (Ps 24:4; 51:10).
Sacrifice my time and energy to clean my home and prepare the meal.
Remind myself of Christ's sacrifice for me (Luke 24:44-47).
Serve my guests.
Reflect on Christ's example of servanthood (John 13:1-20).
Intentionally direct the conversation in wholesome avenues.
Model the speech of the Wise Woman (Prov 31:26).
Tidy my home after the event.
Think about the process of cleansing from sin (I John 1:7,9).
