Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, ‘Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.’ MARK 9:35 (NIV)

THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH & CULTURE: Service & Hospitality

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. CS LEWIS

It’s hard to live out our faith in a world where the Christian life seems to be counter to the culture we live in. But together we can help one another navigate those challenging situations where the people we’re seeking to minister to may not understand or may think we are just plain weird.

Over the next three weeks, we’ll be looking at three topics that many may find challenging, difficult, and awkward when trying to live out our faith, and what we believe, in a broken world.

This week we’re looking at service and hospitality. For some, this comes easily but others find this difficult. Also, the practice of service outside the church, to many unbelievers, is odd and confronting. Although we may be seen as different (we are supposed to be), these acts of service and hospitality give us an opportunity to share experiences of God’s love.

May you grow and learn from our contributors’ experience and, more importantly, be encouraged by the words of our servant King.
