The Practice of Hospitality - Kim Butcher

Fully Alive in Christ

Check out Kim's message where she highlights how powerful hospitality and storytelling can be in sharing the message of Jesus. By simply being welcoming, Kim encourages us to pray for more compassion and to trust that God will create opportunities to share His love.

Here are the key takeaways from Kim's message:

1. Being a witness for Christ means sharing your personal testimony and experiences of God's love and work in your life. It's about demonstrating your faith through your words, actions, and attitude.
2. Compassion is key to effectively witnessing to others. We need to have a sympathetic consciousness of others' distress and a desire to help them, just as Jesus did. This comes from first receiving God's compassion for ourselves.
3. Practicing hospitality - inviting people into relationship, sharing meals, and genuinely listening to their stories - is a powerful way to witness and share the love of Christ. It opens the door for spiritual conversations and transformation.
4. The challenge is to start praying for specific people God is putting on our hearts, asking Him to give us His compassion for them. Then be open to the opportunities He provides to build relationships and share His love.
5. Witnessing is not about preaching or pushing religion, but about living out our faith authentically and allowing people to experience the difference Jesus makes through how we love them.
