Tonight, Pastor Hillman, Jr. will continue the introduction to our Fall book study, “Saved by Faith and Hospitality” by Joshua W. Tripp. We invite you to join us as we embark upon this journey of radical hospitality. What better time to open our hearts up to this loving message as we prepare for the changing season!
Here’s more on our new book study:
Too few Christians today, says Joshua Jipp, understand hospitality to strangers and the marginalized as an essential part of the church’s identity. In this book Jipp argues that God’s relationship to his people is fundamentally an act of hospitality to strangers, and that divine and human hospitality together are thus at the very heart of Christian faith.
Jipp first provides a thorough interpretation of the major biblical texts related to the practice of hospitality to strangers, considering especially how these texts portray Christ as the divine host who extends God’s welcome to all people. Jipp then invites readers to consider how God’s hospitality sets the pattern for human hospitality, offering suggestions on how the practice of welcoming strangers can guide the church in its engagement with current social challenges—immigration, incarceration, racism, and more.
