Sue Donaldson joins Amber to discuss why she practices hospitality, why hospitality is more than simply entertaining and how extending an invitation is an opportunity to show people Jesus.
Questions Sue and Amber Discuss:“You’re there to serve…We focus on the guests.”
“You do hospitality to serve Jesus, but you also make friends and build your own community.”
“Pray for a hospitable heart.”
“If we feel like we’re being dragged along by the Holy Spirit we need to ask for a heart of willingness.”
“Start small, you just invite one person.”
“God’s job is to save people. Our job is to invite people to our tables, and perhaps for the first time they will meet Jesus.”
“It’s God’s motivation that gets me to do all sorts of hard things.”
“I do conversation starters at almost every gathering…It’s almost like you don’t have to be responsible for being everybody’s best friend.”
“I love to be a networker, but for God’s sake not to make me popular.”
“I can’t save anybody, but I can introduce them to the One who sees them and that’s what hospitality is. It’s not showing off my matching napkins or placemats or fresh flowers.”
“The biblical definition of hospitality is welcoming strangers.”
