hospitable

Part 2 of this 2 part message takes us back in to 1 Corinthians chapters 2 and 3 as we consider how the house of the Holy Spirit (that’s us!) is a Holy House and a Hospitable House. Will talks about some keys for us to build well and be a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.

People who attend Church may do so out of faith, or tradition, or even out of obligation, but inside everyone is a desire to experience God. As we deep dive into the story of the woman of Shunem from our series, Hospitable, we uncover a desire for the presence of God. Whether that desire is large or small, we can all learn something about continuing to be hospitable to our heavenly Father.

As we conclude our series Hospitable, we come to the final portion of the story of the woman of Shunem. She's hosted the Prophet, been given a son, and then tragedy strikes. In the wake of Her tragedy we find principles to help us navigate our own pain. When we're under attack, when what has been promised seems to have died, God steps in and does the impossible.

As we continue our series Hospitable, we journey further into the story of the woman of Shunem. After creating a place to host the Prophet, He asks her, "What can I do for you?" Her hospitality lead to an encounter that would change her life forever. It can change yours too!

The calendar either runs you, or you run it. In the walk of a Christian, it can be easy to feel the need to fill our schedule to make the most of our time on earth. Yet, what's more important than always being busy, is making the time to be present with the Lord.

In the first week of our series Hospitable, we take a look at an Old Testament story showcasing the importance of hosting the presence of the Lord. A woman's simple act of hosting a prophet teaches us how to prioritize Jesus over everything else.

Jesus is standing at the tomb of Lazarus with onlookers from various backgrounds and with differing motives. In front of them all, Jesus showcases His power and glory by telling the people to remove the stone, and calling out to Lazarus. Despite doubts, the people operated in faith to remove the stone, and then helped their resurrected friend out of his graveclothes. We too can see lives impacted for Jesus, if we only operate in faith.

When Jesus shows up on the scene a few days after the death of Lazarus, He finds His friends grieving. They're lament over Lazarus and even doubt and apparent frustration with Jesus caused Him to react in a way not seen. He wept. Even though Jesus knew how the story would end, that did not mean He was numb to the pain experienced by His friends.

The death of Lazarus was an important moment in Jesus' ministry and showcased His power and glory. Today, though, is all about the lead up to this historic moment. Jesus was entering a place that recently tried to stone Him, but because there were people who needed Him and were hospitable to Him, He disregarded the danger.

For this episode, we have the impressive Attorney Regal Olivia from the Philippines who is a lawyer, a human rights activist, a fashion icon, a loving parent and the list goes on.  This is PART one of a two-part piece. 

The conversation begins in Mandaue City known as the ‘Gay town of the Philippine's that has a history of supporting the LGBT community.  This city is the first to host a trans pageant, support and fund gay rights advocacy, and pass an ordinance to protect diverse members of the LGBT community. On the topic of success, Regal does not consider herself successful. She believes it's a long road ahead and mentions that it's the people you meet who will define your journey. To her, success comes with contentment and she is happy for the loving and supportful relationships she has. The conversation turns to culture, where Regal shares with us her past visits to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, and mentions a sisterhood city in Ayabe, Kyoto. As well as her passion for fashion, Regal wants to let the listeners know the warmth and positivity of the Philippines alongside the most beautiful beaches, women, foods, entertainment, and so on. The talk covers the TedTalk by Regal and explains the reasons masks people wear to survive, in this case for transpeople who it becomes more difficult to camouflage within a society with conservative laws and policies that restrict the freedom to be oneself as an LGBT individual.
