Witnessing — Practice Hospitality
Message by Dr Loong Aphichai, 20 Sep 2026, 10am service
Main Passage: Luke 19:1–10; Luke 7:33–34; Romans 12:13 (NIV)

1. 1. Jesus welcomed Zacchaeus before Zacchaeus changed.
      What does this teach us about the relationship between grace, acceptance, and transformation? Is there someone you find difficult to welcome because of their background, reputation, or choices?
   2. “Hospitality is not entertaining. It is welcoming.”
      What is the difference between entertaining people and practising biblical hospitality? What might hospitality look like in your everyday life: at home, at work, in church, or even over a simple coffee?
   3. This week: pray for one person, invite one person, listen before you speak.
      Who is one person God may be putting on your heart? What is one simple invitation you could make this week, and what would it look like to genuinely listen to that person’s story?
   4. Challenge for the group:
      Before ending the session, give everyone a moment to quietly identify one person they will pray for and one practical step they will take this week.
