Jesus partied a lot during his ministry on earth. His willingness to frequent banquets and dinner parties shows us that he was invested in relationships and participated actively in community. Moreover, Jesus was all about bringing outsiders in. He invites those who do not belong—those who are cast out—to enter into his home to learn that we belong in his kingdom because of his grace and love for us.

How can we utilize our homes (both literally and figuratively) to pursue a lifestyle of godly hospitality where Jesus' mission of inviting outsiders in becomes our way of life?
