Pastor's Post

All are welcome at United Church

each Sunday at 10 am

for the worship and praise of God.

Greetings,

Just recently, I made the decision to do business with a new company. This change did not come easily. I have been associated with another company, I’ll call it “A,” for years. However, about a year ago, “A” was sold. While I enjoyed knowing the previous owner of “A,” the new owner has made no effort to get to know me and is seldom on-site when I am there (the previous owner seemed to be there all the time). The new owner quickly raised prices, eliminated discounts, and shortened the hours of operation. I have a hunch the new owner will eventually close the operation (they have other locations).

So, after doing research, I went to the new company. I’ll call it “#1.” Immediately upon entering “#1,” an employee warmly greeted me. Then the owners of the company came to the reception area, shook my hand, asked my name, and took the time to visit with me about how I found their company and shared about conveniences they offer. To say I was impressed with this initial interaction is an understatement. I am pleased with my decision to make this change. I look forward to seeing how things progress.

There are a tremendous number of references in the Bible to hospitality. I often think of Genesis 18:1-8. Briefly, Abraham is sitting by the entrance of the tent, in the heat of the day, when he sees three men standing near him. Abraham runs to meet them, bows to them, and with Sarah’s help, feeds them (Yes, it is The Lord, but Abraham did not know it, yet). Abraham and Sarah did what was the norm of the day – offering generous hospitality to all who came their way.

Jesus was all about hospitality. In Matthew 25:35-45, he talks about the importance of feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, welcoming the stranger, clothing the naked, and caring for the sick. His actions are congruent with his teaching.

The church, the Body of Christ on the earth, is to always be a model of thoughtful hospitality. In this 21st Century, care for others can be in short supply. So, let’s continue to be on the lookout for opportunities where simple acts of hospitality like offering a smile, a greeting, and a handshake or hug make a positive difference and a lasting impression. I can say with certainty, it’s the #1 way.

Peace,
Pastor Brady
