1. INVITE – people want to be wanted, they need to be needed, they long to belong

2. INFORM – guests have questions: common interests? next steps? expectations?

3. INCLUDE – real friendships blossom based on interests, experiences, needs, hobbies, etc.

4. INVOLVE – studying the Bible and serving others together (true discipleship)

At a table with his disciples, Jesus brought down the nations, transformed social orders, and softened human hearts.  In the simple act of offering another person a piece of bread and a sip from a cup, Jesus did the most powerful thing a human being could do; he gave himself in love.   Hospitality is just that … giving of ourselves in love.
