January Justice Series: Just(ice)Hospitality

Pastor:
Passage: Matthew 25:31-46

This Sunday we begin our January Justice series called Just Hospitality. In this past year, Canada set a new immigration record, with more than 430,000 permanent residents arriving in the country. The bible has a lot to say about welcoming immigrants; in Matthew 25, Jesus says, “I was a stranger and you invited me in.” How do we open our lives and our hearts to living relationally? How is the Holy Spirit working in our lives and teaching us to hear different stories, different perspectives and learn from each other? How is Jesus calling us to show holy hospitality to the new immigrant?
