3. Receive
Abraham looked up and saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them, and bowed down to the ground. He said, ‘My lord, if I find favour with you, do not pass by your servant. Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—since you have come to your servant.’ …
Genesis 18:2-5

Abraham welcomed strangers. He gave them somewhere to rest and food to eat.
Later they were shown to be messengers of God…

5. Engage Some discussion ideas …
Music …
We’re your friends (Jungle Book)
Newsboys “Entertaining Angels”
Some discussion ideas …
Why should we offer help without expecting anything in return?
How can you show welcome to another person today?

6. Be bold, be strong,
for the Lord, your God, is with you.
I am not afraid (no, no, no),
I am not dismayed (no, no, no),
because I’m walking in faith and victory;
come on and walk in faith and victory,

7. Respond

Amen
