Make Room for the Stranger: God’s Hospitality
From Holy Spirit Sermons · 16:04
Show by Holy Spirit Lutheran Church
Senior Pastor Shari Duminy reflects on what it means to practice God’s hospitality—making room for the stranger we didn’t plan for. Connecting Luke 4:16–30 with the story of Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17:8–16, the sermon explores fear, scarcity, and the surprising ways God provides through welcome. You’ll also hear a contemporary story about a child’s simple “waving ritual” that reshapes a neighborhood, and an invitation to a small, concrete spiritual practice: notice where your life is tightly arranged—and where God might be calling you to move over and make space. The introduction and closing use an AI-generated voice.
