Step 4- Relate
Relate the gospel in our churches and neighborhoods through hospitality.
When you think about it, steps one, two, and three form a cycle that nurtures itself and grows. Joy leads to obedience that when reinforced leads to greater joy, and greater obedience.
In this fourth step, we answer an important question…. SO WHAT? Why is all this important?
Is all of this about having perfect little Christian homes? While health is important in our homes, the truth is that God has a bigger purpose for our homes. God wants to use our families in ministry.
As we look out into our local church and community, we pray that our homes are not cul-de-sacs but instead conduits or rivers of His grace and mercy.
We are all so busy! How do we do this? How can we practically use our struggles that find resolution in Christ, to be a blessing to others? This is what we’re going to cover in this step four.
Thank you for staying with us through these four steps. We hope that they have blessed and encouraged you.
