“ Lydia, the generous hostess “
Acts 16:11-15, 40
It is at this point in Paul’s second missionary journey that we arrive at today’s lesson. It is about Lydia. Her act of hospitality serves as a faithful witnesses to the life-changing effect of the gospel ! Hospitality is essentially love in action when we show hospitality. We demonstrate our love for God and others Lydia exemplified this by providing a welcoming space for people to gather share meals, engaged in fellowship and prayer and encounter. Christ imagine Paul’s experience in Philippi without Lydius hospitality, he would have like a base for his ministry and somewhere to return to after being released from prison.
Hospitality is essentially love in action , when we show hospitality , We demonstrates our love to God and others. Lydia exemplified this by providing a welcoming space for people together, share meals, engaged in fellowship and prayer and encounter Christ .The New Testament encourages us to follow her example and extend our hospitality to others. 
“God grow the church through our hospitality “
