The Last Open Door: Breaking Barriers, Sharing Blessings

Nov 16, 2025    Joel McGarvey

We live in a world where hospitality has become rare—even among Christians.

We “like” posts, we “follow” people, we “heart” photos… but the doors of our homes and the spaces of our lives often stay closed.


Peter writes something radically ordinary and deeply challenging:

“Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.” (1 Peter 4:9)


This seems simple… until we actually try to do it.


Today, we begin the final stretch of our hospitality focus. Before we close this series, God wants to open something in us: our homes, our hearts, and our willingness to welcome.


Let’s talk about the barriers that keep us from hospitality…

and the blessings waiting once those barriers fall.
