Sacrificial Love & Costly Hospitality (1 Peter 4:8-9)

With the end of all things at hand, Peter doesn't call the church to speculation — he calls us to action. Building on last week's charge to prayer, this message unpacks two more urgent responses to the nearness of Christ's return: sacrificial, self-giving love and costly hospitality. We'll see why biblical love is a covenant commitment rather than a feeling, how that love "covers a multitude of sins" through forgiveness, and why opening our homes — despite the cost to our pride, our calendars, and our resources — remains a necessary act of the gospel. All of it flows from one place: the hospitable, self-giving love of God, who turned us from strangers into sons and daughters through the cross.
