Elisha and the Shunamite Woman Lesson on Hospitality
In II Kings 4 8 17 a Shunamite woman who welcomes Elisha into her home is promised a child by him. The sermon highlights hospitality compassion and reward across cultural lines noting the woman’s kindness to a foreigner and the broader moral to entertain strangers. It connects the biblical tale to modern acts of service and questions who the reader is called to welcome.
