Disciple Making | Pastor Rob Krause

Pastor Rob Krause delivers a powerful message on disciple making through the lens of missional hospitality, illustrating how God has always been the ultimate host, from creation to the cross and into eternity. Drawing from Luke 14:12–14 and the overarching biblical narrative, he emphasizes that true mission is relational, embodied in inviting the marginalized to our tables, just as Christ has done for us. Rob shares personal stories from ministry in Italy to show that hospitality rooted in humility and openness leads to transformed lives, restored families, and eternal impact.

Discussion Questions
1. How does understanding God as the ultimate host—starting from Genesis through Revelation—reshape how we view hospitality and mission?
2. In Luke 14:12–14, Jesus challenges us to invite those who cannot repay us. What would it look like to apply this in your home, workplace, or church this week?
3. Rob said, “We are who we eat with.” How might sharing meals with nonbelievers or hurting people become a doorway to disciple making in your life?
4. What objections or fears do you personally face in practicing missional hospitality, and how does the gospel address those concerns?
5. Imagine your future place at the marriage supper of the Lamb—who might be there because you opened your home to them? How does this eternal vision motivate you today?
