Pastor Daniel Goulding · Sep 25, 2023
Acts 10 marks the pivotal moment when the message of Jesus broke out of its Jewish boundaries and was proclaimed to the Gentiles. Pastor Daniel shows that this expansion was delayed not by God's intent but by the prejudice and bias lodged in Peter's heart. Through a vision, a three-day journey, and a Spirit-powered encounter in Cornelius' home, Peter finally grasps what Jesus had been saying all along — that forgiveness of sin and peace with God through Jesus Christ is for all people, not just the ones we expect. The same biases that slowed Peter can slow us, and the same Spirit that moved him can move us to share the hope of Jesus with the one person God is already preparing.
