BORDER CROSSING WIND
Read: Acts 10
The Spirit directed each major advancement of the church.
Unity is not found in uniformity. Unity is a matter of spirit. The choir/orchestra will begin participating in the 9am service on Sunday, September 2.
NO ONE IS BEYOND THE REACH OF THE SPIRIT
Cornelius was the least likely convert. Don’t write anyone off. Cornelius was hungry for truth.
GOD DOES NOT FAVOR ONE MAN OVER ANOTHER. NEITHER SHOULD WE (v10:34-35)
God shows no partiality. He wants everyone, regardless of nationality or ethnic origin, to hear the gospel and believe. In Christ there are no barriers. Since God shows no favoritism, work hard at breaking down walls in your own heart toward people who are different. When we put up barriers, we cause opportunity to diminish.
PEACE COMES THROUGH RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. (v10:36)
Peace comes in communion with Jesus. Let your peace overwhelm your pain. Find strength and encouragement in Him.
THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS SECURES OUR HOPE FOR ETERNITY (v10:40-41)
It’s the basis of Christian hope. There are lots of religions, prophets and teachers- even Christianity is not the answer. Because HE lives, I live. That’s all. We have to believe in Jesus. It’s not narrow. It’s for everyone who believes.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE IN HIM TO HAVE OUR SINS FORGIVEN (v10:43)
Nothing more – nothing less. Just belief in Jesus and our sins are forgiven.
