THE BOOK OF ACTS - THE GOSPEL FOR EVERYONE 8/23/26

ACTS – “The Gospel For Everyone” | Acts 10:1–48

Acts 10 makes one truth unmistakably clear: the Gospel is for everyone.

God brings Peter, a Jewish follower of Jesus, into the home of Cornelius, a Roman centurion and Gentile. Cornelius needs to hear about Jesus, but Peter also needs God to reshape his perspective and break down the barriers he had carried for years.

Through this encounter, Peter realizes that God shows no favoritism. Our backgrounds may be different. Our stories, struggles, and experiences may not look the same. But every one of us has the same need for Jesus.

We are not called to make people look like us before they can belong. We are called to share Christ and trust the Holy Spirit to transform lives.

This message invites us to look honestly at our own assumptions, recognize the people we may have kept at a distance, and become willing to go wherever God sends us. We cannot reach people if we refuse to get close to them.

Last week reminded us that nobody is too far gone. Acts 10 shows us that **nobody is too far outside.

The Gospel is for everyone.
