Topic: Gentiles

Paul reaches Jerusalem with his Gentile posse, and they meet up with James and the Jesus Jews. The groups shouldn't get along on paper, but the Holy Spirit-filled, Gospel-driven, Jesus-centered church shows a kind of unity, generosity, and welcome that should be the mark of every church.
Peter begins to share the gospel with Cornelius, and before he is done speaking, the Holy Spirit falls on the Gentiles, and the game has shifted for the rest of human history - Gentiles are included in the promises of God!
Peter is sitting down to eat lunch one day, when he falls into a trance and sees a heavenly vision about eating unclean animals. After the vision, some unclean men arrive at the door asking him to come with them. The Lord instructs Peter to go with them “with no doubts.” And he ends up in the home of a Romans centurion. The “bridge” that is the church of God is starting to come together in Christ!
