Living the Dream
We hear about thekey themes of theBible over and over
again. We know the basic
truths very well.
But after awhile we
feel comfortable withwhat we know andthe truth loses itsshine.

Old Shoes
We might claim to know
all we need to know
about the Bible and want
to know something new.(Be it in or out the church)
This is because we are
not thrilled about the
effort to live out the reality
of the truth.
This in many ways is like
old shoes.

Acts 10
God sent Peter a vision in order for
him to see all people as his
brothers not just the Jews.
Peter after seeing the Holy
Ghost come down on Corneliuss
house he said
God does not show favoritism but accepts men from
every nation who fear Him and do what is right. (Acts
10:34-35, NIV)

Engage Peter was willing to follow God even if it meant doing
that which he was uncomfortable with.
We rarely go outside our culture and when we do we
act like gospel salespeople.
We need to stop thinking knowing the truth is enough
and we have to live it. Because if we do not go and do
what he said God is nothing more than a fad.
We must engage the scriptures or we end up looking
like Christians but not being Christians inside.

God Does Not Show Favoritism
What is meant by
God does not show
favoritism...?
Going down Jewish
memory lane we see
God has been
preparing them to be
a people used for His
glory and honor.

Raging Against the System
Before Peters statement about God notshowing favorites he was one who wasproud of not mixing with non-Jewish
people. But Peter through his vision and the
meeting with Cornelius learned God
wanted him to eat, walk, talk, cry and livewith all people.
God wants the same from us today!!!

Christ First
God called Peter and us
to live for the Christian
race (people) first.
We know stories like thisand yet dont follow it.
Yet we are to submit to
the Bible (2 Timothy
3:16), the Holy Spirit (2
Peter 1:20-21) and the
greatness of Christ
through his sacrifice on
the cross (Galatians
6:14).

Shifting to New Ways After Acts 10 a shift to the new
ways God was showing was
seen through Peter.
Peter realized that everything
old (His Culture, Priorities, andwhole life) has to be second to
the way God was leading him.
God wants all of us to see the
world through his lens. And to
infiltrate that lens into our own
and other cultures.

The New Normal God knew he was calling
Peter to do something
beyond his strength
something that needed
supernatural power.
That power is that of the
Holy Spirit who enlighten
and guides us.
The problem is we want tobe on easy street.

Christ The Fight to Revolutionize
The people who you do ministryfor shows who you caredeeply for.
For the disciples did ministry together and had love forone another and for Christ.
They realized that they were a chosen people called tobe together as one, not separated as many.
You should be feeling incomplete if your not doingministry outside your own cultural norm.
Peter when he realized this said this to the other Jewish
believers So if God gave them the same gift as he gaveus, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I tothink I could oppose God? (Acts 11:17, NIV)
