Unstoppable Diversity (7 of 13)

Acts 10:1-11:18
Today we pick up in Acts 10. Ch. 8 - Samaria and Ethiopian, Ch. 9- Saul-- Here in ch. 10 we see a major shift. The gospel begins to aggressively spread among the gentiles and it starts here with the ministry of Peter.
This text has a lot to say about who the gospel is for and therefore who we should be for.
We are prone to drift towards people we feel we have most in common with. This happens with race, finances, jobs... all sorts of culturally shaping demographics.

And he said to him, ''Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is lodging with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.'' 7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attended him, 8 and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Cornelius is a centurion- This is a position in the Roman army that mean he was over 100 soldiers. He was paid roughly 5 times that of a normal ...
