Even the Gentiles
Through the season of Easter we are looking at passages from Acts where the Holy Spirit is acting. Today’s story involves one of the biggest surprises of the New Testament. Peter is questioned by the disciples in Jerusalem about reports of his having dined with gentiles. His response to them not only completely changes the playing field, erasing some things they had held as rules for believers, but causes them to praise God for this new thing. (NOTE: Although the video begins with the Children’s Moment and sermon, once it starts you can scroll back to the beginning of the service if you want. The video of the entire service is available to watch.)
