Doug’s Coffee Break Episode 518 - Acts 11:15-18 - The Pentecost Parallel

Peter’s return to Jerusalem sparks tension—but not over his preaching. It’s his table fellowship with Gentiles that stirs concern among Jewish believers. In response, Peter recounts his vision, the Spirit’s leading, and the unmistakable outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Gentiles—just as it happened at Pentecost. This episode explores how that moment confirmed Jesus’ promise of Spirit baptism, marked the birth of the Church Age, and both united the church and set it on a collision course with the temple-centered Jewish world.
