The Good News Goes Global - Peter and Cornelius (Acts 10)

Could the Good News possibly be for those outside God's 'chosen people' - the Jews? Peter certainly took some convincing that this was the case, but when he visited Cornelius's household, he proclaimed the Gospel and God poured out his Holy Spirit 'even on them!' Acts 10 tells of this 'Gentile Pentecost' - the pivotal event in the history of the early church that showed that 'the Good News is for everybody' and opened the way for the good news to 'go global' so that repentance and forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in Jesus' name to all nations. This sermon was preached on Sunday May 13th at St John's Southgate Lutheran church. It can be usedwith the Bible study to be found at this link and with this Prezi zooming visual presentation. Enjoy!
