What God has Made Clean

This Sunday, Greg continues our series on the Book of Acts. Acts 10 focuses on the radical transformation of Peter. Once a devout Jew who strictly followed the law, Peter is confronted by a vision from God telling him not to call anything unclean that God has made clean—challenging his deeply ingrained beliefs. This vision prepares Peter to enter the home of Cornelius, a Roman centurion and Gentile, something no faithful Jew would have done. As Peter witnesses the Holy Spirit fall on Cornelius and his household, he realizes the gospel truly is for all people—it is God’s grace that makes us clean, not our background, law-keeping, or social standing. Peter's obedience marks a turning point in the early church, where God uses him to help open the door of salvation to the Gentile world.
