    Contributed by Ron Freeman, Evangelist on Aug 11, 2016
    based on 24 ratings
     | 17,744 views

    To establish that Cornelius was instructed by the Angel to send for the preacher to hear words whereby he and his entire house might be saved. This lesson deals with the false notion – that God does not hear or answer prayers from the unsaved or sinners.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. The Message of an Angel 2. The Message of Cornelius 3. The Message of Peter Remarks. 1. In our lesson today we are going to be discussing a theme: “Cornelius, thy Prayer is Heard.” These are the words of the angel that instructed him that God has remembered his prayers ...read more

    Changes Unites Us

    We often resist change, but Jesus wants us to accept and even promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone. He wants us to drop all barriers to the cause of Christ.

    I want to start my message this morning by asking the older members a question, and the answer might take you on a trip down memory lane. How many of you remember the TV series “I Love Lucy?” Ricky Ricardo always had a line he used when Lucy did something wrong. It was “Lucy, ...read more

    A sermon about a seismic shift in the Christian Church.

    "You Mean They Can Be Saved Too?" Acts 11:1-18 Acts Chapter 10 and 11 tell a story that is one of the major turning points in Christianity; really it's like a seismic shift!!!! It is something so radical that it causes the early followers of Christ to readjust their entire worldview. If it ...read more

    Peter Defends Himself Before The Jerusalem Church Series

    It appears that when the church leaders in Jerusalem had heard of Peter’s experience in Joppa at the home of Cornelius, they challenged his action and recalled him to Jerusalem for the purpose of justifying it.

    May 6, 2014 Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles By: Tom Lowe Lesson: III.D.7: Peter Defends Himself Before the Jerusalem Church (11:1-18) Scripture (Acts 11:1-18; KJV) 1 And the ...read more

    Those Gentiles!

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 27, 2013
     | 3,979 views

    We Gentiles have been granted repentance by God. This gift is of greater worth than anything this world has to offer. The early church was not excited to open the door of faith to us. What then shall be our response to God's gift of grace?

    What to do with those Gentiles!? Acts 11 records when the doors of the church swung wide open to every nation and Peter was called on the carpet for taking the first steps. We look at this today and wonder how they could have missed it. Did not Jesus himself commission them to go into all the ...read more

    Gentleness

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 3, 2013
     | 4,637 views

    I must say this, today there is a sadistic and egoistic pleasure in being snobby, overbearing, rude and curt? We have just forgotten to be kind, gentle and pleasant!

    Gentleness… Acts 11:2’And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him…’ It is sad that many are skeptical about fasting! Let us not do fasting as a ritual or a religious custom like many do these days without any change in them. Are you ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 16,468 views

    To establish that this conversion also follows the New Testament’s “pattern of conversions” as outlined in the Book of Acts. This lesson will establish that these uncircumcised Gentiles were added to the church in the same manner as all other believers.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. Cornelius’ Character before the Lord 2. Cornelius’ Call by the Lord 3. Cornelius’ Conversion to the Lord Introductory Remarks. 1. In our lesson today, we continue discussing New Testament conversions. As we continue to plow through this theme, one thing has become ...read more

    Breaking Down Barriers Series

    Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.

    This week I shared something positive on Facebook and got pulverized. The criticism came quickly and repeatedly. Normally I’m more careful about posting about controversial matters so I wasn’t prepared for all the venomous vitriol and overwhelming opposition. One person simply replied, “Oh ...read more

    Peter shared the works of God in saving the Gentiles in Cornelius' house. This is the will of God. It brings challenges the church will have to grapple with, but the truth is, God will make the Jews and Gentiles one in Christ.

    Good morning. Glad to be able to meet up again and remember our Lord together as a Body of Christ. We celebrate God’s goodness and lovingkindness despite the challenges. • Let us praise God with Psalm 47 before we look into Acts 11. 1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 17, 2023
     | 1,779 views

    How do we deal with others in reprimand? How do we deal with serious problems in the church and in Christian lives? It is difficult. In this message Paul had to reprimand Peter publicly because Peter failed in the very matter Paul was fighting against.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 2:11-21 - MESSAGE 5 – PAUL REPRIMANDS THE APOSTLE PETER PUBLICLY We are continuing the series in Galatians, following the letter that deeply impressed Paul’s heart because the gospel he preached was being mangled.
