    Peter might be riding high on the cloud of joy and excitement as he is reporting to the Church of Jerusalem the advancement of God’s Kingdom to the Gentile. But instead of appreciation and recognition, what he received is objection and criticism. Let's se

    HANDLING OBJECTIONS AND CRITICISMS Acts 11:1-18 Act 11:1 Soon the news reached the apostles and other believers in Judea that the Gentiles had received the word of God.

    THE IMPARTIALITY OF GOD. Acts 9:36-Acts 11:18. Joppa was probably the only truly Jewish seaport in Judah.

    Jesus said we should love one another. But why bother to tell us to do it? Shouldn't it come naturally to us? Apparently not. So, what do we need to understand in order to obey this command that Jesus gave 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 church split could have occurred in the Jerusalem church, but it didn't. That's the background of Acts 11:1-21. But a subtext is the role the Word of God played in the entire passage. Thats the subject of this passage.

    What to Do with God’s Word TEXT: Acts 11:1-21 – “And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, 3 Saying, Thou wentest ...read more

    Those Gentiles!

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 27, 2013
     | 3,914 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

    When Peter was sent to the home of Cornelius, God was trying to change Peter's and the churches perspectives toward Gentiles. Peter had some prejudices against Gentiles that needed to change. Perhaps we also have biases and prejudices that God wants to change.

    To establish that the gift of speaking in tongues – was granted by the direct empowerment of the Holy Spirit - or by the “laying on of hands” by the apostles. If the gift of new tongues was part of the infant church; are they necessary today?

    “The Gospel Message” Acts 11:1-18 As we join with Peter heading home we see that the Gospel message that has always been intended for all is being challenged.
