    Whenever a change takes place in a church there is often a stir among some of the members. And unfortunately, when the change is good, there is more contention. That tells a great deal about the character of the church.

This change produced contention in the early church and Peter was right in the middle of it. “When the apostle’s and brethren that were ...read more

    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

    Those Gentiles!

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 27, 2013

    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
