Summary

What does it mean to truly embrace everyone as our neighbor? Today, we explore a turning point in the early church as Peter receives a vision that challenges centuries of exclusivity and prejudice. God shows Peter that His love and salvation are for everyone, not just a select group. This revelation leads Peter to welcome non-Jewish visitors into his home and ultimately to the house of Cornelius, a Roman, where he must decide whether to cross social and cultural barriers. This story invites us to reflect on our own hearts, letting God break down any walls of prejudice or division within us.   For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

or seven minutes because that's my attention span. So I'm really, really grateful to have you

0:51.3

along today. We are currently walking through the Book of Acts, which is all about the beginnings of the early church.

0:56.9

We have seen this church thrive in the city of Jerusalem, and then persecution comes on them like this tidal wave, and they are scattered.

1:03.8

Scattered to the places where Jesus had told them they would eventually go to places like Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

1:12.2

And we are in chapter 10 today, and this is one of the most important stories in the entire

book of Acts, the entire Bible, for that matter. So we might spend a few episodes here,

1:20.9

but I just want to highlight what happens in the story and how that might translate into

1:25.5

our current reality. I was reminded of a story like years and years ago when Bobby Kennedy was fighting for his

party's nomination for president back in, I think, 1968.

Unusually hot humid spring day in New York City, he spends most of the day crisscrossing

the streets of some of the poorest neighborhoods of Spanish Harlem.
