Acts 10 – How God Builds His Church

Acts 10 teaches that God builds His church by challenging our prejudices and expanding our vision of who belongs in His family, as Peter learned that God shows no partiality. Cornelius's devotion and prayer didn't save him—he still needed the gospel—but God honored his seeking heart by sending Peter with the message of salvation. The Jewish believers' astonishment at Gentiles receiving the Spirit reveals how God's building plan often surprises even mature believers who think they understand His ways.
