Acts 11:1-18 - To the Gentiles Also

The church was more concerned with the move of the spirit and the salvation of the lost than they were with their cultural theological convictions.  Thus a believer who is looking to join God in drawing the outsider inside will have to: 1) Love the outsider more than we love our cultural convictions. The Church was able to celebrate God’s saving gentiles even though it made them uncomfortable both theologically and culturally  2) Address conflict with patience and grace. We have to address hurt/upset insiders with grace that points beyond us to God and his work.
