Changed by the Word's Witness

This week, Bishop Rodgers continues to teach from Acts 10:25-44 on "Changed by the Word's Witness". It was an old custom that strict Jews would have no contact with a Gentile or a Jew who did not observe the Law. Peter was trained in this custom. God had to reveal to Peter in a vision that you can't call someone unclean who God has cleansed. When Peter was asked by Cornelius' men to come with them to Cornelius' home, Peter went. Cornelius demonstrated an eagerness to know and obey God. Upon their meeting, Peter removes from Cornelius' mind and heart the difference between Jew and Gentile. This is the starting point for any who would take the Gospel. This means God accepts everyone but on His terms. God does not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnic background, but on whose behavior is acceptable and whose attitude is not. Those who reverence God and practice what is right in His eyes are acceptable to Him. We pray as you listen to this powerful message, you will examine your own life. Are you living up to your confession of Christ being the head of your life? Does your lifestyle and speech support your confession? If not, no worries, just repent of your sins and ask the Lord to order your steps. Then, start reading the Word on a regular basis and ask the Lord to show you the areas which need to be fixed. We are praying for you to be everything God created you to be.  If you prayed the prayer of salvation with us, please text the keyword "SAVED" to 252-627-9900. We'd love to connect with you! Have a safe and blessed week.
