The Book Of Acts Part Eight | Pastor Kevin Poage

In this study, Pastor Kevin walks us through Acts 10–12, unpacking the groundbreaking moment when the Gospel crossed cultural and ethnic lines, extending God's grace to the Gentiles. Through Peter's vision and his divine appointment with Cornelius, we see how God is orchestrating both sides of the story—preparing hearts, breaking barriers, and confirming His love for all people.The session dives into the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Gentile believers, highlighting the truth that God shows no favoritism—whoever calls on His name shall be saved. We also explore themes of supernatural deliverance as Peter is miraculously freed from prison, and the sobering reality that not all prayers are answered the same way—like James' martyrdom.As always, Pastor Kevin weaves in personal stories, deep truths, and thoughtful questions that challenge us to trust God's justice, even when life feels unfair. This week’s study is a rich reminder that salvation transforms not only our eternity but also the way we see and love others—without prejudice, without boundaries.Three Main Takeaways:God Is No Respecter of PersonsThe Gospel is for everyone—Jew, Gentile, rich, poor, black, white.
