We all have our categories. Clean and unclean. In and out. The people we move toward and the ones we keep at arm's length. In Acts 10, God interrupts Peter with a vision that challenges everything he thought he knew — not just about food, but about people.
Through the unlikely pairing of Cornelius, a Roman centurion seeking God, and Peter, a Jewish leader who has never crossed that kind of cultural line, we see how God works behind the scenes to bring people together. His message is clear: what God has made clean, don't call common.
In this message from Acts 10:1-28, we look at four truths about living without partiality:
God gives the vision for change to come
God makes common things clean
God wants our obedience even when it doesn't make sense
God allows time for understanding to form
Whether it's race, background, profession, or just someone you've written off — God is calling us to cross the threshold.
