REVIEW. “What did you take away from last time?” [Refer to last week’s responses.] “How did that go?”
Sermon Summary:
The move of the Spirit continues here in this account of Peter's vision as God moves him to invite gentile outsiders into the kingdom of God. For this to happen Peter needs a change of heart and mind. He needs to hear from the Spirit and to discern what of culture can be redeemed, and what must be rejected. Like Peter, we are invited to discern with God's Word how to interact with the culture we are a part of, and to create space in our lives to invite people into relationship with us, and with Jesus.
READ. Key Passage: Acts 10:1-23
Discussion Questions:
Truth: What are the ways that God helped Peter discern and open up to the move of the Spirit in these verses? What was God revealing to him?
Repentance: What are ways that we have inherited or erected barriers to inviting people into relationship with Christ?
Faith: How might the Spirit be inviting you to open your life for new people to come to Him?
RESPOND. Ask God, how can today’s discussion further your relationship with God, one another, and the world? Pray together. [Record responses and prayer requests.]
