What God Has Cleansed

This Bible study examines the pivotal moment in Acts 10 where God breaks down the barrier between Jews and Gentiles through Peter's vision of unclean animals. The central message emphasizes that God's cleansing work in the heart of a person, such as the Roman centurion Cornelius, superseding cultural and religious traditions of separation. By highlighting the parallel prayers of Peter and Cornelius, the text illustrates God's sovereign orchestration in using ordinary believers to proclaim the gospel to all nations. The tone is instructional and pastoral, urging listeners to view all people as reachable by grace rather than defined by their background. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a posture of humility and obedience, recognizing that the knowledge of the Lord is intended to fill the earth as the waters cover the sea.
