No Divide - Acts
ACTS 9:32-11:18
In Acts 10 we see God lead Cornelius and Peter to a meeting where the gospel brings them together. This is difficult for Peter and the other Jews to understand, but after seeing Cornelius and his family respond to the gospel and receive the Holy Spirit they rejoice and prepare to accept this new multi-ethnic global church.
