Prologue
Peter’s Sermon to the Gentiles
Peter
Apostle Simon-Peter, Commoner, blue-collar, Cut off they guys ear, denied Christ 3 times.
First man to preach Jesus’ Gospel besides Jesus.
Threatened and beaten by the Pharisees
Healed people in the name of Jesus.
Announced the fate of both Ananias and Sophira
Rejected Simon the magician
Saw the Gospel and the Holy Spirit come to the Samaritans.
Chapter 9
Goes to Lydda and heals a guy that had been paralyzed for 8 years.
All the people that saw him turned to the Lord.
Joppa we hear about a disciple name Tabitha (Abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she did continually)
She died.
The people heard Peter was close so they went and got him and Peter knelt, prayed, told her to rise, and she did.
Many believed in the lord.
Peter stayed there many days with a tanner named Simon.
Cornelius’ Vision
Cornelius saw and angel of God and the angel said,
Peter’s Vision
Remember Matthew 16 Jesus ask Peter who he said that Jesus is?
Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus said he would suffer and die, and Peter rebuked Jesus, “God forbid it.”
Jesus said, Get behind me satan.”
While Peter is trying to figure out what this means, Cornelius’ guys show up and the Holy Spirit told Peter they were looking for him and to go with them willingly.
Peter and Cornelius
Cornelius fell at Peter’s feet to worship him,
Saw a bunch of people around
Third time’s a charm.
That’s why I came, but what am I doing here?”
Cornelius - Soldier : Doing what I’m told.
We have peace through Jesus Christ
Anointed with the Holy Spirit, power, did good and healing all oppressed by the devil, God was with Him.
He was put to death on the Cross.
He was raised on the third day.
He is appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead.
Through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.
Peter preached a one point sermon with six fundamental statements.
They had not been baptized, Peter didn’t pray for them to receive the Holy Spirit, They simply heard and believed.
The Gospel is SIMPLE!
Not Easy.
Pouring out all of yourself, and allowing Him to pour into you is the most difficult thing to do on a consistent basis.
Simple NOT easy.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day with my Grandkids.
Lincoln - 2.
I would tell him to do something.....Not crying, complaining, he would just, without even looking at me, say “Nope.”
Happily defiant.
Lot’s wife just looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt.
I think we lose sight of our unbelievable need for forgiveness and the cost of that forgiveness.
Saw the gifts of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and exalting God.
The Gospel is that simple
We received the Holy Spirit when we believe.
We don’t see the same gifts now.
Not normative.
The Holy Spirit has been sent.
the Holy Spirit to the Samaritans
The Holy Spirit to the Gentiles
The Holy Spirit to the followers of John the Baptist at Ephesus.
Outside of Acts, the place that speaking in Tongues is mentioned the most is in Paul’s letters to the church in Corinth.
