## Resource

How does faith change us over time? In Acts 10, Peter encounters a vision that challenges everything he thought he knew about who belongs, who is welcome, and how God works in the world. As he meets Cornelius—a Roman centurion and outsider to Israel's covenant story—the early church discovers that the Spirit of God is already moving beyond the boundaries they assumed were fixed. This message explores slippery slopes, spiritual growth, unexpected relationships, and the surprising truth that transformation is normal in the Christian life. What if the Spirit is at work in places, people, and experiences you never expected? 📖 Scripture: Acts 10:1–45 In this teaching, we explore: Why Peter's vision was so shocking How spiritual growth often happens gradually The role relationships play in transforming our theology What it means that Jesus is "Lord of all" How the Spirit continually pushes beyond our assumptions Commons Church exists to create space for spirituality, curiosity, and community.
