## Resource

Acts 10 is one of the great turning points in scripture. A Roman centurion named Cornelius prays and gives generously. A Jewish apostle named Peter wrestles with a vision he doesn't yet understand. And the wall that separated Jew and Gentile begins to come down, not through an argument, but through hospitality. In this message, Pastor Darren walks through the story of Cornelius and Peter and asks what it means for us today: that heaven keeps track of hidden prayers, that the Spirit is always a sending voice, and that the new thing God wants to do is often most resisted by the people who participated in the last thing he did. Geography teaches theology. Joppa, the same port Jonah fled from, becomes the place Peter says yes. The invitation is simple and uncomfortable. Let hospitality go first. Welcome the people you've categorized out. Move on the whisper before you have full clarity. Part of our series Church on Fire, a journey through the book of Acts.
