Sermon: Acts 10:19-35; "We're All Here to Hear from God"
Date: February 14, 2016
Pastor: Michael Howard


Scripture: Acts 10:19-35

19 While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him,
“Behold, three men are seeking you.
20 Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing;
for I have sent them.”

21 Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from
Cornelius, and said, “Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason
have you come?”

22 And they said, “Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who
fears God and has a good reputation among all the nation of the
Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his
house, and to hear words from you.”
23 Then he invited them in and lodged them.

On the next day Peter went away with them, and some brethren from
Joppa accompanied him.

24 And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was
waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close
friends.
25 As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his
feet and worshiped him.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I myself am also a
man.”
27 And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had
come together.
28 Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish
man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God
has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for.
I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”

30 So Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour;
and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood
before me in bright clothing,
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms
are remembered in the sight of God.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon here, whose surname is
Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.
When he comes, he will speak to you.’
33 So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now
therefore, we are all present before God, to hear all the things
commanded you by God.”

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that
God shows no partiality.
35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is
accepted by Him.
