4 Conversion stories (Samaritans, Eunuch, Saul, Cornelius)

Simultaneous working: Cornelius and Peter

Cornelius: centurion, God-fearer, devout, prayer warrior

Peter's vision: "Kill and Eat!" "No Way!"

Clean people + unclean animals = unclean people

Unclean = detested = defiled = unholy (Lev. 11)

"What God has made clean, do not call common."
Made clean = purified; common = impure

Unclean food and unclean _____ together

"Unclean people + God's cleansing = ______ people

How can a clean/holy God make unclean/unholy things clean/holy?

1 John 1:7 the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

Unqualified people -> Jesus -> Qualified Saints

Thoughts:
No unclean people
No unclean cultures
No unclean foods
