Here are lessons from a hugely significant part of the narrative in the Book of Acts. Peter, a Jew, being sent for by Cornelius, a Gentile, is controversial indeed. Initially, the ‘bigger picture' was not clear in Peter's mind. Then the unthinkable became reality. Gentiles called to salvation by God and being given the gift of The Holy Spirit.

What lessons did Peter have to learn? Do we have to learn them too? In this introductory sermon on this passage we are led to discover the place and significance of prayer, the fact that God sometimes uses methods we do not expect, or at the time fully understand, and also that God will often bring to us sudden and unexpected providences, that He might correct us. Cornelius heard the gospel, and believed. Has that been our experience?
