New Shoes

As a kid I loved when I got new shoes. Since itwas new and new was better I thought somehowthese shoes would make me jump higher. Butsurvey says, Nope, you still cant jump. But youhave new shoes now.

Living the Dream

We hear about thekey themes of theBible over and over

again. We know the basic

truths very well.

But after awhile we

feel comfortable withwhat we know andthe truth loses itsshine.


4/12

Old Shoes

We might claim to know

all we need to know

about the Bible and want

to know something new.(Be it in or out the church)

This is because we are

not thrilled about the

effort to live out the reality

of the truth.

This in many ways is like

old shoes.


5/12

Acts 10

God sent Peter a vision in order for

him to see all people as his

brothers not just the Jews.

Peter after seeing the Holy

Ghost come down on Corneliuss

house he said

God does not show favoritism but accepts men from

every nation who fear Him and do what is right. (Acts

10:34-35, NIV)


6/12

Engage Peter was willing to follow God even if it meant doing

that which he was uncomfortable with.

We rarely go outside our culture and when we do we

act like gospel salespeople.

We need to stop thinking knowing the truth is enough

and we have to live it. Because if we do not go and do

what he said God is nothing more than a fad.

We must engage the scriptures or we end up looking

like Christians but not being Christians inside.


7/12

God Does Not Show Favoritism

What is meant by

God does not show

favoritism...?

Going down Jewish

memory lane we see

God has been

preparing them to be

a people used for His

glory and honor.

Raging Against the System

Before Peters statement about God notshowing favorites he was one who wasproud of not mixing with non-Jewish

people. But Peter through his vision and the

meeting with Cornelius learned God

wanted him to eat, walk, talk, cry and livewith all people.

God wants the same from us today!!!


9/12

Christ First

God called Peter and us

to live for the Christian

race (people) first.

We know stories like thisand yet dont follow it.

Yet we are to submit to

the Bible (2 Timothy

3:16), the Holy Spirit (2

Peter 1:20-21) and the

greatness of Christ

through his sacrifice on

the cross (Galatians

6:14).


10/12

Shifting to New Ways After Acts 10 a shift to the new

ways God was showing was

seen through Peter.

Peter realized that everything

old (His Culture, Priorities, andwhole life) has to be second to

the way God was leading him.

God wants all of us to see the

world through his lens. And to

infiltrate that lens into our own

and other cultures.


11/12

The New Normal God knew he was calling

Peter to do something

beyond his strength

something that needed

supernatural power.

That power is that of the

Holy Spirit who enlighten

and guides us.

The problem is we want tobe on easy street.

Christ The Fight to Revolutionize

The people who you do ministryfor shows who you caredeeply for.

For the disciples did ministry together and had love forone another and for Christ.

They realized that they were a chosen people called tobe together as one, not separated as many.

You should be feeling incomplete if your not doingministry outside your own cultural norm.

Peter when he realized this said this to the other Jewish

believers So if God gave them the same gift as he gaveus, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I tothink I could oppose God? (Acts 11:17, NIV)
