Scandalous Grace - Week 5

The sermon examines Acts 11, focusing on Peter's experience with Cornelius, a Gentile, and the subsequent criticism he faced from Jewish believers in Jerusalem. It addresses the challenges of breaking with religious traditions, cultural norms, and nationalism to embrace the Kingdom of God. The central question posed is whether listeners will live for the Kingdom of God or continue to exist for the kingdom of this world. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus, not government or politicians, is the true savior, and cautions against the "gospel of Trump." The sermon stresses the importance of grace through faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, reminding listeners that God shows no partiality and that the church should be a healing agent, characterized by worship rather than criticism.
