Scripture: Acts 10
Speaker: Scott Meyer
Summary: The sermon uses the childhood memory of playing games at recess to illustrate how people draw lines of “in” and “out,” which we often use to judge and separate others. It focuses on Acts 10, where Peter learns through a vision and his encounter with Cornelius that God’s grace breaks down these human-made divisions. Peter, who once saw Gentiles as “unclean” outsiders, realizes God calls no one unclean and extends the same Spirit to all. The message challenges believers to move toward people they might normally avoid and not withhold grace where God has already extended it. Ultimately, it reminds us that we should see people not by their past or present but by what God’s grace can make them become.
