Acts of the Apostles - Episode 2
In this powerful exploration of Acts, we witness the early church's explosive growth and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. The central theme revolves around God's plan to spread the Gospel beyond cultural and ethnic boundaries. We see how persecution, rather than hindering the church, became a catalyst for its expansion. The conversion of Saul, later known as Paul, stands out as a testament to God's ability to radically change hearts. This narrative challenges us to examine our own openness to God's unexpected ways of working. Are we, like Peter, willing to let go of our preconceptions and embrace God's inclusive love for all people? The story of Cornelius reminds us that God doesn't show favoritism, but accepts all who fear Him and do what is right. As we reflect on these accounts, let's consider how we might be instruments of God's grace, breaking down barriers and sharing the good news with boldness and love.
