🌿 Sunday Sermon Recap 🌿
📖 Scripture: Acts 11
We continue with our series of sermons on Acts. Last Sunday, we learned about When God Opens Doors—how God can challenge our traditions, expand our vision, and use ordinary believers to accomplish extraordinary things. Acts 11 reminds us that when God opens a door, our response should be to trust, obey, and make ourselves available for His purpose.
🔹 God Expands Our Vision
The vision of the sheet was not really about food—it was about people. God was teaching Peter that His grace is for everyone.
📖 Acts 11:1–18
🔹 God Uses Ordinary Believers
Even when persecution scattered the believers, the Gospel continued to spread. God used ordinary Christians in different places to share His Word. Barnabas, though not as prominent as Peter or Paul, was instrumental in encouraging believers and helping Paul step into his calling.
📖 Acts 11:19–26
🔹 God Builds a Generous Church
When the believers in Antioch learned about the coming famine, they responded by giving according to their ability to help their brothers and sisters in Judea. Loving God means loving and caring for others. Our generosity becomes a tangible expression of God’s love.
📖 Acts 11:27–30; Philippians 2:4
Reflection
When God opens doors, don’t let tradition, fear, or limitations keep you from walking through them. Allow Him to expand your vision, use your ordinary life for His extraordinary purpose, and make your heart generous toward others.
God may open a door you never expected—will you be willing to walk through it?
