Morning Worship, 10:30 am

The Easter season continues and so do our readings from the Book of Acts.  The stories from Acts have a lot to teach us about the early church and the issues with which it struggled.  One of the issues it struggled with was the question of "Who's in and who's out?"  Peter, chief spokesperson for the apostles, thought the only people who were included in God's embrace were Jews.  He didn't think he needed to preach Christ's message to anyone else.  But then, he had a change of heart.  Well, actually, Peter had a conversion.  God ledhim to the house of Cornelius, a Gentile, someone Peter believed to be an outsider but God considered to be an insider.   Who are the Cornelius' of our day?  And can we, like Peter, keep an open mind as to where God leads us?
