Acts 10-

Last night we looked at Acts 10. The summary version of this passage is that Peter had a vision from God that entailed crossing the boundary between what was considered clean and unclean. God's message for him was that all people are "clean" and acceptable as they are created by God and that all people are welcome in the family of God. That's the snapshot, but I recommend you read it as well.

Here are the talk points that we offered as a part of our discussion time:

1. Throughout our past study of the books of Mark and Luke we saw the concept of “leveling” happening between the high and low of society. In this text we see a different kind of leveling between Jew and non-Jew. Do we recognize this leveling in our world? What does that look like today? Do we recognize that the church is for all people?

2. This text demonstrates God’s ability to orchestrate meetings for His purposes and spreading His message. How are we being open to God’s revelation of truth to us? How are we applying that truth to the situations and interactions in which we find ourselves?

We had some good conversation surrounding these points. One person pointed out that the second point doesn't happen until the first point is figured out. Do you have other thoughts to add to the conversation?
