This Sunday is an all-age service. If you want to read the whole passage in advance, this chapter covers from Acts 9:32-11:18. After Saul’s dramatic conversion in the previous passage, this section deals with another conversion story that is possibly even more significant. Because this is the first recorded instance of a non-Jewish (Gentile) individual and his family receiving the Gospel and becoming followers of Jesus. The leaders of the early church struggled at first to understand how God could even pour out the Holy Spirit upon these Gentiles. It was a massive challenge for them to comprehend that the good news of Jesus is for all people. Let us pay attention to Peter’s words in our verse for the week, and never try to stand in the way of God showing his goodness and mercy to every single human being, regardless of whether we think they are the 'right kind of people'.

 

Please remember that the clocks go forward one hour this Sunday morning. We don't want to see anyone turning up at midday this year!
