18 November 2021

 *Day 322/365 (Nov 18) PORTIONS TO READ*:

*THE FIRST GENTILE CONVERT*

Aeneas is healed - Acts 9:32-35

Dorcas is raised to life - Acts 9:36-43

Cornelius sends for Peter - Acts 10:1-8

Peter's vision - Acts 10:9-18

He goes to Cornelius - Acts 10:19-33

Peter preaches the Gospel - Acts 10:34-43

Gentiles receive the Holy Spirit and are baptised - Acts 10:44-48

The apostles contend with Peter - Acts 11:1-3

Peter's defence - Acts 11:4-18

*A thought*:

What is one of the biggest impediments to the spreading of the Gospel? Bigotry! Peter resisted the idea that Gentiles should participate in God's salvation until the Lord well and truly re-oriented him. Any bigotry in you? Then take care - God might have to turn you upside down too! 

*Week #46 - Memory Verse*:

1 Corinthians 15:55

"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
