This is Pastor Daniel Stevenson, I'm director of the Southside Life Station and pastor of
New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church of East Toledo, and you're receiving this message
because you opted in to be encouraged.
As we're traveling briefly through the book of Acts, we stop at Acts 15, 7, where it says,
After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, Brethren, you know that
in the early days God made a choice among you, that by mouth the Gentiles would hear
the word of the Lord and believe.
What God has done becomes a testimony for what God will do.
His methods are an obvious argument for his personality.
Moreover, because he did it, it may well happen again, especially when the task can be seen
as just beginning or unending.
God wants to love people.
He wants to bring people into proper relationship with him.
God made a choice among you that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel
and believe, and this is Peter speaking.
The fact is you, an ordinary person, can take the gospel to someone who doesn't currently
know it and bring them to Jesus Christ the Lord.
There's no limitations.
Not Jews, Gentiles, doesn't matter, rich, wealthy, skin color, age, none of that matters.
Bring them to Jesus.
In Jesus' name, amen.
