Song: Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus!
Scripture: Acts 10:1-48
Peter’s sermon to Cornelius’ house needs an audience today as much as when he first spake it.
“God shows no partiality.” Let us not either. Let no prejudice cause you to refrain from doing good to another when it’s in your power to do so.
“Whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.” A healthy dose of fear and a generous portion of righteousness will keep you in God’s favor today. The former will keep you out of trouble. The latter will keep you on task.
“The word which God sent… that word you know.” God has spoken. We don’t have to guess what He thinks, what He wants. We can read. We can know. Thank God for such a privilege today.
“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power.” Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Good news can. The good news of God tabernacling among men, suffering between thieves, sleeping beside the dead, bursting from the tomb, reigning above the heavens. That came from Nazareth and equips us for Eternity.
“He commanded us to preach to the people.” He still does. “And the things you have heard from me…commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Timothy 2:2). If you want to strengthen your commitment today commit someone else to following the Lord.
Shall we stand and sing?
