Are We Listening - Acts 10:9-23
Luke shares with us some ways that God speaks to us.
- God Speaks Through Prayer (9-12)
- When we pray, we open our ears and our heart to God.
- Peter was hungry and wanted to eat but decided to pray until the meal was ready.
- Prayer opens the door for God to communicate to us.
- God Speaks Through Circumstances (13-16)
- Peter hears a voice that says, “Get up, Peter, kill and eat.”
- Peter says, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy or unclean.”
- This happened 3 times and immediately the sheet was taken up into the sky.
- God Speaks Through People (17-22)
- Peter was to go downstairs and not hesitate to go with them for God had sent them.
- Cornelius was a righteous, God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of Jews.
- God sends people our way to help us make sense of the struggles and difficulties of life.
