Are We Listening - Acts 10:9-23

Luke shares with us some ways that God speaks to us.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
