AM Worship Sermon
The Grace of God in the Gospel (Acts 9:1-19)
Paul Stith
Old News is Good News
Acts 10:34-43
Acts 10 is pivotal as it crushes any vestige of the idea that finding forgiveness of sin in Christ is an exclusively Jewish privilege. Peter describes the way of forgiveness and it has nothing to do with becoming Jewish. One should also remember that the Gospel described here comes from an apostle and is thereby both normative and binding.
1. Peter describes the scope of the Gospel (34-36)
1a. Peter is learning that all men may come to God
1b. Peter describes the basis on which all men may come to God
2. Peter explains the content of the Gospel (37-42)
2a. The good news of peace
2b. The Authority of Jesus
2c. The public ministry of Jesus
2d. The crucifixion of Jesus
2e. The resurrection of Jesus
2f. Jesus as Judge
3. Peter describes the required response to the Gospel (43)
