Our God at Work (Acts 10)

Acts chapter 10 this morning.

We'll be looking at the entire chapter this morning, but I won't be reading the entire chapter.

I'm going to read verses 1 through 8.

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian cohort, a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people and prayed continually to God.

About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, "'Cornelius!' And he stared at him in terror and said, "'What is it, Lord?' And he said to him, "'Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.'" And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter.

He is lodging with one Simon of Tanner whose house is by the sea.

When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attended him.

And having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

Father in heaven, as we look at Acts 10 this morning, it's our hope that you would be our teacher, that you would fill us with your wisdom and knowledge that comes from this text.

I pray that we would see our great God at work and that we would be inspired to work with you, Lord.

In Jesus' name.

Amen.
