Little Rock, You Got Some Splainin' to Do

In this message on Acts 11, we're challenged to examine how we discern God's will in our lives. The story of Peter's encounter with Cornelius serves as a pivotal moment in early Christianity, breaking down barriers between Jews and Gentiles. This narrative reminds us that God's love and salvation are for all people, regardless of background or status. We're encouraged to test the spirits guiding our decisions, ensuring they align with Scripture and are confirmed by other Spirit-filled believers. This message urges us to move beyond our comfort zones and preconceptions, just as Peter did, to embrace God's desires for His kingdom. It's a call to be open to God's leading, even when it challenges our long-held beliefs or cultural norms.

Takeaways:

Be led by the Spirit of God, but always test the spirits to ensure they align with God's Word.

Involve other spirit-filled believers in your decision-making process for accountability and wisdom.

Consult the Word of God as the final authority in confirming the Spirit's leading in our lives.
