This sermon focuses on Acts chapter 11, primarily, as Peter goes back to Jerusalem to give a report on the Holy Spirit's activity at Cornelius' house.

We then, shift to the birth of the Church in Antioch where the disciples of Jesus were first called Christians.

Acts 10 tells the story of Peter bringing the good news of Jesus to Cornelius' household. This is a major shift in the book of Acts as Cornelius is a Gentile, and at this point, Christianity had only been spreading among Jewish people.

After Peter's proclamation of the Gospel, the Holy Spirit is manifested among the Gentiles in a similar fashion to the Day of Pentecost.

Have you ever heard the phrase "born-again"? In some circles of Christianity, this phrase is often used to talk about conversion - becoming a Christian. They might call themselves a "born-again" Christian.

But how does one become "born-again"? What does it look like?

In Acts, chapter 9, we get a glimpse of just such a conversion. Saul has been persecuting the Church...but by the time Jesus is done with him - he has an entirely new outlook on life. He's a new person. He's born-again!

In this sermon, Pastor Kevin walks through the conversion of Saul, to highlight the ways in which God continues to "convert" us towards His grace + mercy in our daily walks with Jesus.
