In this chapter we see what appears to be the triumph of evil and the reality that the only true victor is God Himself. We start with a murder of a humble Christian and we end with the death of an evil king and the ongoing spread of the gospel.
The author, Luke, has been inexorably pressing forward to what amounts to the bursting of a dam. The gospel is not for a people group, it is for the world and in this chapter we see the breaching of the dam as the gospel begins to press rapidly outward into the Gentile lands. And as we examine this story we also have the opportunity to learn a few key lessons along the way.
There is much confusion and even division within the Church regarding the work of the Spirit. Often this is due to a poor understanding of terms that are vitally connected to His work in the Church. This sermon is designed to clarify and correct many misconceptions so that there might be better unity.

We continue in this examination of the story of Cornelius the Centurion and Peter the Apostle. We discover how Peter comes to learn how the gospel affects everything, including his precious connections to the old way of worshiping YHWH. It is a critical shifting of thought for the purpose of gathering in the Gentiles in Christ.
We now are privileged to see the expansion of the gospel to the Gentiles. Cornelius serves as a key turning point in how God is working out His redemptive plan. We see the way visions guided the people in the story. We see how doubts play into all of this and yet the triumph of God's grace.
In this series we explore the biblical theology behind the attack by Hamas upon Israel and answer the question of why it matters. Why is Israel so important in the flow of human events? How should we view Israel? Why do so many in the Church seem to dismiss the nation of Israel? Should we? All of this is driven by certain theological convictions of which most are unaware of.

Though there are many opinions and approaches to war and violence within the Church-at-large, the opinions do not necessarily reflect all the subtle aspects that come with war. The same is true of Christians and internal conflicts that involve police action. The result too often is a conviction that is not based as much on the bible as the passing, ever-changing cultural climate of the time. Nations obviously exist. Police obviously need to exist. Evil cannot be ignored. And war and violence are...
