Welcome:
In today's episode we explore a pivotal moment in the early Church that teaches us about breaking down barriers based on Acts 11:1-18.

In 1987, Ronald Reagan famously urged the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, symbolizing the reunification of people divided for decades. Similarly, in the early days of Christianity, there was an invisible wall separating Jews and Gentiles. Today, we'll examine how this wall was torn down through divine intervention and human obedience, and what it means for us today.

Study Notes: Tearing Down the Walls (Acts 11:1-18)

Key Passage

Summary

This passage highlights the pivotal moment when Peter defended his actions of associating with Gentiles to the Jewish believers in Jerusalem. It underscores the divine mandate to include Gentiles in the Christian community without requiring them to follow Jewish customs.

Main Points

  1. Peter’s Encounter and Charges Against Him (Acts 11:1-3)
    • Jewish believers criticized Peter for eating with Gentiles.
    • This criticism stemmed from deep-rooted Jewish customs and purity laws.
  2. Peter’s Explanation (Acts 11:4-17)
    • Peter recounts his vision and divine instruction to not call anything impure that God has made clean.
    • He shares how the Holy Spirit fell on the Gentiles, signifying God's acceptance of them.
  3. Response of the Jerusalem Believers (Acts 11:18)
    • The Jewish believers praised God for granting repentance that leads to life to the Gentiles as well.

Key Themes

  • Divine Inclusivity: God's salvation is available to all, regardless of ethnic or cultural background.
  • Breaking Barriers: The early Church faced and overcame significant cultural barriers to unify believers.
  • Faith Alone: Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not through adherence to cultural or ceremonial laws.

Reflection Questions

  1. What walls or barriers exist in our lives or communities today that hinder people from coming to Christ?
  2. How can we apply the principle of divine inclusivity in our daily interactions with others?
  3. In what ways can we ensure that our practices and traditions do not become obstacles to others experiencing God's grace?

Application

  • Personal: Reflect on any personal prejudices or biases that might create barriers between you and others. Pray for God's help to overcome these and to see everyone as worthy of His love.
  • Community: Engage in conversations and activities that promote inclusivity and unity within your church and community.
  • Global: Support and participate in missions and outreac
