Empowered to Believe
May 3100:33:05Tap to summarizeAs Peter preaches to a Gentile household, the Holy Spirit falls and confirms that God’s grace is for all people. The Spirit breaks down walls of prejudice and expands the church’s vision of who can belong. Belief itself is a work of the Spirit — opening hearts to receive Jesus and uniting people across every line that divides us. In this final movement of our study in Acts, we see that life in the Spirit is life without limits: the Gospel of Jesus is truly for everyone. May we have the power to believe that every day!

Wherever we’ve been hardened, blinded, or stuck, the Spirit still specializes in transformation. He opens our eyes to see God’s kingdom and reorders our lives around grace.
