Aftershocks - Acts 11

In his sermon, Pastor Miller discusses Acts chapter 11, focusing on the transition from a primarily Jewish Christian congregation to one that includes Gentiles. The narrative unfolds with a conflict arising between Jewish believers and Peter due to his interactions with Gentiles, which challenges established Jewish laws. Pastor Miller draws parallels to the "Jesus Revolution" movement of the 70s, underlining its lasting impact on the Church and the ongoing aftershocks felt in the present. He highlights Peter's unwavering obedience to the Holy Spirit's guidance, even in situations that go against established norms, illustrating how obedience to God's call can bring divine pleasure. Additionally, the passage mentions the spread of Christianity to Antioch, the emergence of the term "Christian" to describe Christ-like believers, and the Antioch church's compassionate response to a famine in Judea through the provision of relief.
