This week we want to explore an ancient story found in the book of The Acts of the Apostles, in chapters 10 and 11. It is known as the story of the conversion of Cornelius (a centurion in the Italian Regiment). But this plot is multi-layered as we also encounter a conversion of Peter (and even others believers in Jerusalem). Everybody is transformed through this process of spiritual friendship. This is really a tale about how God rearranges everyone’s notions of how the world works. How do we look at the outside world? How do you see those who don’t believe in Christ? We are naturally susceptible to creating an “us vs them” culture. We will allow God to break down old categories and distinctions as we study “Truth and Experience.”
