Sermon: Acts 10-12: Visions, Dreams, and Gentiles
10th Century Representation of Gospel Writer Luke
The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce its latest sermon which is at its ContinuingCOG channel:
This is the fourth part of a multi-part sermon series intended to cover the entire Book of Acts. In this sermon Dr. Thiel discusses Peter’s vision, Cornelius’ message from an angel, clean and unclean meats, the martyrdom of James, the jailing and release of Peter, Herod’s death, the famine in Judea, dreams, past and coming persecution. Many did not want to accept Peter’s vision in the trance or the Gentile’s angels. Dr. Thiel reads each verse of chapters 10 through 12 of the Book of Acts and ties many verses in with other parts of the Bible. Certain similarities between how God worked in the 1st and 21st century are also discussed.
Here is a link to the fourth part of this sermon series: Acts 10-12: Visions, Dreams, and Gentiles.
