Viral: Part 29 - The Gentile Pentecost

In our text today Peter preaches his sermon in the house of Cornelius the Centurion. In just 255 words Peter demonstrates what are the essential truths to communicate in an effective gospel presentation. It's more than just saying, "God loves you. I love you. Are you ready to receive Jesus in your heart?" We will see how the Holy Spirit then interrupts Peter's sermon with a coming of the Holy Spirit that parallels Pentecost, the "Gentile Pentecost." In exploring this text we will also see how Christianity moves from being a "sect" of Judaism to a world religion, setting the stage for Paul's ministry to the Gentiles in his three missionary journeys and journey to Rome.
