Packinghouse’s Sunday morning worship service from November 8, 2026.
When Peter tells the church in Jerusalem how God saved a group of Gentiles, some believers are upset because he had spent time with people they considered unclean. But Peter explains that God gave these Gentiles the same Holy Spirit He had given the Jewish believers, showing that salvation through Jesus is for everyone. This reminds us that we can sometimes let our traditions, personal preferences, and comfort zones keep us from reaching the very people God wants us to love. Rather than judging others or keeping our distance, we're called to welcome people, share the gospel, and celebrate what God is doing in their lives. God's grace isn't meant to be kept behind walls, but shared with the world.
