God changes us to reach others - Martin Robinson
Looking at Acts 10:1-291. God reveals His will to humans through prayer.2. We often need to change so that others might experience the wonder of Jesus. 3. The Spirit inspires a radical Good News response in the face of the world’s lies.For the sake of Jesus, can we recommit ourselves to: 1. Being so connected with Jesus in prayer that we are receptive to His loving direction and correction, which leads to transformation for the sake of others. 2. A deeper conversion to Jesus’ call to reach new people, in new places and new ways with the love of Jesus. 3. To Be Good News wherever we are - we may need a deeper conversion to living out and holding relentlessly to the Hope of Jesus as foretaste of the coming Kingdom.
