An angel walks Peter past sleeping soldiers and a gate that opens on its own, while Herod, who let a crowd call him a god, is struck down and dies. Luke's verdict on the whole ordeal is quiet and confident: the word of God kept increasing and multiplying.

Miles away, a Roman centurion named Cornelius has already seen an angel of his own. Neither man knows what God is doing until their stories collide, and the wall between Jew and Gentile comes down for good. Christ is Lord of all — and he shows no partiality. 


In this sermon we follow Peter to Cornelius's house and watch the gospel reach further than anyone expected. Whether you've been on the outside looking in, or you're not sure there's still a place for you, the invitation is the same: come to the table.

He was a hunter of Christians, armed with letters and full of murderous zeal, when the risen Christ met him on the road to Damascus. What happens next isn't a moral tune-up (it's death and resurrection). The same Christ who is blinding Saul with glory is, in the same breath, calling him "brother" through Ananias and setting him apart as a son. This week we watch grace do what no argument could: turn Christ's chief enemy into a first-fruit of the family.

This message explores how the gospel breaks through every barrier—cultural, religious, personal—to reach the most unlikely people… including us. 


We’ll see how the Spirit leads Philip, how Scripture points to Jesus, and how one man who had always been kept at a distance is brought all the way in. Along the way, we’ll wrestle with the uncomfortable truth that we often get in the way of the gospel’s reach—either by offering inclusion without Jesus, or by adding barriers Jesus never asked for. 


Ultimately, this passage invites us to follow the Spirit into “desert places,” trust the power of the gospel, and go to the unlikely, seeing no one as too far for Christ to save.

This week, we’ll see how God calls His people to multiply joy by sending, supporting, and investing beyond themselves into new places and new people. From the early church to today, the gospel moves forward when God’s people live with open hands—releasing resources, raising up leaders, and trusting the Lord to work beyond what they can see.


Church planting is one of the clearest ways we live this out. As we invest in the future of gospel work throughout our city, we participate in something bigger than ourselves—seeing neighborhoods reached, lives transformed, and more people come to know the joy of salvation.


This is how the church multiplies joy: not by holding tightly, but by faithfully sending and celebrating all that God does.
