The Challenge for Us within God’s Blessing for All

May 18, 2025 — Fifth Sunday of Easter
Rev. Anne Jernberg Scalfaro

In Acts 11, Peter realizes through his vision and encounter with Cornelius that God’s Spirit is poured out on all people, not just one group. This reminds us that true faithfulness comes from God’s inclusive grace, not from our traditions or boundaries. The challenge for us today is to live out that truth—welcoming others fully and asking, “Who are we to hinder God?”

Scripture: Acts 11:1-18
