Acts 11:1-18 – Pentecost for the Gentiles (5) – Sermon Outline Intro: Peter and his Jewish brethren witness God's covenant mercy to faithful Gentiles, as the families of Cornelius and his close friends gather in his house to hear Peter preach Christ to them, then receive the H.S. Need: Peter has learned the Lord has cleansed the nations through Christ's shed blood & sovereign reign from heaven. Peter explains this to the Apostles and Jewish converts, so they also grasp that God covenants with Gentile households like Cornelius's, giving them His full Spirit, and granting to them repentance unto eternal life. Theme: Peter defends preaching Christ and baptizing Cornelius' Gentile household by:
1. Recounting the visions and activities leading to the Gentile Pentecost in Acts 10. (1-14) 2. Remembering John declared Christ would baptize with the Holy Spirit, which Cornelius and his household received. (15-16) 3. Reminding he had to baptize the household, for they were given Christ's Spirit and Christ commissioned the Apostles to baptize His people. (17-18)
