Another sermon in the “Holy Shift: God’s Unsettling Surprises” series: this time on the story from Acts 11:1-18. Peter is responding to believers in Jerusalem who have accused him of eating with the wrong kind of people.

When the dividing lines are clear between “who is in” and “who is out” the holy shift that God accomplishes is to completely change the rules. Christianity is an innovative movement!

In our own increasingly polarized world, we are also invited to respond to the invitation of the Holy Spirit. We are asked to step into “the spaces between the labels” with curiosity and love.
