Acts 10:1–33 is one of the most carefully constructed passages in the book of Acts — a cinematic, back-and-forth account of God simultaneously preparing two very different men for a meeting neither of them would have sought on their own. Before the gospel crosses its greatest cultural barrier, God moves from both directions at once: softening the heart of a Roman soldier, breaking open the categories of a Jewish fisherman. This sermon explores the doctrine of providence—the invisible hand of God working ahead of us — and what it means for how we engage in mission. God has sent us to the nations. But in his providence, he has also sent the nations to us.
