The Apostle Peter and Cornelius are both given an opportunity to see the grace of God on display. Cornelius is drawn by the Spirit to a desire that we wouldn't have apart from His direct intervention in our hearts. Peter likewise is reminded by the Spirit what He has plainly stated throughout history regarding the salvation of those even his culture had written off as a lost cause.

1. Don't let culture supersede the plain teachings of scripture.

2. God changes hearts and minds. We are simply one part of that process.

3. God isn't looking for a perfect evangelism to salvation ratio. Only faithful people.
