Sermon Notes
Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe
THE GENTILES ARE CLEAN THE GENTILES HEAR THE GOSPEL THE GENTILES BELIEVE THE CHURH REJOICESThis mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean. Ephesians 2:14 says that Jesus …
… came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will
abundantly pardon.
Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? However, the challenge remains in every local context to express the reality of that fellowship by abandoning every form of prejudice, and adopting habits such as sharing food and hospitality, which practically demonstrate the unity which the NT proclaims.
