This week on Extra Slice, Nick continues our journey through Acts, digging deeper into Acts 10 and the extraordinary story of Peter and Cornelius.

What happens when God asks us to cross boundaries that feel deeply ingrained? Nick explores Peter’s vision, the cultural barriers between Jews and Gentiles, and the moment Peter begins to grasp just how wide the good news of Jesus really is.

We also think about those who might believe, pray or have a sense of God but remain on the edges of church life; what it means to shape our everyday lives around our Christian identity; and why Peter’s declaration that “God shows no partiality” is such a significant moment.

And ultimately, it comes back to the heart of the gospel: Jesus is Lord.

If Jesus really is Lord of all, what does that mean for the way we spend our time, our money and our energy — and the way we live the life God has given us?

What happens when God starts breaking down the boundaries of who we think belongs?

In Acts 10, Peter finds himself in the home of Cornelius — a Roman centurion and someone he would never have expected to be part of God’s story.

But the message is clear: God has no favourites.

This week, Nick explores a story of unexpected welcome, the movement of the Holy Spirit, and a Gospel that reaches beyond the people and places we might expect.

Wherever you’ve come from, wherever you’ve been, whatever you’ve done — there is a place for you.

Paul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus is one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible — but is it really the model for how everyone becomes a Christian?

In this week’s Extra Slice, Nick digs deeper into Acts 9, exploring Paul’s calling, the often-misunderstood Saul/Paul name change, what it means to be truly connected to Christ, and the wonderfully simple faithfulness of Ananias.

Not everyone has a dramatic “Damascus Road” moment — and that doesn’t make anyone a second-class Christian. Sometimes faith grows through years of faithful people praying, encouraging, teaching and simply being there.

Perhaps our calling isn’t to manufacture dramatic encounters with God, but simply to be ready to say: “I’ll go where you lead me, Lord.”

Saul sets out for Damascus determined to arrest followers of Jesus. But an encounter on the road changes everything.

In this week’s Sunday Sermon from Acts 9, Rob explores Saul’s extraordinary transformation, the courage of Ananias, and those two remarkable words: “Brother Saul.”

What really defines us — our past, our successes, our failures, what other people think of us… or who Jesus says we are?

As we celebrate Harvest, we’re reminded that grace, identity and belonging aren’t things we achieve. They are gifts we receive.

In this week’s Extra Slice, Nick takes another look at the story of Philip and the Ethiopian official in Acts 8.

Philip responds to God’s prompting, steps away from where he is comfortable and discovers that God is already at work in the life of someone he has never met. It is a story about listening, being willing to go, helping others understand Scripture and making space for everyone to respond to Jesus.

What might happen when we are prepared to let God interrupt our plans?

Acts 8:26–40
Part of STG+ from St George’s Church, Wilton, Taunton.

Have you ever felt like God was speaking to you? And what happens when He asks you to take a step without telling you why?

In the first of our STG+ Sunday Sermons, we explore Acts 8:26–40 and the extraordinary encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch.

It’s a story about listening to God, stepping out in faith, belonging when you’ve felt like an outsider — and discovering that the invitation of Jesus really is for everyone.

“You don’t have to be on the outside. You can come in.”

Recorded at St George’s Church, Wilton, Taunton, as part of our journey through the book of Acts.

Welcome to Extra Slice!

This week, Nick takes us a little deeper into Acts 4, picking up some of the themes from Sunday and exploring what they might mean for us today.

Extra Slice is a chance to go beyond Sunday’s teaching — with more thoughts, questions and reflections to help us dig deeper into the Bible and live out our faith through the week.
