God uses a strange vision and a Roman centurion to show Peter that the gospel is for everyone.
Peter sees a vision of a sheet descending from heaven filled with animals that Jewish law considers unclean. A voice tells him, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.' Shortly after, messengers arrive from Cornelius, a Roman centurion, asking Peter to come. When Peter preaches to Cornelius's household, the Holy Spirit falls on them — Gentiles — just as it did at Pentecost. This changes everything for the early church's understanding of who the gospel is for.

Acts
The Moment the Door Swung Open
Peter gets called out for eating with outsiders — and tells a story that silences the room. Meanwhile, scattered believers accidentally launch a church plant that reshapes the whole movement, and a new name sticks: Christians.
