Acts 10:1-23
God at Work: The Story of Acts

This week, Pastor David shared a powerful message about how God prepares our hearts to receive His word. Using a personal story about relocating their garden's rich soil with the help of community members, Pastor David drew parallels to the Parable of the Sower. He emphasized how God tills the soil of our hearts, much like how Delbert Tilgner and Howard Classen moved and enriched the garden soil. By looking at Acts chapter 10 and the story of Cornelius, Pastor David illustrated that God works behind the scenes to ready our hearts for Christ. The takeaway was clear: just as God prepared Cornelius and Peter, He prepares us to receive and share His message. The core message is that when God prepares our hearts, we become fertile ground, ready to receive and act on His word.
