Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Spiritual Renewal

DAY 13 OF 30

  

June 13

Introduction

As noted in the readings from the last two days, chapter 10 in the book of Acts recounted Peter’s meeting with Cornelius, a Gentile, and how the Gentiles received the Holy Spirit and were baptized. In today’s reading, Peter is criticized by Jewish Christians for meeting with Gentiles, and he defends his actions.

Today’s Scripture: Acts 11:15 (GNT)

[Peter said:] “When I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came down on them just as on us at the beginning.”

Today’s Reading

Acts 11:1-18

Reflect

Why was Peter criticized? What did the Jewish Christians seek to impose on the Gentile Christians (verse 2)? How did Peter respond? How did the church leaders react to Peter’s speech? In what ways does your community of faith invite and welcome those who wish to become members?

Pray

Holy God, by your Holy Spirit, empower me to proclaim boldly the Good News of Jesus Christ and to reach out to others with the message of your love and salvation. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those seeking to join a community of faith

Tomorrow’s Reading

Acts 11:19-30: The Good News spreads beyond Palestine.
