Today, Pastor Stephen Mizell is joined by co-hosts Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Wendy Korbusieski for a powerful conversation in the book of Acts, exploring how God shows no favoritism, how the Holy Spirit interrupts our plans, and how His grace continually astonishes us through the people He saves.  Scripture Focus: Acts 10:24-48 - This passage covers Peter's visit to Cornelius's house, a significant moment where Peter, a strict Jew, enters a Gentile's home in obedience to God's vision. Peter declares that God shows no favoritism, the Holy Spirit falls on the Gentiles present, and they are baptized, marking a pivotal expansion of the gospel beyond Jewish believers.  In This Episode:   Peter's obedience in showing up without knowing the full plan What truly qualifies someone as an &quot;apostle&quot; according to Scripture How &quot;God shows no favoritism&quot; should shape local outreach and evangelism  Recognizing and overcoming personal prejudices and blind spots  Staying sensitive to the Holy Spirit's movement within structured church services The difference between church structure as &quot;tracks&quot; versus a &quot;cage&quot;  Stories of God's grace astonishing the hosts through unexpected salvations   Key Quote: &quot;Structure should be tracks, not a cage. Structure should be tracks that you run on - you're moving from point A to point B, not a cage that we got to keep it inside of.&quot;  About One Single Story: One Single Story is a weekday devotional podcast offering brief, conversational lessons drawn from a section of that day's reading in the One Year Bible.
