THE OTHER SIDE OF OBEDIENCE // PASTOR CECIL MATHEW

What might be waiting on the other side of your obedience? Continuing The Journey of Acts series through Acts 10, Pastor Cecil Mathew explores the story of Peter and Cornelius—two people in different places whom God was simultaneously preparing for a divine encounter. Before Peter could bring the gospel to Cornelius, however, God first had to challenge Peter’s own assumptions, perspectives, and deeply ingrained barriers. Through this story, Pastor Cecil centers the message around three questions: Where is God already working? What is God changing in me? And where is God asking me to go? Acts 10 reminds us that obedience sometimes requires God to do something in us before He can do something through us. Even Peter—an apostle who walked with Jesus, witnessed the resurrection, preached at Pentecost, and saw thousands saved—still had room to grow. God confronted his assumptions and prejudices so that the gospel could cross barriers Peter once thought were uncrossable. We may not always see the entire plan, but God often asks us simply to take the next step. One conversation, one phone call, one act of faith, or one uncomfortable yes can become part of something God has already been orchestrating behind the scenes.
