The Gospel to the Gentiles: God and the Seeker | Acts 10:1–8

 • Pastor Steven Pratt, Jr. • Series: Acts of the Apostles

Have you ever met someone who seems to be reaching for God, even if they don’t yet know who He is? Acts 10 introduces us to Cornelius—a Roman soldier, a Gentile, a man outside the covenant, yet deeply sincere in his pursuit of God. In this pivotal moment in Church history, we see that God sees the seeker, hears their prayers, and orchestrates divine appointments to bring them to saving truth. This message will deepen your understanding of God’s heart for the lost and challenge you to be ready when He calls you to reach them. Sermon Overview: Main Text: Acts 10:1–8 Theme: How God works in the heart of the sincere seeker and prepares His people to reach them with the Gospel. Purpose: To encourage believers to recognize God’s work in those who are spiritually searching and to be ready to respond when He sends us. Takeaways: God sees a life of sincere devotion—even before the Gospel is known. True seekers are marked by humility, reverence, generosity, and prayer. God responds to seeking hearts with revelation and guidance. Believers must be ready to carry the Gospel to those whom God is already drawing. Quote of the Week: “God doesn’t wait for someone to be perfect—He moves toward those who are reaching. Cornelius’s life shows us: when a heart is seeking, Heaven is watching.” — Pastor Steven Pratt
