The Church has been called a lot of different things over time. When you think of words that describe the local church, do you think of words like caring, compassionate, accepting, influential and worshipful? Or do words like judgmental, critical and ethnocentric come to mind? In Acts 11 a small, critical group of people made the Church out to be racially biased and ethnocentric. Considering current situations in our nation, it is not coincidence that God has us jumping back into our study of Acts at this particular point in the story. Let's learn from the mistakes of those who have gone before us and discover how to be a church that ministers to people from all walks of life.
