Stephen focused on Acts chapter 10. He emphasized the significance of prayer and the privilege of approaching God. The narrative of Cornelius, a God-fearing man, and Peter's vision illustrates the breaking down of barriers between Jews and Gentiles. Stephen explained that the body of Christ, formed on Pentecost, is a new creation that transcends traditional divisions. He likened the growth of the church to human development, highlighting the early joyful days as childhood, followed by a tumultuous adolescence filled with conflict. The church's evolution is marked by key figures like Stephen, Philip, and Paul, who helped shape its identity. Peter's vision of a sheet filled with clean and unclean animals symbolizes God's acceptance of all people, urging believers to embrace fellowship without distinction. Stephen concluded by affirming that the church is a heavenly body, designed by God to include all who are called, regardless of their background. He encouraged unity in Christ, emphasizing that all believers are cleansed and called to fellowship, reflecting God's original design for humanity.
