He was a complex character, we're all complex characters.\n10:12 We're never correct to reduce any person to one defining thing; it tends to bring out one of four bad responses. We're all multifaceted.\n13:08 In this passage we get to see how God saw Cornelius.\n15:52 A thought experiment.\n20:12 Good isn't bad; good is good. It's just not good enough to close the gap between us and God.\n23:16 The gap Cornelius had and his angelic visitors. God's methods are intentionally messy and inefficient.\n28:14 In this chapter we've seen Cornelius as a leader of people, show self-leadership, and now he looks to Peter for leadership.\n34:11 We need to trust Jesus enough to deconstruct our self-imposed rules so that he can rule. It's all about heart orientation.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/eGW0GjLFQWz3qpPjio-ji_5x5MOSNJlW79nf4VSHKIM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI4Mzk3LzE2ODMw/MzYzMDItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
