The Tension Between Conviction and Compromise

In this powerful continuation of the Book of Acts, Art Snow explores the aftermath of Peter’s groundbreaking encounter with Gentiles in Acts 10. Acts 11 reveals the tension between divine revelation and human resistance, highlighting how deeply entrenched beliefs can be disrupted by the Spirit of God. Though Peter defends his vision and action before critics in Jerusalem, Galatians 2 later shows him compromising those same convictions. Art challenges the church to reflect on our own moments of compromise, exploring what leads us to retreat from God-given convictions—and how we can stand firm. With a call back to Galatians 2:20, the message ends in communion and a reminder that we don’t live by our own strength but by Christ living in us.
