5-14-2014      Acts 10:23-26

S.       23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends. 25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

O.      Peter and Cornelius finally meet and the first lesson Peter teaches to Cornelius is that worship is for God and God only.

A.      God uses many people and even angels to minister to us but our worship must be towards God only. I will always appreciate the blessings that come my way through other people but I must never worship any but God. I must not let others place too much importance on me or my ministry.

P.       Father; I bring to you a sacrifice of praise. To this I add myself, body, soul and spirit. Amen.
