"Breaking Barriers: God's Heart for All Nations" with Peter Teagle

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 23 November 20245 The reading was Acts 11:1-18. Peter shares his personal journey of cross-cultural mission, from meeting his Singaporean wife's family to 25 years of ministry with international students. He explores how the gospel's spread from Jews to Gentiles wasn't primarily geographical but cultural, requiring believers to overcome their preconceptions. The talk challenges us to see cultural differences not as barriers but as adventures, encouraging practical steps like learning names, showing patience with language barriers, and trusting that the Holy Spirit goes ahead of us in reaching people different from ourselves.
