Acts 10:9-24 shows us that we must value all humanity. Through prayer and listening to God, we are able to have our hearts and minds restored to God’s view of humanity.
I. Prayer
Prayer helps us relinquish control to God; it slows our busy minds; and it shows us a transcendental reality beyond our comprehension.
II. Listening
Prayer also puts us in a place where we can listen and hear God’s voice as we commune with him.
III. Restored View of Humanity
In Peter’s case, God revealed to him that his faith had less to do with what he was eating and more to do with who he and others were serving.
