If It's Not Too Good to Be True, It's Not God

What if the thing God is asking you to walk into isn't a loss at all, but the doorway to a kingdom far bigger than the one you've been living in? Graham Cooke follows Peter across the threshold of Cornelius's house, where an apostle who had never set foot in a Gentile home discovers that God "doesn't care anything for the traditions of man" and that "hundreds of millions of people" were lining up behind that one door. Then Saul, the academic theologian who was "100% on a mission from God," has "a violent encounter with grace" on the Damascus road, and thick scales fall from his eyes. Discover why God gave you a Comforter ("so that he could mess with you"), why some things have to be forcibly removed before we can see, and why Graham insists that "if grace is not scandalous, it's not grace" — because "if it's not too good to be true, it's not God."Key Scriptures:+ Acts 10:28. "And he said to them, 'You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.'"+ Matthew 15:3. "And He answered and said to them, 'Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?'"+ Philippians 3:5-6. "circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless."+ Acts 9:3-5. "As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?' And he said, 'Who are You, Lord?' And He said, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.'"+ Acts 9:17-18. "So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, 'Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.' And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized."Want to explore more?📚 Browse Graham Cooke's books and teachings: https://www.brilliantbookhouse.com/🌍 Discover the movement experiencing God's love every day: https://brilliantmovement.com/As always, thanks for listening!
