Acts 10:24-48 - Unlearning Sinful Habits
Peter explains to Cornelius how he had to unlearn the prejudice he harbored against Gentiles that he learned from his culture and learn how God loved all people and wants the Gospel to go out to all of the nations.

Acts 10:1-33 - Leaving Our Comfort Zones
God asked Peter to go and visit a Roman soldier to tell him about Jesus, but first Peter had to get over his aversion to interacting with people from other nations because they were ceremonially unclean. In the same way God is sending us out into the world to tell others about Him, and obeying Him will require us to get over our hang-ups, step out of our comfort zones, and sacrifice for the people around us.

Colossians 1:1-14
Deciding to become a follower of Jesus is literally being removed from the sphere of darkness, the empire of sin and evil and everything that ruins us and ruins the world and being transferred to, transferring allegiance to, another kingdom, the Kingdom of Jesus… the one who bought our freedom and forgives our sins.
