Acts 12:1-24

Aug 24, 2025    Luke Wartgow

In this sermon on Acts 12, we're reminded that the Christian journey isn't always smooth sailing. We witness the early church facing intense persecution, with James martyred and Peter imprisoned. Yet, in the midst of these trials, we see the unwavering power of prayer and God's sovereign hand at work. The miraculous prison escape of Peter serves as a testament to God's ability to overcome any obstacle, reminding us that nothing is impossible for our Lord. This narrative challenges us to examine our own prayer lives and trust in God's perfect timing and purposes, even when circumstances seem dire. It's a call to deepen our understanding of God's character, knowing that a bigger view of God leads to bolder prayers and stronger faith.
