    2026 - Acts - To the Ends of the Earth - Part 3

    2 Messages

    In Part III of our Acts Series, “To the Ends of the Earth,” we will follow Paul and his ministry as he begins his journey to Jerusalem and then to Rome in Acts 21-28. Acts 20:22 tells us that the Spirit has constrained Paul to go to Jerusalem and that imprisonment and afflictions await him in every city. Throughout these chapters we will see Paul continue to preach the Gospel as the Spirit gives opportunity, and Paul will continue to lose more of his life in service to the cross, becoming more like Jesus in the process. We invite you to join us as God challenges us through the life of Paul to lose our life to save it as we follow Jesus.

Acts 12:1-24 - Peter and James Imprisonment & Herod

Today we will be in Acts 12:1-24 looking at a second wave of persecution that hits the early church through the hand of King Herod. Herod will kill James the brother of John and will imprison Peter hoping to do the same. What would you do if we suddenly faced this kind of persecution as a church? I hope we can learn from the early church in that they immediately hit their knees in prayer. Sometimes prayer is our last go to in times of trouble. But Luke will show us it ought to be the first thing we do when difficulty comes into our lives. In fact, in response to the church’s earnest prayers, God does a miracle and releases Peter from prison by the hand of an angel. Furthermore we will consider Herod’s demise, which is also likely in response to the prayer of God’s people.
