Be Careful Of Encouragement. If You Don't Give God The Glory Pride Will Start To Take Over Acts 12:21-25 21On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 22They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” 23Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. 24But the word of God continued to spread and flourish. 25When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from a Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.

When You Pray Be Thankful God Hears Your Prayers; Just May Not Be Answered The Way You Want Acts 12:11-19 11Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.” 12When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. 13Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door. 14When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!” 15“You're out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.” 16But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. 17Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James and the other brothers and sisters about this,” he said, and then he left for another place. 18In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. 19After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.

Listen Intently For God's Instruction, He Can Speak In Many Different Ways Acts 12:5-10 5So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. 6The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. 7Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists. 8Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him. 9Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. 10They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.

Why? We Can Question Why Something Bad Happens, But We Will Never See The World From God's Perspective: Just Remain Vertically Focused Acts 12:1-4 1It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. 2He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. 3When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread. 4After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.

'Tis the season of the Summer movie blockbuster! Last week Christopher Nolan released his modern take on the Odyssey; next week, Spider Man: Brand New Day drops.But this week, our Bible passage has it all! Murder. Suspense. Magic. Death worms. Acts 12 will conclude our To the Ends of the Earth series, but the story is far from over. This Sunday we'll watch the end to the beginning of the early church, and see the setup for the sequel. As they say in the cinema…”To be continued…”

James has been killed, Peter is in prison asleep, and the believers are found unbelieving when an angel sets Peter free and he shows up outside their door. In reading Acts, we can relate to the early saints. They often tried their best, we found failing, or experienced hardship. But the point of Acts, the point of the church, the point of the gospel - is Christ alone. He is the hero, not us. Therefore we pray, we have faith, and we trust in Him to keep advancing His kingdom.

In Acts 12, deadly political pressure crashes into the early church as Herod Agrippa I executes James and locks Peter in maximum-security prison with a public spectacle scheduled right after the feast. While the apostle sleeps between two soldiers, the church gathers for earnest, stretched-out prayer—the kind of intense intercession that refuses to accept another apostle's head on a platter. God answers by sending an angel who strikes Peter awake, drops the chains, and walks him past guards and through an iron gate that opens by itself. Yet when the freed Peter arrives at the prayer meeting, the believers accuse the messenger of being out of her mind and nearly leave the miracle standing in the street. This message confronts our own quiet unbelief, calls us to recover bold expectation that God still opens iron gates, and urges us not to let cultural pressure shrink the mission into survival mode. Under pressure, will we sleep through the answer or get up, wrap the gospel around us, and watch the word of God increase and multiply once more?
