Payton White shares in our series, Acts. This week we look at Acts 12.

Acts 12:5-17

Reader: Danita O'Loughlin Preacher: Jonathan Smith Chapter 12 is a commentary about where ultimate power lies. Herod Agrippa I is at the height of his authority - executing apostles, imprisoning Peter, enjoying the applause of crowds who honour him as a god. By the end of the chapter he is dead while Peter walks free. The church's weapon against its persecutors is not force, but prayer fervent, persistent, corporate prayer (v5). Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make allbecau of life all about Jesus.

 When God Ways Do Not Fit Our Expectations 

Acts of the Apostles chapter 12 reveals God's sovereign power in the midst of persecution. King Herod intensifies his attack on the church, executing James and imprisoning Peter. While Peter is held under heavy guard, the church prays earnestly for him. God answers by sending an angel to miraculously free Peter from prison. Meanwhile, Herod's pride leads to his downfall when he accepts glory that belongs to God alone. The chapter closes with a powerful reminder that despite opposition, God's Word continues to grow and spread. Acts 12 teaches that prayer is powerful, God is able to deliver His people in impossible situations, and no earthly power can stop His purposes. Key Verse: “But prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.” — Acts 12:5 Hashtags: #Acts12 #PowerOfPrayer #GodDelivers #PeterFreed #FaithInAction #GodIsSovereign #ChurchInPrayer #TrustGod #WordOfGodGrows #GiveGodTheGloryBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.“Thank you for listening to SendMe Radio — where we share the Gospel, inspire faith, and keep you connected with powerful stories and updates from around the world.

Did God punish Herod too harshly in Acts 12? Was God fair to hold him accountable for something he didn't do? In this episode, Emma Dotter covers the death of Herod at the end of Acts 12, explaining why he was immediately struck down when people called him a god. She explores what this passage tells us about God's holiness, character, and perfect justice, as well as man's accountability for sin, and what it all means for us today. // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES:  S4:268 Acts 12-14 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-268-acts-12-14/id1600151923?i=1000735847137)  // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY? Join The Journey is a realistic daily Bible reading plan that helps followers of Jesus at Watermark Community Church and beyond enjoy abiding in Jesus together.

Join Pastor Kent Christmas as he delves into the biblical story from Acts 12, exploring the importance of knowing when to pray and when to take action. Through a powerful sermon, Pastor Christmas highlights the role of faith and prayer in overcoming trials, using the story of Peter's miraculous escape from prison as an example of divine intervention. This inspiring message encourages viewers to open the doors of faith in their lives.

Are you ever surprised when God answers prayers? Should we pray even if we doubt God will answer? How do emotions play into doubt? In this episode, Emma Dotter explores how the early church was surprised by God answering their prayers for Peter to be freed from prison, how that applies to our prayer lives today, and how God doesn't rely on our emotional stability to answer prayers. // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES:  S4:268 Acts 12-14 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-268-acts-12-14/id1600151923?i=1000735847137)  // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY? Join The Journey is a realistic daily Bible reading plan that helps followers of Jesus at Watermark Community Church and beyond enjoy abiding in Jesus together.

With season 1 and 2 complete we move into Acts: Season 3. The narrative shifts to Antioch and the focus is on Saul - also known as Paul - as he shares the gospel in Gentile areas. ___ Luke gives us a picture of the culture of the church at Antioch - diverse and serving and worshipful - led by prophets and teachers who are willing to send and be sent.

"In today's Conversations for the Journey, host and Care Director Wes Butler leads us in praying through Acts 12. This week, Wes leads us in prayer for three things: for those who are greiving to receive comfort, for those asking for a miracle, and for faith in us to wait on God's answers.

Acts 12 reminds us that it is the norm for God's people to find themselves in situations so far beyond their control that they feel helpless and hopeless. James is executed, Peter is imprisoned, and Herod appears to have all the power. While Herod displays his control, the church prays earnestly, Peter rests peacefully, and God continues to accomplish his purposes. This passage invites us to trust God's sovereignty, to pray fervently, to find our peace in who God is, and to remember that, in the end, there is only one who is truly in control.

Not even the murder of an apostle can hinder the Lord's conquering of His enemies and the advance of His word. CMC, let us be confident in Jesus' promise to build His church.

Acts 12:1-6

This talk was given by Andrew Walker at St Jude's Church Southsea on 31 May 2026. The Bible readings were Acts 12:1–19 (primary), with references to Romans 8:26–27 and Ephesians 6:10–18. Warm and down-to-earth, the talk moves from the humour of Rhoda at the door to the hard edges of persecution, holding together realism and hope. Andrew encourages prayer that is honest, persistent, and expectant, without pretending outcomes are always the same. He offers practical help for different prayer temperaments, urging each of us to discover and use the way we best pray. The closing invitation is simple: become more wholehearted in prayer, look for God's action, and ask the Holy Spirit to raise our expectancy, deepen our love for Jesus, and lead us into freedom.

Acts 12:22-24 New Living Translation   22 The people gave him a great ovation, shouting, “It's the voice of a god, not of a man!” 23 Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people's worship instead of giving the glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died. 24 Meanwhile, the word of God continued to spread, and there were many new believers.

Season 1 of Acts took place in Jerusalem and as we step into season 2 we are moving to Judea and Samaria. It took persecution to move the Christians from the comfort of Jerusalem to their calling to reach the ends of the earth but God will use it in His power. ___ As "season two" wraps up, we see the Lord's concern for His glory. Herod Agrippa I - by way of insecurity and family history - craves the worship of people. In this passage he is called a god by the people of Phoenicia and accepts the praise rather than rolling it forward to God and he is struck with a disease and dies. We see that God's concern for His glory is a concern for His people. Humans cannot bear the weight of glory.

They prayed all night for Peter. When he showed up at the door, they told the girl she was imagining things. Acts 12 walks through Herod's persecution of the early church, the death of James, Peter's arrest and release, and what the church's response to all of it reveals about where their faith had landed. Pastor Scott Ethridge and Carlos Renfroe break it down verse by verse.

Acts 12:6-25 Bible studyJames had just been executed and Herod wanted to go for Peter next. Peter was arrested, put in prison, and chained between soldiers. What was Peter doing while he was awaiting trial?

This week we talk about Mothers, Sound of Music, French Dips, and of course Acts 12. The main topic this week is how, through the power of prayer, God delivers his people from the power of the world.

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron preaches this main point: Through the power of prayer God delivers his people from the power of this world.

Life doesn't always feel like it's going according to plan — and for the earliest followers of Jesus in Acts 12, that was an understatement. James is killed. Peter is thrown in prison. Herod is winning. And yet, God is still sovereignly at work. In this week's message from our "Welcomed." series, we explore three powerful truths from Acts 12: God is sovereign when life feels like death, God is sovereign in His answers to prayer, and God is sovereign over every earthly authority and power. Whether you're in a season of waiting, grieving an unanswered prayer, or tempted to place your hope in political systems or human solutions, this message is an invitation to trust the One who is truly in charge. The welcome of Jesus doesn't promise a smooth ride — but it does promise that the God of the resurrection is still at work, even when we can't see it.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

Episode: The House That Heaven Hears and Hell Fears Series: My Church, My House God never intended for prayer to stay in the church building. He intended for prayer to get in the house. In this powerful message from Acts 12, Apostle Raley walks us into a real crisis. A real king. A real prison. A real church. And a real prayer meeting inside a real home. Herod had killed James. Peter was next. But while the enemy was scheming, a house was praying, and everything changed. You'll hear why the miracle didn't start in the prison. It started in the house. You'll learn what it means to "remove the leaven," how to pray with fervency that refuses to quit, and why a praying house becomes a peaceful house, a favored house, and an overcoming house. Stay tuned after the message for a special segment from Apostle Raley: "A Consecrated Casa, How to Pray Over Your Home," where we give you practical, Spirit-led tools to turn your address into an atmosphere Heaven hears and Hell fears. Press play. Take the altar home. Then come back tomorrow and do it again.
