Before Luke records the great missionary works of Paul, he pauses the story to give us another summary glimpse of the church, this time the church and its leaders in Antioch. It is a short passage but teaches a lot about how the church can embrace the misison of God.

The Antioch church set the example of following the Spirit's leading to release the church's most gifted workers into the mission field so that more churches can be established.

Before turning his attention to the church's missionary efforts, Luke returns to give us another story from Jerusalem. Under renewed persecution, Peter had been imprisoned by Herod. But once again, Peter would find a miraculous escape while Herod would meet his fall from pride and vanity. 

Acts 12 teaches that wisdom for life's challenges includes sleeping peacefully like Peter chained between guards the night before execution, because trust in God transcends circumstances. The angel's specific instructions to Peter—get up, get dressed, put on sandals, wrap your cloak—shows God cares about practical details even in miraculous deliverances. When Rhoda left Peter standing outside in her excitement, it illustrates how God's answers can be so unexpected that even faithful believers struggle to believe them.

Jesus protects and builds His church through prayer. He also judges those who oppose Him.

In a series of events that recall important Old Testament stories, God delivered James THROUGH death, delivered Peter FROM death, and handed Herod over TO death.

Peter escapes to the house of Mary. Herod is struck down by God and eaten by worms. And a son of the Devil is trying to make the straight path crooked.

20 Proverbs 15-16; 27 Daniel 4-7; 19 Psalms 105-106; 44 Acts 12-15

Daily Dose of Hope December 8, 2025   Scripture – Acts 12   Prayer:  Lord Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, We give you all the glory and praise.  Thank you for being a God who provides.  Thank you for being a God who heals.  Thank you for being a God who sees past our brokenness and invites us into relationship with you.  Help us, Lord, to grow more deeply in love with you every day.  More of you and less of me.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are getting to the end of our reading plan after months of walking through the Gospels and Acts.  I would love to hear what you have learned.  What have been your big takeaways?    Today, we walk through Acts 12.  Things are getting rough for Peter and the Christians.  Persecution is increasing.  Herod is getting especially agitated and throws Peter in prison.  I want to talk about the miracle of Peter being released but first let's discuss the Herod dynasty because I think that's important.  The Herodians were given power of the region of Judea by the Romans.  While they were brutal and power-hungry, they did consider themselves to be Jews.  This Herod from Acts 12 is Herod Agrippa I.  His grandfather was Herod the Great; he was the Herod who called for the killing of the Jewish baby boys after Jesus' birth.  He was the nephew of Herod Antipas, who ordered the beheading of John the Baptist and to whom Jesus was brought.    All of these Herodian kings were insecure and felt easily threatened by those who criticized them or their way of life.  Thus, this Herod was persecuting Christians and had already executed James, the brother of John.    Peter is arrested and thrown in prison with many, many layers of security.  But no soldiers or shackles can stop God!  He sends an angel who frees Peter and leads him out of the prison to a home where many believers were meeting.  The believers had been praying fervently for Peter's release and then they were shocked when he shows up at the door of the home where they had gathered.  Talk about answered prayer!  This is just the beginning of the miracles God is going to do.   Do you believe in answered prayers?  Do you pray bold prayers like these believers?  The boldness of our prayers speak volumes about how we feel about God.  It's clear that the early church believed that God was all-powerful, that God was a God of miracles, a God of provision, and a God who would take care of their every need.  The big question is – do we?   Finally, let's talk about Herod's death.  After securing some kind of peace deal, King Herod stands before the people and gives his royal address.  The people go wild!  They begin to say this is the voice of a god, not a man.  And insecure Herod just soaks it up.  But God is having none of it, and he strikes him down dead.  Y'all, arrogance does not pay.  God calls his people to be humble.  All glory and honor belong to God.  Yes, there are times in which we can be appropriately proud but we have to be very, very careful.  The way of Christ is always humility.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Join Bart and Jeff as they dig deeper into Acts 12:1-25.

Today begins with Acts 12 and the miraculous rescue of Peter from prison by an angel. Reflecting on this story, Fr. Mike helps us grapple with the mysterious reality that we are each called to say "Yes" to God's destination for us, even when we might not know the way. Lastly, Fr. Mike delves into St. Paul's hard teachings to the Corinthians on sexuality morality and excommunication. Today's readings are Acts 12, 1 Corinthians 5-6, and Proverbs 28:1-3. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Don't Fight God! | His Word, His Plan, His People Through the story of Peter's escape from prison and Herod's collapse, we're reminded that fighting God always ends in loss—but trusting Him leads to freedom. If you've been feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure, lean into this message and let God lead. Key Insights: * Fighting God only leads to loss—even if it feels like you're winning in the moment. * God's power can release you from any physical, emotional, or spiritual bondage. * Earnest, persistent prayer activates God's movement in ways we often underestimate. * There is peace available in the storm when you truly trust God to lead. * You can't glorify yourself and expect God to bless it—His glory is non-negotiable.

Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways.

Acts 12:20-25 – Kings before the King

Acts 12:6-19 – Prison Break

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for Kids! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through an extraordinary story from the Book of Acts. We hear about King Herod's persecution of the early church, the dramatic arrest of Peter, and the miraculous intervention of an angel who sets Peter free from prison. As believers gather to pray, God shows His power to rescue and help in times of trouble. Along the way, Hunter reminds us of the importance of prayer, the strength we get from God's presence, and the unshakable truth that we are deeply loved. Gather around for this inspiring adventure through scripture, and get ready to be encouraged in your own walk with God! TODAY'S DEVOTION: God hears the prayers of His people, and He is powerful to rescue. What an incredible story we hear today in the book of Acts! Peter was in a tough spot—arrested, imprisoned, and kept under heavy guard. It looked hopeless, but the church didn't give up. Instead, they prayed—earnestly, together. And God answered their prayers in a stunning way, sending an angel to set Peter free. Chains fell off, gates opened by themselves, and Peter walked right out of the prison, not even sure if it was real at first! Sometimes in life, we or our friends might face problems or things that seem impossible, just like Peter did. But God invites us to come to Him in prayer. He is strong, He is willing to help, and He is always with us. Sometimes the answer will surprise us, just like it did for Peter and the praying church. Sometimes God gives us strength to endure, or He sends help in ways we can't imagine. Psalm 46:1 says, God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. You're never alone—even when things seem dark or impossible. God's love and power can reach right into your situation. He can set you free, give you peace, and surround you with His care. So when you are in trouble, or when someone you know is facing something hard, turn to God. Ask for His help. Invite others to pray with you, too. Remember, our God is powerful and He loves you deeply. You are never out of His reach. That's a prayer I have for my own heart, for my family, and for you today: that we would remember to pray, to trust, and to lean on the God who rescues and provides. May it be so.
