In Acts chapter twelve God delivers Peter from a prison cell, right on the heels of the church praying for the situation. But have ever wondered why He doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we had hoped?  As we’ll see today, God has His reasons, and we might not fully understand them this side of heaven.

The Lord never promised us a trouble-free life! Rather He said we should expect persecution in our walk.  At this point in the early church tragedy strikes.  James was killed and Peter thrown in prison.  It’s interesting to note that the church would respond by praying.  Pastor Jeff will encourage us to do the same.

In case you haven’t noticed, as believers in Christ, we’re in a war!  A spiritual war.  And when the enemy attacks, we can counter-attack through prayer and the Word of God.  That comes to our attention in a powerful way today on Sound Doctrine as we open Acts chapter twelve.

Once we become saved, and go about serving the Lord, it’s important to realize it’s not to be done in our own strength or by our own resources.  Rather it’s to be by the Spirit!  We see that beautifully on display in the Christians from Antioch!  You also can’t help but see that their conversion affected every area of their lives, including how they gave.

Pastor Jeff is in the middle of a study in Acts, and we left off last time in chapter eleven, at verse 24.  If you’ll recall, many souls were being saved at this particular time.  And now we’ll see God’s plan for discipleship begin to unfold.  A big part of it involves exhortation and the teaching of the Word!

Open that Bible of yours to Acts 11 and join us for Sound Doctrine. Though it was a difficult time for the early church, It’s quite evident that the Lord was moving in incredible ways!  The preaching of the Gospel was going out, and people were coming to Christ left and right!  God wants to do the same thing today!
