Faith Amidst Persecution: Peter's Miraculous Deliverance in Acts 12Pastor Josh from Middletown Baptist Church delves into Acts chapter 12, discussing the persecution faced by the early church and the miraculous deliverance of Peter from prison. The sermon underlines the importance of persistent prayer, unwavering faith, and God’s sovereignty in both favorable and challenging circumstances. It also highlights Peter’s testimony of deliverance, Herod’s hubris and downfall, and the triumph of God's word amidst adversity. The message encourages Christians to live boldly, engage in prayer continually, and impact their sphere of influence for the gospel.00:00 Welcome and Introduction00:23 Persecution of the Early Church01:24 The Power of Prayer02:26 Peter's Miraculous Escape03:22 Faith and Doubt in Prayer06:55 Peter's Testimony and Encouragement13:08 Herod's Downfall and God's Judgment23:10 Living Boldly as Christians24:40 Involvement in Politics and Faith25:17 The Power of Small Groups26:10 Defeating a Defeatist Mindset28:00 The Unstoppable Word of God30:46 The Role of Doctrine and Prayer35:50 Impacting Your Sphere of Influence42:13 Adapting the Gospel Message44:22 Closing Thoughts and PrayerThank you for joining our podcast.
