In this episode, we continue our verse-by-verse study through Acts 12, where persecution against the early Church intensifies under King Herod. James is killed, Peter is imprisoned, and the Church responds by earnestly praying to God.
In this study, we discuss:
Peter being imprisoned and guarded by soldiers
The Church praying earnestly for Peter
An angel miraculously freeing Peter from prison and why Peter confused this with having a vision
The believers’ surprising reaction when Peter arrives
Herod’s pride and refusal to give glory to God
Herod’s judgment and death
Acts 12 is a powerful reminder that God remains sovereign even in persecution. Some believers experienced miraculous deliverance while others, like James, suffered for their faith—yet through it all, God’s purposes continued and His Word kept spreading.
