About this sermon

In Acts 12:1–19, the church faced a crisis when Peter was imprisoned, but their problems became an invitation to fervent prayer. God responded by giving Peter peace in the middle of danger and providentially sending an angel to deliver him. Pastor John uses this story to encourage us to share answered prayers as a testimony to God’s faithfulness. Our problems are invitations to prayer Prayers bring God’s peace and providence Share answered prayer Life Group Discussion: What are some situations in your life right now that could become opportunities to lean into prayer rather than worry? In what ways can consistent prayer reshape our perspective on difficult circumstances? Why is it important to share when God answers prayer, even in small ways?
