    God chooses to let things happen or supernaturally intervenes based upon His own purposes.

    Our Unpredictable God (Acts 12:1-23) 1. We love predictable sayings. In Texas, for example, they say, "Everything is big in Texas." But not always. 2. This week, we read of a special birth in Indonesia. Take note that Indonesia is not in Texas: KISARAN, Indonesia – Indonesia’s heaviest-ever ...read more

    No one, not a single person in this story expects Peter to be released. Not Herod, not the guards, not the people of the church, not even Peter himself. Still, God answers the prayer.

    Peter was in a crisis. The church responded appropriately – they pray! • Yet when the news was told that “Peter is at the door!” their response was, “You’re out of your mind.” • The servant girl insisted but they resisted, and gave the excuse, “It must be his angel.” • You see, they even tried ...read more

    Perseverance In A Dry Place

    Contributed by Noel Atkinson on Apr 29, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,456 views

    This sermon looks at how God honours our prayers and dedication even when we are spiritually dry. When we do not 'feel' like serving him but serve him anyway. It encourages perseverance, stretching out, prayer and faith that God can do 'big things'.

    Perseverance in a dry place John Ortberg from Menlo Park Presbyterian Church recalls A man I'll call Paul (because that's actually his name) told me he recently started going to church. In his mid-seventies, with no faith background, he woke up one morning with a sudden urge to hear the pope, ...read more

    Even as I’m concerned about people who misunderstand the purpose of prayer, I’m also concerned about those who do understand, but who seem to pray with no expectation of God honoring prayers or acting on our behalf.

    Be prepared for challenges. We can expect hardships in life. We can stay on course by praying.

    The moment the disciples put their faith in Jesus, they were declaring war against the devil.

    Wild Praying Series

    based on 115 ratings
     | 30,383 views

    Do you believe in praying bold and wild prayers? Do you believe that if you asked God to do something "impossible" that He would? Frankly, the story in Acts 12 doesn't look like these folks believed that. Did God look down on them for their doubt?

    OPEN: Back in 1540 Martin Luther was very distressed. His good friend and assistant, Friedrich Myconius, was sick and was expected to die within a short time. From his bed Myconius wrote a tender farewell letter to Luther. When Luther received the message, he immediately sent back this reply: ...read more

    Prayer

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Aug 14, 2013
     | 13,319 views

    Acts 12 has both answered and unanswered prayers within it. We tend to like it better when we get a "yes" from heaven, but God might actually be doing greater things for us when the answer is "no."

    When is the last time you prayed earnestly for something? What do you expect when you pray? What do you pray for most? I think about the family of a small child who is dying in a cancer ward. They pray night and day and are joined in prayer by hundreds of others asking God to spare the life of ...read more
