Act 12:1-24 | Praying for Breakthrough | Welcome Church, Woking
In Acts 12, Christopher explores how to navigate crisis through the lens of Peter's miraculous rescue. Rather than relying on their own strength, the church demonstrates that breakthroughs come through these five practices:
- Ask for prayer: Don't bear heavy burdens alone (11:43-14:44).
- Trust in God: Like Peter sleeping in prison, we can trade anxiety for peace (14:45-17:55).
- Obey: Take small, faithful steps forward even when weak (17:56-21:56).
- Expect answers: Don't rationalize God's work; stay ready to celebrate His intervention (21:57-28:39).
- Humble yourself: Trust God's sovereign plan, even when outcomes differ from our prayers (28:40-38:05).
Ultimately, our hope rests in the work of Jesus, not our circumstances.
