Struck by God

July 25, 2021 by Brad Murphy

This sermon is part 8 of 11 in the Ready, Set, Grow! 2021

DIGITAL BULLETIN 25 July 2021

Week 8 – Ready, Set, Grow!

“Ready, Set, Grow! is a new series starting in June and going through Summer. We will study the growth moments in Acts.

In this message, you will learn how God advances His Gospel and grows His church through the persecution and rescue of His people.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

2 Corinthains 4:8-9 (ESV)
WORSHIP BY GIVING

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Acts 1:8 (ESV)

Struck by God

| Acts 12:1-25 | 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 |

About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. 2 He killed James the brother of John with the sword, 3 and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread. 4 And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people. 5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.

Acts 12:1-5 (ESV)
  1. In humility, James executed
  2. In humility, Peter rescued (the angel struck him)
  3. In humiliation, Herod killed (the angel struck him)

On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them. 22 And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” 23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
24 But the word of God increased and multiplied.

Acts 12:21-24
