1 Corinthians 1:10-13

Imprisoned for the Gospel

Acts 12

God responded to the church's prayers and delivered Peter from prison.

When Peter was arrested and put in prison, the church prayed fervently to God for him. God delivered Peter miraculously, but the church failed to believe he had been rescued at first. In a similar way, Jesus had taught His disciples that He would die and be raised again, but they too failed to believe at first. When they saw and experienced the resurrected Savior, their faith increased.

Because God's love, power and sovereignty are proven, in the resurrection of Jesus, we pray with anticipation that God works in us and through us as we seek to make Jesus known.

Welcomed by the Gospel

God confirmed that salvation had come to the Gentiles through the giving of the Holy Spirit who unites all who believe.

Peter learned that God does not show favoritism but calls His people to proclaim the message of Jesus's death and resurrection to all people, to celebrate His work in their lives, and to welcome believers into His family, regardless of their ethnicity.

Because we have been saved by your grace through faith in Jesus, we are not to show favoritism as we share the gospel, but are to extend the call of salvation to all people with equal concern, urgency and joy.
