Ep. 196 February 23, 2025 | “Lifeline: People of Prayer” | Adam Woods
Prayer is not just something we do—it’s who we are as followers of Jesus. In this final message of our Lifeline: Connecting to God Through Prayer series, we explore Acts 12 and how the early church was marked by bold, persistent, and expectant prayer.
📖 Key Takeaways from This Sermon:
✔️ A Praying Church Prays. Prayer isn’t the last resort—it’s the first response. When the church in Acts faced a crisis, their immediate action was to pray earnestly to God. (Acts 12:5)
✔️ Prayer Produces Results. Even when we don’t see it, God is working. Peter was imprisoned, but through the prayers of the church, he was set free by an angel! (Acts 12:6-10)
✔️ Results Cause Reactions. Some rejoiced, others doubted, and some rejected the miracle. But the church kept praying and believing. (Acts 12:12-19)
✔️ Testimonies Need to Be Shared. Peter immediately told others what God had done. When God moves, we must share it! (Acts 12:17)
✔️ Prayer Changes Generations. The prayers of that early church still impact us today. Our prayers today will shape eternity.
🔥 Challenge:PRAY FOR ONE!
🙏 Who is one person in your life who needs Jesus?
🙏 Who is one person who needs freedom, hope, and salvation?
🙏 Will you commit to praying for one and inviting them to church—especially this Easter?
📖 Key Scripture:Acts 12:1-17
🙌 Application Challenge: Put the name of your ONE at the top of your prayer list. Pray daily for their heart to be open to Jesus.
💬 Who is your ONE? Drop their initials in the comments, and we’ll pray with you!
