Pastor Jason Mayhall leads Redemption Bible Church to look at what the Book of Acts says about Rhoda, part of the "Out of the Spotlight" series examining some of the less well-known characters of the Bible. After killing James, the brother of John, Herod imprisons Peter. The church of Jerusalem prays intensely for Peter and he is miraculously freed by an angel of the Lord. Peter heads for the house where the prayer meeting supporting him is happening and the door is answered by a servant girl named Rhoda. Before she even opens the door, she recognizes Peter's voice and runs to tell the group that Peter is there. The prayer group calls her crazy for thinking Peter is free, but she insists on what she knows to be true! The prayer group then answers the door and are amazed as they did not believe their prayers had been answered. Have you ever been delighted in an answered prayer? Have you ever known something to be true and no one believed you? Rhoda was knowledgeable (she recognized Peter's voice), she was joyous at his return, and was persistently vocal about the truth to the rest of the group. We need to repent and ask God to make us grateful, joyful, spontaneous people who celebrate life, who forget what others might think, and tell them how God has answered our prayers. Enthusiasm and joy draw people to Jesus a lot more effectively that reticence, cynicism and defeatism.
