In this sermon from Acts 12 paster Josh Gatewood emphasizes that the Christian life is built on essentials we never outgrow: the wonder of God’s grace and the priority of prayer. Through the contrast between Herod’s pride and Peter’s miraculous rescue, we see that God is sovereign over all circumstances—opposition, suffering, and even persecution—and continues to advance His kingdom. The story reminds us that following Jesus is not about comfort but surrender, and that pride leads to downfall while humility creates space for God’s work to grow and multiply in our lives.  Website: redeemermidland.orgInstagram: instagram.com/redeemermidlandFacebook: facebook.com/RedeemerMidland At Redeemer, we seek to be a Gospel-Centered, Missional Family.
