Sermon Notes

    UNSTOPPABLE: Prayer and Miracles (Acts 12)

    Sunday May 10th, 2026 HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
    SCRIPTURES Acts 12:1-25

    About that time… (12:1)

    …Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church (12:1)

    …the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” (Ps 2:1-3)

    He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. (Ps 2:4)

    Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Rom 8:26-28)

    “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” (Ps 121:1-2)

    PERSONAL NOTES PERSONAL / GROUP REFLECTION
    • Where does the “giant” look immovable right now? Identify one area where your heart feels heavy, and the outcome seems fixed: finances, marriage, parenting, health, work, our country, or a spiritual burden. Write it down, then pray through Psalm 121:1–2: “My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”
    • What assumption about strength or power might be blinding you? Like Saul’s armor or the fear surrounding Goliath, ask: Am I engaging this struggle in the wrong way because I have misunderstood where true power comes from? Name one worldly definition of strength you need to surrender to God.
    • How are you praying honestly, even when your expectations feel weak? The church prayed earnestly for Peter, but they were surprised when God answered. Where are you praying sincerely but struggling to believe God can move? Take time to pray Romans 8:26–28 over that weakness.
    • What would it look like to give God glory before the outcome changes? Herod accepted glory that belonged to God, but Acts 12 ends with the Word of God increasing and multiplying. What is one practical way you can honor God this week while you are still waiting for deliverance, clarity, or resolution?
