Sermon: Pastor E. V. Lightfoot
"Partnership in Prayer"
Sermon Text: Acts 12:12
Call to Worship: Psalm 86: 1-3
Responsive Reading: Acts 12: 1-12
Introduction: There is no more dramatic story in the New Testament concerning partnership and power in prayer than this record given us in Acts 12. In this story King Herod represents the subtle, fearful, and overwhelming power of the Devil against the work of God. Over against this opposition, however, God puts a church or a fellowship at prayer. In other words, whenever Satan comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord lifts up a standard against him (Isa. 59: 19). The Enemy’s single purpose in every age is to silence the voice of the gospel, but God’s answer is always the mighty power of prayer.
I. The People at prayer.
II. The Purpose in prayer.
III. The Power of prayer.
Conclusion: Are you involved in this partnership of prayer? God is looking for the Marys, the Rhodas, and the many who will learn the purpose of prayer and experience its unusual and undeniable power. Will you be such a person today? Do you not see the great need of the hour to unlock the iron gates that imprison those of our own generation? Will you not enlist in this great partnership of prayer today?
