The Rest of Faith - June 20, 2023 DD

Welcome to Daily Devotions. Listen to Pastor David Sumrall teach one of his favorite stories about the Apostle Peter, found in Acts chapter 12. Imprisoned by Herod, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with chains. An angel appeared as sentries guarded the prison, awakening Peter and freeing him. This story teaches us that change and growth are possible for all. Peter, who once feared the storm, now stood firm in faith, even in the face of probable death. Like Peter, we can also find rest in our faith and grow in our walk with God.

Acts 12:6-9 "Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands. And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” And he went out and followed him."
