As the early church grew it also faced lots of difficulties. This week Sally, one of our Church Wardens, takes us through the story of Peter’s miraculous escape in Acts 12. It’s a story that starts with the church in crisis - James has been put to death, Peter has been put in prison and the church is being persecuted. In the face of all this the church pray - both earnestly and honestly, and Peter joins in with Gods amazing rescue plan. Many Christians around the world face persecution for their faith - we get to join in praying earnestly and honestly for christians around the world, as well as asking God to help us to find freedom from the things which hold us back in our own lives.
