Part 30 in the Acts sermon series.
After Peter was released from prison, the story turns to King Herod, whom the people are praising as a "god". What happens when Herod basks in this praise, rather than glorifying the one True God that he was supposed to serve and represent?

Persecution comes to the church in Jerusalem; the apostle James is put to death and the apostle Peter is arrested. Expecting the same fate as James, Peter waits in the prison cell, chained between two guards. Does he wait fearfully, remembering Jesus' words that he would die for Him? Does he ponder his defense before Herod at his trial the next morning? Here's a very real message for us today no matter what trial we may be facing.
