Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Spiritual RenewalSample
June 15
Introduction
King Herod (Herod Agrippa I, the grandson of Herod the Great) persecutes the followers of Jesus. Peter is arrested and imprisoned but is rescued by an angel. The chapter concludes with a description of Herod’s death.
Today’s Scripture: Acts 12:5 (GNT)
Peter was kept in jail, but the people of the church were praying earnestly to God for him.
Today’s Reading
Acts 12:1-25
Reflect
What action did the church take when Peter was arrested? How was Peter rescued? What did the angel say to him? What were Peter’s thoughts while he was leaving the prison? What does today’s reading teach you about belonging to a community of faith?
Pray
Lord Jesus, you are always with me, and you have rescued me from the power of sin and death. Strengthen my faith in my daily walk with you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who are being persecuted for spreading the gospel.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Acts 13:1-12: Barnabas and Saul are chosen and sent to spread the Good News.
