In this powerful episode of Knowing God in the Word on AM980 The Mission, we journey into Acts 12 to witness a dramatic and sobering display of God’s sovereignty.

While the early church faced intense persecution, King Herod Agrippa I sought glory for himself—accepting praise that belonged to God alone. But as Acts 12 reveals, pride before a holy God carries devastating consequences. In a shocking and horrific turn of events, Herod’s sudden death reminds us that no ruler stands above the authority of the Lord.

This episode unpacks:

The persecution of the early church

The miraculous deliverance of Peter

The dangers of pride and self-glorification

God’s ultimate power over earthly authorities

Even as evil seemed to prevail, Acts 12 closes with a triumphant truth: “But the word of God grew and multiplied.”

Tune in as we discover what Herod’s tragic end teaches us about humility, reverence, and trusting God’s unstoppable purposes.
