Acts the Church on Fire Bible Study - Chapter 12

Herod begins perscecuting the Church's leaders.  He starts with executing James the Apostle and then moves on to arresting Peter.  Through this experience the church grows in faith and numbers when they see how God miraculously saves Peter and ends Herod's life.  We also learn the importance of believing that we will receive an answer to our prayers.  We end this chapter with Peter moving off the scene and Paul's missionary journey's beginning.
