In this sermon, Dr. Derek Grier reminds us that God often shows up when we least expect it, but we still have to open the door. Drawing from Acts 12, he unpacks the miraculous rescue of Peter from prison and how God’s deliverance often comes in response to persistent prayer and bold obedience. This message challenges us to trust God’s timing, remain spiritually alert, and believe that the breakthrough we’ve been praying for might already be knocking. Calm your fears, strengthen your faith, and open the door to what God has already prepared.
