“If God Be For Us”
Sunday, November 23, 2025Key Verse
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
Text — Romans 8:31-39
Message
Think of the most powerful king who ever ruled, or the greatest president who ever lived. With a single word or signature, powerful leaders can start or end a war. Kings could decide who should live and who should die.
At the time of the early church, there was a powerful king named Herod. He was a very wicked king who persecuted the church during the time of the apostles. He sent soldiers to arrest and imprison some friends of Jesus. He killed John the Baptist, James the brother of John, a disciple of Christ. He then proceeded to arrest Peter and put him in prison ready for the slaughter. Then the church prayed and God proved that He was with His church. Peter was miraculously delivered.
But Herod forgot Who was in control of his life; Who controls the seasons, Who holds the whole universe in His hands. Foolishly he tried to challenge the One Who makes the sun rise and set. Herod equated himself with God and an angel struck him and he was eaten up by worms. God’s word then spread wide and the church grew. If God be for us, who can be against us. Nobody. Always remember this and you will be victorious
