We tend to view events and circumstances in life as either “fair” or “unfair”. Sometimes it’s hard to reconcile situations that don’t make sense to us. What do you do when God doesn’t do what you want Him to do? In Acts 12, two of Jesus’ original Twelve Disciples, James and Peter, are arrested by King Herod because of the on-going persecution against Christians. Peter gets miraculously delivered from prison by an angel sent by God, but James gets martyred. Why did God rescue one but allow the other to be executed? Pastor Gary tackles this theological dilemma in today’s study entitled, “That’s Not Fair!”
00:00 - Introduction
18:12 - What do you do when God doesn’t do what you want Him to do?
18:30 - 1) God’s ways are HIGHER; some things will simply be a mystery to us and difficult to understand until we are with Jesus
22:12 - 2) God’s nature is GOOD; He always has our best interest at heart (Psalm 100:5)
27:03 - 3) God’s grace is SUFFICIENT; He will strengthen us in our weaknesses (2 Cor. 12:8-10)
28:56 - 4) God’s justice is PERFECT; He is going to sort it all out in the end (Luke 3:5-6)

May the Lord replenish Pastor Gary and all those labouring with him in the Lord's vineyard. The book of acts is my best version of a TV series, enriching my soul and transforming my life, line upon line, precept upon precept. Glory to name our Lord Jesus Christ.

Glad to see another Aussi watching Pastor Gary. I discovered his channel by accident (Holy Spirit 😀) in March 2020 at the beginning of Covid lockdown in Melbourne. I thank God for 12 month lockdown because I got to read and study the entire Bible.
I also enjoy David Wilkerson. Enjoying Gary's sermons now. Have been blessed by them

Stem saam.
Cornerstone Church, Johannesburg, South Africa is also studying the book of Acts.
Thanks for the reminder that God will deal with kings, presidents and evil rulers that we are enduring right now in this country….the USA.
The bottom line here is our faith. No matter what, TRUST that God's got this. Whatever it is. Trust Him.

GOD IS GOOD
Greatly enjoy the way you explain the word of God
This is SO good !
One of the best sermons I’ve heard in a long time. Helped me understand, wondering why some things turned out like they did when it doesn’t makes sense…
Thank you .I will fight the good fight of faith. Lord strengthen me amen. You are a Good God. Help us. Thank you for your Grace. Amen
Thank you Pastor Gary.
Wonderful sermon!!
Put your faith in the Father
This reminds me of when an angel rescued me in human form from the grips of a serial killer in Atlanta and 3 years later the same scenario but in Columbus, Ohio. Sharing this testimony finally along with other supernatural experiences. Pray for me, please It has been a difficult task but I'm determined I'm not giving up not this time in the name of Jesus amen
May the Lord keep watch over you, The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and His ears unto their prayers Psalms 35:15
Never go against our Lord the Only Saviour
❤

All things happen for the good to those who trust I. The Lord
I appreciate Pastor Rick because he preaches the true gospel: Salvation is for everyone who confesses that Jesus is their Savior. John 3.16.
Thank you!
Reminds me of Don Francisco. Absolutely brilliant.

Hallelujah
GOD is always very fair. ❤❤❤ I never ??? GOD 🕊✝️🥰😍all I need is Hasheem 😘
From Philippines
Amen🙏
God I know and believe that you are good always❤❤❤ I thank you FATHER❤ forgive me when I get mad and think you don’t care what my family and I go thru. I just lost my older brother 10 months ago and I just don’t understand why you didn’t save him or protect him from satan 😢I don’t know your ways but I’m trusting you GOD FOR EVERYTHING, because you are all good❤I ask you to help me and my family, especially my parents in the mourning, pain, loss and suffering… IN JESUS MIGHTY AND HOLY NAME AMEN 🙏 ❤
Yes, Amen & Amen! This is a word in season for my family too, as we lost my beloved nephew a year ago to a stroke. He was only 40 with a wife and two teenage daughters. We love him & miss him terribly, but come under God's authority and knowledge and agree that He is always a Good Father and our ways are not His ways. All Glory to Jesus🙌🙌🙌
Where is Chapter 11?
Thank you Pastor Gary for again reminding us that we need to remind ourselves God is forever a good God especially when going through this life in a sin-broken world.
I have one question that is not related to the sermon today. It is about a speaker you are bringing in and endorsing who has stated years ago while listening to him, that all Jews will be saved and do not need salvation. It was very disturbing to me that if this is still his mindset, then why are you having him speak. 1/3 of the Jews in the tribulation will be saved is my understanding as they finally accept Jesus. Please enquire what stand John Hagee has on the Jews need to hear and receive the gospel as much as the rest of us, would you please? I hope I heard wrong about him❤ from Canada
Where is Acts 11.
When James and John asked that question, Christ explained that they don't know what they're asking, and asked them Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with? They said we can, and He said "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared". That cup is suffering, that baptism is death to life. Coming back to expand for people who might not get that, physical death. That gives life to the spiritual Glory. Just as you died as a sperm to become a baby, you die here to be born there. Just keep swimming, endure to the end.
Wasn’t there two trees that God said Do not eat of?
I cannot find Acts # 11
Praise the Lord Pastor i have a question,how and what should I talk to a Roman Catholic to share that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour, please guide me from Malaysia Pastor,tq and God bless you and your ministry
Very nice massage
I have watched Acts 10 but I don't see Acts 11. Was Acts 11 skipped and Acts 12 is next in the serries?
True
There’s chapter 11 and 12 covered by Austin Hamrick…
True. Me missing it too.
Compare the personality of Peter to that of Trump: both are brash, sometimes insulting, courageous leader types that get things done. Peter was the man needed for the early Church; Trump seems to be the man needed for America.
