View show details

This talk was given by Andrew Walker at St Jude’s Church Southsea on 31 May 2026. The Bible readings were Acts 12:1–19 (primary), with references to Romans 8:26–27 and Ephesians 6:10–18. Warm and down-to-earth, the talk moves from the humour of Rhoda at the door to the hard edges of persecution, holding together realism and hope. Andrew encourages prayer that is honest, persistent, and expectant, without pretending outcomes are always the same. He offers practical help for different prayer temperaments, urging each of us to discover and use the way we best pray. The closing invitation is simple: become more wholehearted in prayer, look for God’s action, and ask the Holy Spirit to raise our expectancy, deepen our love for Jesus, and lead us into freedom.
