Sunday Service June 28, 2026
Does it look like the enemy is winning? With all that is going on in the world, do you question whether Christianity will make it in the long run? In Acts we see an amazingly dramatic launching of the church on the day of Pentecost, followed by intense hostility, including the legal pronouncement that the Christians could no longer speak or teach in the name of Jesus. Bold and filled with the Holy Spirit the church continued on and prevailed against its greatest enemy, the execution of two of its most prominent leaders, and the scattering caused by constant persecution. Join us Sunday June 28 at 10 AM, as we reach a key transitional point in the book of Acts where one member of Jesus' inner circle is executed and another experiences divine deliverance, and a king is struck down by God. Worship Sundays at 10 AM at 701 Formosa Avenue in Winter Park, FL or on livestream at www.entertolive.org/gateway-live Life Groups follow the service.

The Gates of Hell Will not Prevail.
The forces of darkness are attacking the church of Jesus Christ. We are in this battle, and it may look like the enemy is winning, but in the end, the church will be victorious.
2. GATES OF HELL ON DEFENSE
The Gates of Hell will not stand against the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Jesus’ work of binding the strong man and setting the captives free cannot be stopped.
ACTS 11:19-12:24
The Angel of the Lord strikes down Herod.
A leading Jewish historian describes the scene:
On the second day of which shows he put on a garment made wholly of silver, and of a contexture truly wonderful, and came into the theatre early in the morning; at which time the silver of his garment being illuminated
by the fresh reflection of the sun’s rays upon it, shone out after a surprising manner, and was so resplendent as to spread a horror over those that
looked intently upon him; and presently his flatterers cried out, one from one place, and another from another (though not for his good), that he was a god; and they added, “Be thou merciful to us; for although we have hitherto reverenced thee only as a man, yet shall we henceforth own thee as superior to mortal nature.”
Flavius Josephus and William Whiston, The Works of Josephus: Complete and Unabridged (Peabody: Hendrickson, 1987), 523.
