    For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. Mark 6:20.

    THE MURDER OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. Matthew 14:1-12. This passage begins with Jesus, and ends with Jesus. It was inevitable that Herod Antipas should have “heard of the fame of Jesus” (Matthew 14:1). It was natural, too, that John’s disciples - like any true believer - should resort to Jesus in ...read more

    Herod Antipas provides proof that death is not always physical. Life ends in death twice without Christ.

    Mark 6:14-29 The Death of a Conscience And King Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, that John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

    Herod's bad decisions, compromise, and pride created a prime situation in which to be taken advantage of and tricked into executing John the Baptist. We can learn from Herod and learn not to be so gullible.

    THE EXECUTION OF JOHN THE BAPTIST HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING, TANTALIZING, AND SADISTIC PASSAGES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. ONE MIGHT EVEN QUESTION HOW THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE COULD EVEN QUALIFY FOR A SUNDAY SERMON! JUST THE MARRIAGE ALONE, JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS CORRECT IN REBUKING HEROD ...read more

    How does suffering affect our ability to minister? As Jesus is overcome with grief how is it that He ended up with compassion, not bitterness?

    Back in 2006 my wife and I were presented with an opportunity—go to Kenya and minister to folks who have been unreached by other organizations. On one hand it was an obvious opportunity and a way to serve God by spreading the gospel. On the other hand I was scared to death. We were going to a ...read more

    Why did Herod want to kill the Christ child? His motivation has much in common with those today who want to kill Christmas.

    OPEN: (I sat on a stool on stage, reading the following from “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” I taped my sermon into the pages of the book and used the book as both prop and way to hide my sermon notes).

    The saga involving Herod, Herodias and John the Baptist suggests that we as God's children must beware of the choices we make when we need to decide between popularity and godliness.

    Introduction: This text shows the actions of some people who were faced with the decisions of correcting what is wrong, repenting, and revenging in the situations they faced in life. Revealed in the saga is the competition between popularity and godliness, a dilemma that all humans beings have to ...read more
