    Who Lost His Head?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 18, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,054 views

    When we lose our ways emotionally or spiritually, we hurt ourselves and others. Herod, Herodias and Salome demonstrate the ways we can be seduced into losing our heads. John only lost his physical head but not his integrity.

    Do you know the poem, "If’, by Rudyard Kipling? I’m sure you’ve heard it a hundred times. But let me quote just a part of "If’. "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their ...read more

    Make up your mind to stand firm on what is right and resist the pressures to be popular or to conform. Pray and draw strength from God to resist pressure to compromise God’s truth.

    (Taken some pointers from David Hoke’s sermon “Herod’s Folly”) We face pressures in life – different pressures, different degrees, at different stages of life. • From school projects, workload, meeting datelines, and others. • You faith in God – no matter how strong it is – will not take away the ...read more

    Have you seen Jesus lately? Mark’s amazing witness reveals a complex Messiah. Jesus in our world is both comforting and disturbing.

    Read or quote Mark 6. It is tempting in this study to jump to Matthew and Luke for a broader perspective on these events recorded in Mark. I have purposely resisted doing that so far, so that Mark can tell the gospel to us himself and we can see Jesus with his witness. What happens when we ...read more

    Be Careful

    This sermon uses Herod as an example of how even in today’s world people give in to the pressure of the world instead of being careful to live as Christ commands.

    Mark 6: 14 – 29 – Be Careful Intro: My grandmother was fond of saying, “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.” --- I used to think she was quite a philosopher until in college I read William Shakespeare and discovered she wasn’t a philosopher.

    A sermon for the 6th Sunday after Pentecost Proper 10 The beheading of John the Baptist

    6th Sunday after Pentecost Proper 10 Mark 6:14-29 "Giving in to Pressure" 14* King Herod heard of it; for Jesus’ name had become known. Some said, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him.” 15* But others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, ...read more

    HERODIAS Mark 6:14-28 Her name is the feminine form of Herod, the title worn by the political rulers during the life and times of Jesus and the apostles. Herod means heroic…but they were far more hellish than heroic. She is the embodiment of the most despicable traits of this despotic ruling ...read more

    Don't Hang Around With A Truth-Teller!

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,798 views

    Those who bear the good news, who proclaim the glad tidings, need be aware that it will not be easy to be a truth-teller who is preaching the need for repentance and asking for God’s forgiveness.

    Little Emily, the minister’s daughter, ran into the house, crying as though her heart would break. "What’s wrong, dear?" asked the pastor. "My doll! Billy broke it!" she sobbed. "How did he break it, Emily?" "I hit him over the head with it."(1) I just returned from a week at Junior Camp at ...read more

    Faith gave John the Baptist both perseverance and effectiveness.

    Today Mark introduces us to one of the most corrupt men of his day, King Herod. This Herod, Herod Antipas, was one of the surviving sons of Herod the Great, the Idomenean who had tried to kill the infant Jesus three decades earlier. We could call him “Herod the Lesser,” because he was ...read more

     | 5,943 views

    The contrast of Herod killing John the Baptist to Jesus feeding 5000 in Mark 6 is very revealing of the life of sin vs. a life of service. We must be totally devoted to Christ to live for Him, and cannot live like He is a convenience.

    Who do you follow? Mark 6:14-44 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - For us to ...read more

    • Today's passage, though lengthy, reads like a script from a soap opera. • Though all the sorted details are not specifically mentioned in Luke, they are alluded to as part of the story. • The twisted nature of man without God can be seen clearly in the intoxication of power, the ...read more

    First in a series of sermons based on the personalities involved in the beheading of John the Baptist. This sermon focuses on the difficulty of living a holy life when surrounded by a lack of it.

    JOHN THE BAPTIST “Living Holy in a Not So Holy World” Mark 6:14-29 Who said the Bible is boring? Whoever it was hadn’t read this story. It has more plots and subplots than an episode of NCIS or a John Grisham legal thriller. This story has four main characters: John the Baptist, King Herod, ...read more
