Kings Fear Him, Servants Joyfully Die for Him

Dec 14, 2025    Pastor Mike

King Herod heard of it! Heard of what?


Was this the same Herod who tried to kill Jesus at His birth?


Why did Herod think Jesus was actually John the Baptist?


Why did some think Jesus was actually Elijah?


Why did Herodias nurse such a grudge against John?


We like to think Kings/Rulers are in enviable positions of great power but forget they too live in fear?!!


What are the lessons for us here?


How does this story relate to Christmas?
