Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, so they went in a group to see him. First they convinced Blastus, the man in charge of the palace, that he should help them. Then they went to Herod and asked him for peace, because their country got its food supplies from the king's country. 1

The Power of Prayer Part 6b
Jeff Johnson
If you need a good example of the foolishness of going against God, and seeking the glory that belongs only to Him, just look at the life of Herod. He had a tragic ending, as he was eaten by worms and died. Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson recalls this story from Acts twelve, and shows us three worms that can easily devour us today if we’re not careful.
The Power of Prayer Part 6a
Jeff Johnson
Today and tomorrow pastor Jeff Johnson will finish up Acts chapter twelve. You may recall that Herod not only killed James, arrested Peter, but also slaughtered his six guards. He was ruthless! But his fatal mistake, as we’ll see today, was when he failed to give glory to God!
