Acts 12:20-25

Listen to Acts 12:20-25

20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they got together and asked for a meeting with him. This was because they depended on the king's country to supply them with food. They gained the support of Blastus and asked for peace. Blastus was a trusted personal servant of the king.

21 The appointed day came. Herod was seated on his throne. He was wearing his royal robes. He made a speech to the people.

22 Then they shouted, "This is the voice of a god. It's not the voice of a man."

23 Right away an angel of the Lord struck Herod down. Herod had not given praise to God. So he was eaten by worms and died.

24 But God's word continued to increase and spread.

25 Barnabas and Saul finished their task. Then they returned from Jerusalem. They took John Mark with them.

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.

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!

What Glorifies God - 3A

Jack Hibbs

Love and acceptance are done by accepting others in the faith. It doesn’t mean we have to agree in all things, because the opposite of love and acceptance is judgement. Romans 15:7 tells us to receive one another, just as Christ received us, to the glory of God.
