The Senseless Death of John the Baptizer

Today’s passage is part two of a flashback that Herod Antipas has about John The Baptizer's death. Last week, we learned about The Power of Fear. This week, we’ll see how Fear controls a weak leader. Fear impacts our thinking, our mood, and our future. Fear affects our bodies physiologically. Fear also influences those around us. And we’re going to see Fear overwhelm Herod Antipas today—to make one of the most tragic decisions not only in his lifetime—but in all of Christendom. We’ll also examine how our personal fears can either draw us closer to God or move us away from Him.
