Jesus Teaching in Genesareth & Banks of Jordan: Part 11: Jesus in the Harvest Field of Dothain and in Gennabris
King Herod (King of the Jewish people) persecuted Christians and ordered the arrest of the apostle Peter. The whole church was very afraid, so they gathered together in a house to pray. While they were praying, an angel visited Peter’s prison cell and miraculously released him. Peter found his way to the house where the church was praying. Peter then went into hiding. Herod continued to seek public approval desperately and even allowed people to praise him as if he were God. An angel struck Herod with an illness, and he died a terrible death.

Acts 12:20-24
The story of King Herod's obsession with fame that led to his gruesome death highlights the danger ambitious people face if they don't have wisdom or humility amid success.
Summary
The episode examines the tragic story of King Herod in Acts 12, who built incredible monuments to his own glory but refused to give praise to God. Though Herod achieved great power, wealth, and the worship of people, Scripture says he did not give glory to God. As a result, he was struck down and "eaten by worms" in a gruesome public death.
This story demonstrates why humans aren't built to receive worship or hold onto fame, but need wisdom and humility even amid success. So many celebrities or public figures have seen early fame or influence ultimately lead to the destruction of their lives. Fame is presented almost as a "curse" or siren song that can lure people in by catering to pride and ego.
For ambitious entrepreneurs and leaders pursuing big goals, you must examine your motivations. Are you seeking position or influence primarily for selfish recognition? Even if you achieve great things, that pride is dangerous without pointing back to God as the true source. As Jesus said, "What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?"
The episode gives practical tips for gaining wisdom and avoiding the pitfalls of fame:
True humility means embracing your abilities and being confident in your identity, while refusing worship of yourself and acknowledging God as greater. Handling fame wisely comes down to letting praise flow through you rather than getting stuck in pride. As Herod learned the hard way, humans simply aren't built for others' worship - pride goes before a fall.

He fortifies Judah, and protects them from harm. Then, his son Jotham follows by restoring Israel back to a loving relationship with God. This story is inspired by 2 Chronicles 26-27 & 2 Kings 15:1-7, 32-38. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.

Episode 146: Ahaz son of Jotham did not share his father’s will to follow God, instead, he followed evil. He followed the footsteps of the kings of Israel and the wickedness of their neighbors. He even killed his own children as a sacrifice to foreign gods. God would not tolerate this and so he sent the armies of Aram and Israel to raid them and take captive their men. But even in this punishment, God had a plan to protect those who were innocent and to remove those who led them astray.

Episode 211: The crowds drag Jesus to Pilate demanding his approval of the death sentence. Pilate, however, takes Jesus aside to learn more about who He is. After taking Him aside, Pilate brought Jesus back out to the crowd to dismiss Him since he had found no wrong in Him. But the crowd would not have it! So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, but neither did he find Jesus doing anything worthy of death. Finally, Pilate gave the crowd a choice, set Jesus free or set Barabbas - a murderer and insurrectionist - free. But the hate was too strong in the hearts of the crowd and they pushed for Jesus to be crucified.

Today's Bible verse is Mark 6:15 from the King James Version.
Episode 192: Out of anger, Herod imprisoned John the Baptist, and though he feared John, he would not kill him. His wife, however, manipulated Herod to make him promise to kill John.
