Herod's Folly- The Book of Acts Part 26

What happens when someone takes the glory that belongs to God?

In this message from Acts 12:18–25, we examine the life and downfall of Herod Agrippa—a ruler who accepted praise that belonged to God alone. Through Herod’s story, we discover a powerful truth: God is worthy of all honor, praise, and glory, and He will not share His glory with another.

We’ll explore:

-Who Herod was and why his character mattered

-Why God judged Herod so severely

-What it means that God is a “jealous God”

-How pride and flattery can subtly steal God’s glory today

-The contrast between human pride and God’s unstoppable purposes

Even after Herod’s death, Scripture tells us that “the word of God increased and multiplied” (Acts 12:24). Human kingdoms rise and fall, but God’s mission continues. The question for each of us is simple: When recognition, success, and praise come our way, will we keep the glory for ourselves, or will we give it back to God?
