What we know about Herod...

b)used violence to stay on the throne
c)would kill again to keep his throne
• Luke 19:11-27
• Revelation 19:15-16
3. Give to Him, v. 9-11
Two things we should see here...
1)God comes to us in a language we understand
2)God wants to be found
4. Obey Him, v. 12

Mental worship...
1. Are you ready for what Jesus will be like when he returns?
2. How often does your posture change in worship?
3. In what “language” do you need God to speak to you?
4. Has God ever warned you about something or somebody?
5. By how you live, who or what is the biggest authority in your life?
