Mark 6:16-18 But when Herod heard, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!” For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her. For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

Mark 6:17,18, 19 we could answer the question, Would God ever command that a marriage be broken up because two people weren’t eligible to be married to one another?
Well, the answer’s yes. Not only do we see it in the Old Testament, we see it in the new testament because John the Baptist comes to Herod and says, Herod, it is not lawful for you to have your brother, Phillip’s wife. And he commands Herod to correct the situation. The only way Herod could correct the situation was to put away Herodias and no longer be married to her because she still was the wife of Philip. You know… We ought to obey God rather than man, and we ought to obey God’s laws rather than man’s laws.

What is your spiritual foundation? Jesus is to be your firm foundation. He is to be the support for all your choices and service in this life. Have you made Jesus the foundation of your life, or is your life crumbling beneath you?
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 3:11 – For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Transcript:
Paul writes to the church at Corinth in first Corinthians chapter three verse 11, he says: For no other foundation can any one lay then that which is laid, which he is Christ Jesus. In your Christianity, if you are a Christian, is the foundation of your spiritual life, Jesus Christ? If you’re not a Christian, your foundation isn’t Jesus Christ. Your Foundation for your spiritual life is not the only one in whom there is hope in eternity.
May I plead with you, build a foundation, build a foundation that will actually last not a foundation of stone or rubble, not a foundation of straw that can burn. Not a foundation of wood that can be destroyed, but a foundation in Jesus Christ. How can you do that? You come to know Jesus Christ through his scripture. Start there.

Description:
You have to be careful how you speak to the babes in the Body of Christ. Be careful what you say to them and how you teach them. They are Christ’s children and they should be loved, encouraged, and protected.
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.
Transcript:
Paul writes to the church at Corinth, and he says this, in First Corinthians chapter three verse one:
And I, brethren could not speak to you as spiritual people, but as to carnal, as to Babes in Christ.
In your congregation where you worship. There are some people that you have to be careful how you speak to them. They’re just babies. They’re not babies physically, they’re babes spiritually. You need to be patient with them. You need to be long suffering with them.
May I encourage you, please be careful how you speak to a babe in Christ. Be careful what you tell them. Be careful how you tell them. Here’s just a thought. Speak to them as you would a child. Not demeaning them, but in love and protect them for their Babes in Christ.

Mark 6:19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
Mark 6:19 we find a law ignored and a law obeyed. Herodias held it against John the Baptist because he had come to Herod and said, it’s not lawful for you to have your brother Philip’s wife. So she held it against him. Verse 17 and wanting to kill him, but she could not. Why couldn’t she? Why couldn’t she kill… Or why couldn’t she kill John The baptist? Because Herod said no, she obeyed the law of the king. She obeyed the law of her husband, but she was more than willing to ignore the law of God. We need to understand that God’s laws ought to always take precedence in our lives, no matter who else’s laws we ever obey.

1 Corinthians 15:1-2 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you–unless you believed in vain.
Transcript:
Paul writes to the Corinthians in First Corinthians Chapter 15 verse one and he says this, Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the Gospel which I preached to you, which also you received. And here’s the key phrase in which you stand.
As we think about our lives, as we think about our religious lives, may I encourage you to always take this reality to heart. You have to stand for the Gospel. You have to stand with the Gospel. You have to stand behind the Gospel. If you are unwilling to stand in that which saved you, you will not stand up for the one who saved you.
Verse two says, By which also you are saved. May I ask you? Are you standing?
Summary:
Are you standing for the Gospel? Are you standing with the Gospel? Are you standing behind the Gospel? If so, are you really stand up for God?
1 Corinthians 15:1-2 – Standing in the Gospel is a part of the Christian life.
Consider this admonition today.

Mark 6:21-26 – Then an opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee. And when Herodias’ daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.” He also swore to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.” So she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist!” Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her.

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
Mark 6:21-26 we find Herodias and her daughter present for Herod’s birthday. And Herod will watch Herodias’ daughter dance and he will promise her up to half the kingdom and she goes out to ask her mother what she should ask for. And her mother says, ask for John the Baptist head. And she makes haste to go back and to tell Herod, I want the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
And we read in Verse 26 and the king was exceedingly sorry yet because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her. Be careful who you surround yourself with. Some people won’t want you to repent.

Mr 6:17-18 For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her. For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
We read in Mark 6:17-18, For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
John told Herod, this is against the law. This isn’t lawful. You can’t have Herodias. Now, how dare John say that? How dare John come and try to break up Herod’s happy home? There are people today who will claim that we should ignore God’s laws on marriage because of people’s happiness. John the Baptist wouldn’t have been one of them.

Mark 6:19-20 Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not; for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.
Mark 6:20 we read, For Herod feared John knowing that he was a just and holy man and he protected him — protected him from whom Herodias his wife who wanted to kill him — And when he heard him, he did many things and heard him gladly. Herod was one who listened to John preach, who heard him gladly was open to what John told him and did many things as a result of what John preached.
But there was one area of his life he wasn’t willing to listen to John, and it was about his marriage. He wasn’t willing to listen to John and obey John’s commands to put away his wife because he had no right to be married to her. We need to make sure that when we obey the word of God, we don’t pick and choose. We obey everything God has told us to do.
