Throughout the month of December we will be studying different aspects of the Christmas story at State Road Church, and in this message we will turn in our Bibles to Matthew 2 to do a character study on the life of Herod the Great. Sometimes we learn from witnessing the good example of others and other times we learn from people like Herod who demonstrate by their persistent wickedness the consequences of living one’s life in opposition to God. Most of the characters in the Christmas story such as Mary, Joseph, the wise men, and the shepherds are held up for us as good examples of faithfulness, humility and obedience, but Herod is, from beginning to end, a cautionary tale, and one worth studying. Come listen in as we do a deep dive into one of the most fascinating characters in the Christmas story!
