Herod’s Unlawful Oath (Mark 6:19–29) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon explores God's faithfulness to His covenant, referencing Exodus and the story of Moses's struggles and God's promises to deliver His people. It contrasts this with the account from Mark's Gospel detailing the unjust execution of John the Baptist due to Herod's weak leadership and compromising oaths. The takeaway is that true power resides in God, who is incorruptible and always faithful, urging listeners to recognize His sovereignty and righteous judgment.
