E48 Gospel of Mark: Mark 6.14-29

In today's Chapel message Dr John Frederick unpacks Mark 6:14-29 which details the execution of John the Baptist by King Herod. The text invites us to consider how Herod through his cowardice, faithlessness and political posturing shows that, paradoxically, the "powerful" political leader has less staying power than the beheaded prophet. Join us in considering how the Gospel invites us to be faithful fools who follow the crucified King Jesus rather than faithless cultural-chameleons who follow the coward King Herod.
