Places of Honor - Multiply Series (10) - Acts 12:1-5

In Mark 10:35 James and John asked Jesus if they could be seated in places of honor when He got his glorious throne. Jesus reminded them his Kingdom would be different and that they didn't really know what they were really asking. In Acts 12:2 we find King Herod has James killed with the sword. We find in this passage people tend to look after their own self-interest, and how the hunger for power is always contrary to God's kingdom work.
