Quick question: “If you lived in the Roman Empire who would you want to be?” Most of us answering this question would immediately think, “the emperor” or “a wealthy person of importance.” Herod Antipas was just such a person. A son of Herod the Great and ruler of Galilee and Perea, Antipas was an influential and powerful person in the time of Christ. He was part of the tiny percentage of people with wealth and access to the life of the Roman elite. He was a competent and clever person, but he was also the victim of circumstances. By contrast Simon Peter was a lowly fisherman from an unremarkable place, that is, until Jesus called him to be part of his inner circle. In this imaginative narrative double sermon you’ll see the contrast in perspectives between Herod Antipas (played by yours truly) and Simon Peter (played by Victor Gluckin). I hope you will enjoy our reconstruction and see the value of living for God’s glory instead of your own.

This dual sermon is from the Royal Family Reunion (now called Kingdom Fest), delivered on August 27, 2011 at Living Hope Community Church in Latham, NY.
