King Herod had the opportunity to repent when he heard God's Word. He chose to disregard the teaching he heard, though, and was trapped by his carelessness in distressing decisions. Are we falling into a similar trap today?
In Mark 6, the disciples begin to take a larger role in the story Mark is laying out for us.

In the last verse of the 15th chapter his final loving encouragement reminds them and us that with God, failure is never final.
