A sermon on Acts 12:19b-25.  God killed Herod because he accepted worship as a god not because of the evil things he did to the early Church.  If God did not command the worship, adoration and praise of His name, it would suggest there were other things more beautiful, valuable, life-giving or soul-satisfying than Him.

Isaiah 42:5-12, John 18:33-37, Acts 14:1-15
