HERODIAS – THAT WAS NO LADY- THAT WAS YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW (“Ladies” of the Bible)

 

Mark 6:14-29

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

There are some wicked women in the Bible. Not really “ladies” mind you but definitely female. Tonight we look at one of those. This is the kind of woman that ought scare you good. She’s evil and she’ll drag you down. Many proverbs have been written about this kind of woman but this one is in the New Testament.
