Lessons Learned
Fear alone or the desire to hear more preaching is not enough (Mk. 6:19-20)
Herod feared John (and the multitude, Mt. 14:5) and he wanted to hear more preaching, but he did not forsake his wicked way
Fear is a good start, but one must stop his sin and then be a doer of what he hears (Isa. 55:7; Lk. 6:46; Acts 2:41)

Lessons Learned
Laxity in one area of your life can lead to laxity in other areas (Mk. 6:21-23)
Herod, being lax in his marriage, was then lax in his self-control regarding the dancing: sin first interests, then excites, and then captivates
A lack of control in one area of my life will lead to more problems elsewhere (Prov. 25:28; Thess. 2:10-11; 2 Tim. 2:13)

Some people allow themselves to be used and abused as a pawn in the wicked schemes of others (Mk. 6:24-25; see Mt. 14:8)
The daughter of Herodias was “put forward” by her mother; she was “put up to this”
Don’t be a pawn; don’t go along with sin (Prov. 1:10; Acts 5:2,9; 1 Cor. 15:33)

The barbs of sin will prick your conscience for awhile (Mk. 6:26-29)
Herod was “exceeding sorry”, but he did not stop the beheading of John
Our conscience pricks us to make a change (Psa. 38:18; Mt. 26:75; 27:5; Acts 2:37; 2 Cor. 7:9- 11), but the conscience can also become hardened to the point of no return (Acts 24:26; 1 Tim. 4:2; Heb. 3:13)
