Text: Proverbs 13:25; 16:26; 21:17; 23:1-5, 20-21, 29-35; 25:16; 28:7
Preacher: Derek Baker
After a brief discussion about the challenges of introversion, this episode examines Paul’s authority to judge unrepentant sin in 1 Corinthians 5, highlighting that biblical discipline is restorative, not punitive. It then explores the doctrine of hell as self-chosen separation from God, using both Jesus’s teaching on Gehenna and C.S. Lewis’s imagery. Pastor Derek next clarifies the meaning of baptism and the Lord’s Supper as tangible means of grace. A listener question about Neo-Calvinism prompts discussion of Kuyper’s “every square inch” theology and how it calls believers to integrate faith into all of life, while maintaining a gospel-centered humility. The episode concludes with reflections on prayer, noting that unanswered petitions often reveal God’s deeper work of shaping our trust and dependence on Him.
Text: Proverbs 14:17, 29-30; 15:1, 18; 16:32; 19:11, 19; 25:21-22, 28; 29:8, 11, 22
Preacher: Derek Baker
In this episode, Pastor Derek explores key theological questions about wisdom, morality, and the power of speech through the lens of Solomon’s life, Jesus’s teachings, and the Psalms. He explains that biblical wisdom is dynamic—not a permanent status—and that Solomon, though wise, lacked consistent moral integrity. Integrity, he notes, is about wholeness and honesty before God rather than sinlessness. The discussion then turns to the power of words: while words can be violent when used to harm, speaking truth in love is central to Christian character. Jesus modeled this balance perfectly, combining truth and grace even when confronting sin. The episode concludes with reflections on imprecatory psalms, emphasizing that believers must entrust judgment to God, praying either for their enemies’ repentance or for divine justice—always with love rather than vengeance.
