Episode Notes: Follow your Father. (1 Kings 22; 41-53)

According to the bible, children are called to obey and honour their parents. This is a clear instruction that forms the foundation of the parent-child relationship in early life.

But the question remains: should you always follow your parents? Some may immediately agree, while others may hesitate or question this idea. The answer depends on who the parent is and in what area you are considering following them.

This distinction is important, and as we progress through the book of 1 Kings, we encounter the final paragraph of the last chapter of 1 Kings in which are two stories are presented—each about a different king.

What is most striking is that one king followed his father, and that proved to be beneficial, while another king followed his father and that had negative consequences.

Now the topic itself is complex. Some do not have fathers, and this presents its own questions and challenges. Ultimately, there are two primary answers to this question, with several nuances in between….

Episode Notes: Beware of False Preachers. (1 Kings 22: 1-40)

If you’re a believer in Jesus Christ and you’re serious about spiritual growth, then I assume you’re serious about Scripture. And if you’re serious about Scripture, you probably do more than listen to an occasional sermon on Sunday.

Maybe you read Christian books and listen to Christian podcasts. Maybe you watch Christian television, and maybe you scroll through Christian content online.

Now, there’s a place for all of that because there’s value in hearing different voices.

But be careful.

Listening to some Christian speakers and influencers these days can be risky to your spiritual health. I know—that sounds like a strange, but it’s a biblical warning because the bible repeatedly cautions God’s people about what they call false prophets, false teachers, with false messages.

So today, I want to take you to a passage in the Old Testament that illustrates this danger vividly. And after we walk through the story, I want to show you some New Testament passages also that warn us about the same thing.

Episode Notes: When Justice and Mercy Collide. (1 Kings 21: 1-29)

According to Scripture, two of the greatest virtues God calls us to practice are justice and mercy. Both are essential, and both reflect the character of God. However, sometimes life places us in situations where those two virtues seem to pull in opposite directions. Do I show justice here… Or do I show mercy? Which one is right in that moment? And that’s why we need a third virtue, and the bible calls that one, wisdom. Wisdom is what helps us discern when to apply justice, when to extend mercy, and how to hold both together in the same situation. Interestingly, 1 Kings 21 tells a story in which justice and mercy are both at play, and it is one of the most quoted episodes in the life of King Ahab.
