Sermon Text: Luke 4: 14-30
Preacher: Derek Baker

In this episode of the Ask Us Anything podcast, Pastor Derek responds to three listener questions. First, he explores whether Satan’s temptation of Jesus in the wilderness was a physical encounter or a more internal, spiritual assault, concluding that Scripture doesn’t specify—but emphasizing that the key truth is Christ’s victorious endurance of temptation on our behalf. Second, he addresses whether Christians can build physical “altars” or memorials (such as cairns or stones of remembrance) to mark God’s faithfulness, affirming their biblical roots while warning against allowing such symbols to become idols that replace true worship of Christ, the ultimate cornerstone. Finally, he tackles the culturally charged issue of childhood vaccines, arguing that Scripture places this question in the category of wisdom rather than morality, calling believers to make informed decisions shaped by common grace, humility, love, and charity toward one another rather than judgment or cynicism.
