What does it mean to be a fool? According to Scripture, to be a fool is not merely being ignorant of the truth, but it is opposing the wisdom of God. This is why all those that deny that God exists are called fools; they have rejected God's revelation of Himself in His Word and in His creation. In this sermon "The Fool Says in His Heart, "There is No God," from Psalm 14:1 Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches on the folly of rejecting God as Lord and Creator. Scripture tells that God has clearly revealed Himself, and it is only an act of foolish rebellion that leads men and women to deny that God exists and has created all things. God has given evidence that He exists in all of creation, from the stars above to human consciousness. The greatest tragedy of the fool is not only that they have rejected God as their creator, but that they have also rejected God as their savior. Jesus Christ is God's only appointed means of salvation; to reject Him is to reject God's love and grace. The ultimate answer to human rebellion is the sovereign electing grace of God for it is only God's grace that can overcome sin.

1 Timothy 1:15 "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."

Depression is often hidden, difficult to explain, and deeply heavy. Scripture does not ignore this kind of emotional suffering. It speaks honestly about sorrow, turmoil, weakness, and even despair while continually directing God's people toward hope in Him. In this episode, Dave Jenkins considers Psalm 42:5 and 2 Corinthians 1:8–9 to explain why depression does not mean that God is absent or that faith has disappeared. Christians can be honest about their suffering, resist isolation, receive support from the people of God, and continue turning to the Lord even when doing so feels difficult. Depression is real, but it is not beyond the reach of God's presence, faithfulness, and care.

The Bible tells that creation is evidence for the Creator. It shows His majesty and power. However, people have failed to see His majesty in His creation. People should be able to appreciate the beauty of creation, but instead miss seeing God's glory in it by only seeing facts. In this sermon "A Little Lower than the Angels," from Psalm 8:4, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones speaks on the failure to see God in His creation, specifically His creation of humanity. He begins with the question "What is man?" to show how humanity has learned to answer this question apart from the creation of God. Some overestimate humanity, putting people above God. Others underestimate humanity, thinking of the human race as nothing of importance at all. He then moves on the biblical and right view of humanity: that it has been created in God's image. People were made to glorify God and be in communion with Him. However, humanity turned its back on God by becoming slaves to sin, causing a distorted view of who they are. The good news is that Jesus came to save them from sin and help them become the people God created them to be in His image. He concludes by encouraging the Christian to see this truth and glorify God for it.
