Struggling to Kneel
The godly man doesn't just live for himself. He doesn't just talk about himself and his family. He doesn't just spend money and time on himself and his needs. The godly man lives life on his knees, praying for his neighbors and washing their feet.
Chasing Sticks
What are your ambitions and dreams? What gets you out of bed in the morning? For the apostle Paul, it was seeing the glory of Christ manifested throughout the world. Stephen reminds us why everything else is just chasing sticks.
Question and Answer Program No. 69
Stephen and Scott discuss questions phoned in by listeners. Please note that there is NO transcript available for this program.
Peace!
Peace of mind, peaceful sleep, peace and quiet, peace in the Middle East; there are so many kinds of peace we are all longing for. But the only peace that really matters for eternity is peace with God. Do you have it?
Empowered by Grace
Salvation is only one half of the Gospel truth: the other half is what happens after salvation. So just as we needed God's grace to become a Christian, we need His grace to live as a Christian everyday. That's the Gospel truth!
Saints Alive
What does it mean to be a saint? Does it mean a person has reached perfection? Does it mean he or she is a head above the rest? Well in this message Stephen reveals to us that sainthood is not something to be earned . . . it is a gift that is given.
True Faith Works
The relationship between faith and works has proved a confusing issue for centuries. But it didn't just begin in the protestant reformation under Martin Luther. No. It began during the time of the Apostles. So let's listen in now as Stephen takes us back to Romans 1:5 to discover not only why True Faith Works . . . but how it works.
A Forest of Truth
In Romans 1:4, the Apostle Paul says that Jesus was declared to be the Son of God with power! But what was that declaration like? Was it given with words or actions? In this message, Stephen takes us back to that remarkable scene where Jesus proved his Deity once and for all.
Introducing the Gospel
If someone were to ask you to explain the Gospel, where would you begin? The cross? The Virgin birth? Creation? Well in this message Stephen re-introduces us to the whole Gospel story – from beginning to end – revealing just how much we often leave out.
Somebody's Servant
Freedom is a blessing that many of us enjoy--especially those of us living in America. It's something men prize; it's something men fight for; they even give their lives for it. But when taken to an unhealthy extreme, freedom can easily digress into its ugly little brother, individualism. When that happens, men begin to think that freedom is found only in self-rule and gained when all masters are done away with. Stephen shows us in this message that freedom isn't the absence of a master . . . it's having the right master.
