Nasal Flies and Sheep Dogs
Why is it that the things we run from -- pain, discomfort, friction, etc. -- are often the best things for us? In this deeply practical look at Psalm 23:5-6, Stephen show us again why we are just like sheep.
Ruts of Righteousness
When quoting the third and fourth verses of Psalm 23, we often miss the deeper meaning inherent in the text. What we usually translate as "the way of righteousness" is actually better translated, "the ruts of righteousness." Join Stephen now as he explains the many implications that truth has for us today.
Introducing the Creator-Shepherd
God gave us quite of a number of wonderful analogies in scripture to describe our relationship to Him, but none are as poignant as the relationship between a shepherd and a lamb. Join Stephen in this study of Psalm 23 to learn why.
The Final Promise
Grace: that's the word that best sums up of the whole message of Scripture, isn't it? And that's the word John uses to close his divinely inspired Revelation. After spending 22 chapters sharing with us his apocalyptic visions and indescribable prophecies of the future, he leaves us with a promise for the present: God’s grace is with us.
No Sequel in Sight
Thirty-nine books labeled "Old Testament" and twenty-seven books labeled "New Testament" are what make up that precious book we know as the Bible. But how do we know that these sixty-six books we hold in our hands are enough? Conversely, how do we know that these sixty-six books aren't too many? In his message Stephen shows us that while these questions proved to be divisive in the early Church, they no longer need be today.
God's Final Call
Ever since the great flood in Genesis 7, God has given mankind invitation after invitation to escape the final judgment. First it was through the Old Testament prophets--but the world didn't listen. Next it was through the words of Jesus Christ--but the world still didn't listen. Finally, it was through the Apostle John's vision in Revelation. The question is: Are we listening?
Question and Answer Program No. 55
Stephen and Scott discuss questions phoned in by listeners. Please note that there is NO transcript available for this program.
Duty, Honor, Country
“Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only", said James in his divinely inspired epistle. The Apostle John reiterates that command in Revelation 22:6-9 when he says,“Blessed is he who keeps the sayings and prophecy of this book"‚ It is not enough to simply believe that Jesus is coming again . . . we must live as though He's already on His way.
The Church of the Closed Door
So far in this series, Stephen has introduced us to diverse snares which can destroy churches. We've learned what happens when a church accommodates culture, embraces false teaching, and forgets how to love. But in this message Stephen warns us of a dangerous and far more subtle snare: the snare of growing comfortable.
When Little Means a Lot
What can one solitary Christian do for God? In this message Stephen reminds us that spiritual effectiveness is not measured by abilities or numbers, it is measured by commitment. A Christian who is wholly surrendered to God can do more than a hundred Christians who are partially surrendered to Him.
