Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/pap. While you probably know the Sunday school song about Zacchaeus the tax collector, chances are you may not understand the extent of his sin and the miraculous nature of his restoration. Only Jesus Christ can deliver the kind of life-transforming grace that would cause the richest cheat in Israel to become a compassionate, benevolent, above-and-beyond kind of follower of Christ.
Thu, 28 Mar 2024 - 28min - 1065 - The Cure for Spiritual Blindness
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/pap. Physical sight doesn't guarantee spiritual insight. Physical blindness doesn't limit spiritual vision. Jesus demonstrated perhaps the ultimate Messianic power when he restored sight to a believing blind man. But many people in the crowd had perfectly good vision, but couldn't see their Savior standing right in front of them. Stephen Davey teaches on Bartimaeus’ miraculous healing.
Wed, 27 Mar 2024 - 28min - 1064 - How a Camel Illustrates Conversion
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/pap. We know that there is no works-based test to become a Christian. You don't have to present your bank account to God and prove how poor you are for Him to allow you into heaven. So why does Jesus connect our entrance into God's kingdom with how much money we have? As Stephen Davey explains, it's not a matter of prosperity, it's a matter of priority. Money is not the same as love of money--particularly the love of money that supersedes all other loves. That's the lesson Jesus taught the rich young ruler, and it’s a lesson He's still teaching today.

Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/pap. If it's a dangerous time to be a child in the 21st century, it was exponentially more so during the days of Jesus. Many children never lived to adulthood, or even to their teenage years. Those who did survive infancy were marginalized in their culture. But Jesus changed all that. Through a simple act of showing interest and care in the lives of children, Jesus began a cause that, to this day, Christians all around the world continue to strive for: protecting and cherishing our children.

Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/pap. Things--and people--are rarely what they seem to be. Social media has trained us to be more "image conscious." People even arrive to church more concerned with displaying a righteous exterior than experiencing the convicting of the Holy Spirit. And this is nothing new. In Jesus' day, He often rebuked the Pharisees as self-righteous, image-conscious hypocrites. Let's learn to avoid their tragic example.
Fri, 22 Mar 2024 - 28min - 1061 - Surviving the Fainting Spells of Life
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/pap. What are your expectations when you pray? Do you expect God to answer in a certain way, or on a certain timeline? The truth is: our prayers are only effective when we conform to God's will, not when we insist upon our own. Jesus taught His disciples this truth using a parable of a poor widow and a corrupt judge.

What happens next when the world ends has been a fascination of all cultures in all times throughout human history.

Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/pap. Because we can't physically see God--although we do see His works--and although we can't physically hear God with our ears--although we do read His words in our Bibles--it can be hard to remember to thank God for the blessings He gives us. It's much easier to remember to be grateful when you can see and hear and touch the person you're thanking. When Jesus healed ten lepers, only one remembered to be grateful. Stephen Davey challenges us to be like him in this lesson.
Mon, 18 Mar 2024 - 28min - 1057 - Let's Get Real about Accountability
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/pap. Jesus called His disciples to follow Him, but He also called them to be in community with each other. Jesus wanted them, and us, to understand that the Christian life is not meant to be lived in solitude. Accountability is a vital element of our discipleship, our sanctification, and our service. Through three teachings, Jesus urges us to make accountability a vital part of our churches and our fellowship.
Fri, 15 Mar 2024 - 28min - 1056 - The Billionaire and the Beggar, Part 2
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/pap. Our world finds hell too disturbing, too painful, too seemingly cruel, too convicting to talk about. Some pastors and teachers have watered down the orthodox teaching of hell, saying instead that hell is not painful, or not permanent, or not real. But Jesus' teachings on hell are clear, and so are the lessons we need to learn from it. For the believer, if the reality of hell isn’t spurring on your evangelism, you don't understand it well enough. And for the unbeliever, if the reality of hell isn’t causing you to turn to God for mercy, you haven't yet realized the eternal judgment that right now awaits you--but can be avoided.

Jesus taught this truth to His disciples through a parable about an unfaithful manager and a shrewd investor. And it's through this story that Jesus gets to the heart of our relationship with money. If your value is in the kingdom, your investments will be put into kingdom priorities.

Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. As the Apostle John closes his brief letter in which he was just describing a godly man for us to emulate, his inspired words also reveal why he, John, is also worthy of imitation. Pastor Davey expounds upon these character traits of personal investment, personal influence, and personal interest in others, and why they matter. And he reminds us that when we treat our brothers and sisters in Christ like this, we become a beautiful reflection of our Lord's regard for us.
Thu, 07 Mar 2024 - 28min - 1050 - A Mile Wide and an Inch Deep
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. What kind of influence do we have as Christians today? Do we merely have a widespread presence but make no significant impact? The depth of our Christian impact depends on our action--and our actions are learned by imitation. Throughout the Bible, we are encouraged to emulate godly people and virtues, and we're warned against imitating evil. Here, the Apostle John introduces us to a specific role model who exemplifies qualities worth imitating, so we ourselves can be worthy of imitation, ultimately deepening the impact we have on the world.

Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. Before the creation of the earth, the sin of pride caused separation from God. And since he was cast out of heaven, the prince of this world--Satan--has been using this insidious offense to establish a wedge between us and the Lord. In these verses from his short letter to a friend, the Apostle John warns us of a prideful church leader, describing five symptoms of pride so we can recognize this soul disease in others ... and in ourselves.

Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. A group of people working together can accomplish significantly more than when each person works alone. This is synergy. From the Apostle John's third letter from Ephesus, Pastor Davey expounds upon the call for Christians to work together--in synergy--to support each other. Specifically, as John writes, we are obligated to financially provide for the Lord's workers. But more than obligation, giving is our opportunity to joyfully join in the labor to further the Gospel.
Mon, 04 Mar 2024 - 28min - 1047 - How to Properly Hold the Rope
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. No matter where we live or what stage of life we're in, as believers we are called be ambassadors for Christ right where we're planted. Some are called to go--often to the far reaches of the globe. But, as Pastor Davey explains here, even if we can't personally go out into the world to start an orphanage, preach to Muslims, or live in the jungles, we can become "rope-holders", supporting with prayers, finances, and encouragement those who do go.
Fri, 01 Mar 2024 - 28min - 1046 - Questions for the Heart
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. Third John is a personal letter between the great Apostle John and one of his closest friends, and it's astounding that the issues they faced haven't changed much over the past two millennia. As Pastor Davey unpacks the first four introductory verses, he raises five questions for which the answers are known only to each of us, respectively, and to God. So, let's use these promptings as a mirror for our souls and reflect upon how we are progressing in our own walk with the Lord.

Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. Although John was the last living Apostle, authored several books of the Bible, and was even given a tour of heaven, he used the simple tools of paper and pen--well, papyrus and reed--to provide warm encouragement and rich instruction to the unnamed faithful woman in 2 John. Here, Pastor Davey summarizes the truths of John's postcard into seven key principles for us to apply as we show Christ's love to others through whatever gifts God has given us.
Wed, 28 Feb 2024 - 28min - 1044 - How to Handle a Heretic
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. As Christians living in a world of heretical teaching, we don't need to know about every false religion or belief, we just have to know the Truth. We must keep our eyes open to recognize the shiny distractions of the enemy. Moreover, as the Apostle John writes in these verses, we must shut our doors to those trying to convince us of another gospel. And we must close our wallets to them--don't buy their books, watch their shows, etc.--or we'll be helping to spread the lies.
Tue, 27 Feb 2024 - 28min - 1043 - This is NO Picnic
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. New believers often think that, because they've been saved, life from now on will be a picnic. The truth is, however, that the Christian walk is a battlefield, with pummeling enemy fire and hard-fought victories. Throughout Scripture we are charged to put on our armor and use every weapon the Lord has given us for battle with the enemy. Here, the Apostle John warns us to stay alert, so we don't lose the ground we've gained or forfeit our full reward in heaven.
Mon, 26 Feb 2024 - 28min - 1042 - The Devil's Great Commission
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. When someone says they believe in Jesus, we can't presume it's the real Jesus. False teachers are proclaiming many different versions of Jesus to give people what they want to hear--and lead them away from the Truth. This is Satan's commission. In this lesson from 2 John, Pastor Davey unpacks John's warning about the deceptive messages being spread (as true now as it was then), equipping us to identify the false teachers so prevalent today.
Fri, 23 Feb 2024 - 28min - 1041 - How to Keep From Growing Old
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. Can love be commanded? Isn't it a "feeling" that's out of our control? According to Scripture, Christians are, in fact, commanded to love one another with a divine agape love--love that is choice, love that overcomes feelings. In these verses, the Apostle John defines agape love as obedience to God's will. Here, Pastor Davey expounds upon this truth, describing how walking in love keeps our hearts from growing cold toward others and toward God.
Thu, 22 Feb 2024 - 28min - 1040 - Wearing the Dust of the Savior
Listen to the full-length version or read the manuscript of this message here: https://wfth.me/postcards. Today, as it was in the Garden of Eden, the enemy chips away at God's truth through patient erosion--he tweaks and adapts it until what is believed is no truth at all. Therefore, it's not surprising that our current culture embraces so many lies. As parents, our goal is that our children choose to walk in truth, and this lesson from 2 John calls us to be encouraged when they are ... and to keep praying when they're not.
Wed, 21 Feb 2024 - 28min - 1039 - When Nothing Seems to Last
Listen to the full-length version of this message or the other messages in this series here: https://wfth.me/postcards. In our culture of moral relativism, "truth" is often defined as "yours" or "mine"--but it's never absolute. However, as Believers, we can rest in the knowledge that there is a Divinely determined truth. In this lesson, Pastor Davey looks to the words of the Apostle John to remind us that Christ-followers are bound together by our love for truth. And, despite the waxing and waning cultural norms, truth endures forever, transforming us through its mercy, grace and peace.

Even in the salutation of the Apostle John's Second Letter, he offers profound words of encouragement to the anonymous woman to whom he is writing. He calls her "chosen." His letter's opening reminds this woman that she and her children have not been forgotten, and they are loved--by John and the Lord. Whatever our circumstances or challenges, let us remember who we are in Christ and stand firm on the promises of God.

In typical fashion, Paul wraps up his letter to the Romans by greeting and thanking diverse individuals who are worthy of affirmation. But before they get too big-headed, Paul reminds them that God is the One who really deserves the credit. The gallery of our faith is just a hall in the greater gallery of God's grace.

Listen to the full-length version of this message or the other messages in this series here: https://www.wisdomonline.org/when-the-roll-is-called-up-yonder. At one point in John Bunyan's famous work, "A Pilgrim's Progress," Pilgrim and his friend travel through a town called "Vanity Fair." The town is a lot like yours and mine: materialistic, self-absorbed, pleasure-seeking, and God-rejecting. Temptation was lurking around every corner. In this message, Stephen asks us to consider how well we are surviving the onslaught of temptation that surrounds us every day in our own Vanity Fair. In Bunyan's allegory, Pilgrim's friend didn't make it out alive. Will you?

In Romans 16:17-18, the Apostle Paul interrupts his letter of commendation to warn the Church about false teachers. It's a warning as relevant to us today as it was to those Christians in Rome. So let's join Stephen in this message as he gives us the marks of a false teacher.

Listen to the full-length version of this message or the other messages in this series here: https://www.wisdomonline.org/when-the-roll-is-called-up-yonder. There's a hall of fame for just about everything nowadays. There's a basketball hall of fame, a bicycling hall of fame, a nurses hall of fame, an aviation hall of fame, a quilters hall of fame; and the list goes on and on! In Romans chapter 16, however, we discover that God has a hall of fame as well. But unlike our worldly displays, the heroes in God’s hall are not praised for great feats of strength, brilliance, or artistry. They are honored for their service and humility. So let's join Stephen now as he shows us a few of the people on display.

Have you ever heard the saying, "No man is an island?" Well the Apostle Paul, spiritual and energetic as he was, would have said the same thing. In Romans 16:3-5, he introduces us to a Godly couple who poured into him as much as he poured into others. Were it not for their persistent ministry, Paul would not have been the Apostle he was.

Listen to the full-length version of this message, or the other messages in this series here: /the-first-hymns-of-heaven. Why don't we as Christians think about heaven more often? It seems the only times we stop to consider heaven is when a friend or loved one dies or when we're singing hymns like "I'll Fly Away." Well, in this message Stephen gives us a vision of heaven that will dramatically increase our desire for it. Once we see what the Apostle John saw in Revelation 4:1-3, our thoughts of heaven will never be the same.

On the surface, a sleeping church looks just like a vibrant church. Services are held, songs are sung, and messages are given. But there isn't any spiritual vitality. So how do you wake up a sleeping congregation? Join Stephen now to find out. Access all of the lessons and resources in this series: https://www.wisdomonline.org/special-delivery
Thu, 11 Jan 2024 - 28min - 1010 - Judging Jezebel
Sin is no respecter of persons or places, which means the Church isn't immune to its deception. So how can we detect false theology and practice before it creeps in? That's the question Stephen answers in this portion of his series Special Delivery. Access all of the lessons and resources in this series: https://www.wisdomonline.org/special-delivery
Wed, 10 Jan 2024 - 28min - 1009 - Flexitarianism
A Christian who feels sorry on Sunday for what he did on Saturday but still plans to do it again on Monday is in grave danger!

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 - 28min - 1008 - The Crushed Fragrance of Christ Followers
Persecution is not relegated to the ancient past.

Access this series called Special Delivery here: https://wfth.me/special. The Church at Ephesus got so many things right. Their theology was sound, their discipline of sin was admirable, and their fervor was unquestionable. But in this message Stephen brings us the troubling truth that a Church who gets so much right can still get so much wrong.

Access this series called Special Delivery here: https://wfth.me/special. The Apostle John had every right to be prideful: he was the author of five books of the Bible, he was the beloved apostle of Jesus, and he was given personal custody of Mary, our Lord's mother. Yet he didn't let it get to his head. Why? Because, as Stephen shows us in this message, when you are captivated by Christ, who you are is not nearly as important as who He is.
Thu, 04 Jan 2024 - 28min - 1005 - Not Just a Hunch
Access this series called Special Delivery here: https://wfth.me/special. Revelation chapter 1 is one of the most amazing passages in all of Scripture. So much rich theology and prophecy is given in just a few short verses that it will take more than this lifetime to understand it all. All we need to know is this: Jesus is coming back . . . and when He does, people will finally see Him for who He is!
Wed, 03 Jan 2024 - 28min - 1004 - The Ol' Time Revelation
In this message Stephen reminds us that our hope and expectation far exceed any earthly pressure. We are awaiting the promised return of Christ who will one day receive us in the clouds and take us home to heaven with Him. This is an old-time revelation . . . but it is one that never gets old!

It begins getting a better picture of our great and holy God.
Thu, 28 Dec 2023 - 28min - 1000 - Gripped by Grace
What motivates you? Have you ever asked yourself that question? There is no doubt about what motivated the apostle Paul. Until his encounter with the risen Christ, Paul was not only a blasphemer, he was also the number one persecutor of the church. Yet the grace offered him by Jesus Christ changed him, empowered him for service, and ultimately motivated him to live a life of holiness. It can do the same for you too!

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 - 28min - 999 - Three Radical Refusals
The life of the apostle Paul was indeed an extraordinary one, but what was so extraordinary was not his natural gifts and abilities; it was his whole-hearted devotion to God. In Paul's letter to the Romans, we get a glimpse of his commitment to holy living and discover that holiness demands that we are willing to say "no" as often as we say "yes."

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 - 28min - 995 - The Return of the King
Peace is not only a desire during the Christmas season but is a longing of the world throughout the year. Global peace is possible, but it will only take place when the Prince of Peace returns to set up His kingdom on earth. Sadly, our world often attempts to solve global problems ignoring or rejecting the solutions given by the Creator of the world, the Prince of Peace. Fortunately, the God of the heavens and earth provides us with a future plan -- a Kingdom filled with peace, joy, and comfort for 1,000 years and beyond!

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 - 28min - 994 - The Names of the King
Christmas is the season to reflect on the birth of Jesus Christ. Though His birth occurred around 2,000 years ago, the church still worships and exalts Jesus as Lord of lords and King of kings, and the prophesied Messiah and Redeemer of the scriptures. The prophet Isaiah focused on His attributes when penning a hymn about His names, granting the church a worshipful picture of the Son of God.

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 - 28min - 993 - The Resume of the King
People are convinced of truth if what is predicted will happen in the future actually comes to pass. Prophets, soothsayers, psychics, and diviners have held court worldwide sharing their foresight, and if the predictions materialized as promised, there was no denying the veracity of the prophecy or the one revealing it. What if there were 456 separate clues regarding a single person that were all being fulfilled by one person . . . would that be convincing? Jesus Christ is that person! He has fulfilled the prophecies of His first coming to prove that He is the Messiah, the true King. Access the complete series here: https://www.wisdomonline.org/the-king-is-here

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 - 28min - 988 - Let There be Light
Scripture calls Jesus the "Light of the world," but Jesus didn't light up the sky with fireworks and make an unforgettable appearance at His incarnation. In fact, His arrival was so common that it was almost unnoticeable. Why is that? Join Stephen to see how Luke answers that question.

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 - 28min - 987 - Jumping for Joy
This Christmas, if you’re looking for proof of the deity of Christ, you'll find it in the very beginning of Luke's Gospel. Even before the Resurrection and the feeding of the 5,000 and the taming of the sea and the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus -- still a fetus in Mary's womb -- revealed His power in an incredible way. Listen to today's message to find out how He did this. Access all of the resources for this series at https://www.wisdomonline.org/christmas-cousins

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 - 28min - 984 - His Name Shall Be Called John
Whenever Christmas rolls around and we are reminded through songs and nativity scenes about the Christmas story, one significant part of it usually gets left out: the birth of John the Baptizer. John’s life and ministry was also a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and an important part of the Christmas story. Today, Stephen tells us more about this great prophet.

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 - 28min - 983 - Decorated with Stars
The Apostle Paul doesn't give us black and white answers when it comes to issues of Christian liberty. But how could he? There was no such thing as internet and movies and alternative music back in those days! Instead, he supplies us with Biblical principles that transcend every social context generation. He doesn't tell us how to act . . . he tells us how to think. Access all of the resources for his series at https://www.wisdomonline.org/grey-matters
