Trade spiritual drifting for divine direction.

Why does God allow hardship even in the lives of the faithful? That question echoes through the opening chapter of Joseph’s story. At just seventeen, Joseph is thrust into betrayal, slavery, and heartbreak—but none of it is wasted. In this episode, Stephen Davey unpacks the incredible events of Genesis 37. You’ll meet a teenage boy with a deep moral compass and a set of dreams that spark intense jealousy in his brothers. Joseph’s father favors him. His brothers envy him. And their envy leads to a plot that changes Joseph’s life forever. You’ll also discover how Joseph’s story is more than history—it’s a roadmap for your own walk with God. Stephen draws out lessons from Joseph’s character, his father Jacob’s passivity, and the bitterness that grew in his brothers’ hearts. Most of all, you’ll see that even when God’s blessings seem far away, His purpose is right on time. Whether you’re in a season of waiting, struggling with family wounds, or wondering where God is in your pain, this episode will offer hope and insight. Joseph’s story is proof that purity is possible, bitterness can be resisted, and God’s plan always moves forward—even in the pit.

What are the devastating consequences of neglecting to keep God's Word at the center of your life?

What does your giving say about your heart? In this message titled What We Give Away, Stephen Davey explores the final promise believers make to their local church: the promise to financially support it through faithful, cheerful, and sacrificial stewardship. Drawing from passages like 2 Corinthians 8–9, Stephen shows that giving isn’t about obligation—it’s an act of worship and trust. From a child placing his necktie in the offering plate to the joyful generosity of churches in deep poverty, the examples he shares are both humorous and humbling. Faithfulness means you give consistently. Cheerfulness means you give joyfully. Sacrifice means you give even when it costs you. And it’s all rooted in one key truth: God owns everything—you’re just managing His resources. You’ll be challenged to evaluate your giving patterns, confront your assumptions, and rediscover the joy of supporting gospel work. This isn’t about guilt—it’s about growth. This message will inspire you to steward what you have for what truly lasts.

Imagine what our world would be like with no pain, no sorrow, no illness – only a joy so deep and pure, we can’t yet imagine it. Dr. David Jeremiah takes us on a tour of that world: our earth, as it will exist after Jesus establishes His kingdom during the Millennium.

Pastor Jonathan Laurie shares lessons from the story of Jonah, a reluctant evangelist who ran from God’s calling. Notes: Focus verse - Jonah 2 Matthew 23:25–27 (NKJV)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. “Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.” Jonah 4:3 (NLT)“Just kill me now, Lord! I’d rather be dead than alive if what I predicted will not happen.”  #1 God Appoints Circumstances to Bring Us Back Sometimes we think God is punishing us. God paid Jesus back for our sin. Jonah was a historical, biblical character.2 Kings 14:25 Matthew 12:40 (NKJV)“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” God appoints circumstances and storms.Not to pay us back, but to bring us back. #2 God Still Sees in the DarkJonah 2:1 (NLT) Read: Jonah 2:1–9 (NLT) While Jonah sat in darkness inside the great fish, he prayed.God heard and delivered Jonah out of his fishy prison. Psalm 139:11–12 (NLT)I could ask the darkness to hide meand the light around me to become night—but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.To you the night shines as bright as day.Darkness and light are the same to you. Israel worshipped one God — the true Creator. Romans 12:1 (NKJV)I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Read: Jonah 2:10 –3:5 (NKJV) #3 Saved From and Saved For God rescued Jonah from darkness so Jonah could reach others in darkness. 2 Corinthians 5:18–20 (NLT) Mark 16:15–16 (NLT)And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.   Romans 10:14 (NLT)But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
