from Wisdom for the Heart · host Stephen Davey

Share a commentWhat does it mean to be a slave of God? In today’s episode, Stephen Davey unpacks Paul’s introduction in his letter to Titus, where Paul identifies himself not with a lofty title, but as a “bond-servant of God”—a slave. This is no ordinary self-description; it reflects a radical truth about the identity of every believer in Jesus Christ. In a time when the term "Christian" has become broad and often diluted, Paul’s words bring us back to the core of what it means to belong to Christ: a total and joyful surrender to His will.Stephen explores the cultural implications of being a slave in Paul’s day and how that helps us understand our relationship with Christ today. In contrast to modern ideas of self-ownership and personal rights, Paul’s introduction calls us to a life defined by complete devotion and submission to Jesus, who bought us at a great price. We'll see how embracing our identity as slaves of God isn’t about losing freedom, but about gaining true purpose, peace, and a deep connection to our Savior. Join us for this powerful message, as we redefine what it means to follow Christ and to stand firm in our faith, even in the face of opposition.Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardbackLearn more about twenty-five years of global impact, and reserve tickets to our gala. https://www.wisdomonline.org/mp/25 Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show
