What does it truly look like to follow Jesus into the most personal spaces of our lives—our living rooms, our marriages, and our everyday relationships?In Week 5 of our series Not Home Yet, Pastor Stephen walks us through 1 Peter 3:1–12, unpacking God's sacred blueprint for marriage and Christian community. In a world filled with brokenness, scorekeeping, and carrying "grudge bags" for years, Scripture calls us to a radical way of living: mutual submission, sacrificial honor, and dropping the rocks of bitterness.Marriage is not just about our temporary happiness—it is designed to be a living illustration of Christ and His Church. Through the lordship of Jesus Christ, two distinct individuals are molded together by grace into oneness. And beyond marriage, all believers are called to not repay evil for evil, but to be people who actively bless others.

Pastor Stephen shares a message on discipleship based on John 3:1-8.Support the show

Pastor Stephen brings the message, "Constantly Crying Out” from Psalm 28. As we return to the book of Psalms for the next few weeks, we'll be reminded that these passages are filled with emotion. Psalm 28 shows us what we can do with that emotion. Whether we're in a period of desperation, exasperation, celebration, or supplication, this psalm shows us the value of responding in all of those periods by crying out to God. We honestly run to the rock of our protection, trusting by faith (and sometimes sight) that He hears.

"Coming In & Going Out" Pastor Stephen McCoy 8.2.26

Reputation | Pastor Stephen Slevinski | 8/2/2026 by Redeeming Love Church

Text: Genesis 45 Providential Forgiveness (Gen. 45:1-15) As Joseph reveals himself to his brothers, he traces God's providence through the evil his brothers had done to him. We must choose to forgive one another and seek to overcome evil with good, not vengeance. (Romans 12:14-21) Providential Provision (Gen. 45:16-24) God sovereignly provides for His people through Pharaoh's decree and Joseph's generosity.  God's grace is put on display as He sovereignly and abundantly provides for all our needs. Providential Renewal (Gen. 45:25-28) Jacob not only discovers that Joseph is alive, but also that he is both ruler and provider. This news brings new life to Jacob as he journeys to see his son one last time. Christ is the ultimate Provider of salvation and reconciliation to all who believe in Him (Romans 5:8-11). Main Idea: God providentially accomplishes His saving purpose by extending forgiveness to those who deserve judgment.

The Power of Yieldedness: Living in Step with the Holy Spirit In this message, Pastor Stephen Wakefield challenges believers to look beyond Sunday morning services and live a life continuously responsive to the Holy Spirit. Emphasizing that everyday ministry isn't reserved solely for church leaders, he outlines how ordinary, daily obedience creates space for extraordinary divine encounters. True, fulfilling Christian living flows directly from a heart that is aligned with, sensitive to, and yielded to God's presence in every moment. Key Scripture Points & Takeaways The Foundation of Love and Obedience Scripture: John 14:15, Matthew 22:37–39 True obedience isn't about rigid legalism; it is a natural love response to God. Our primary purpose is to know Him, be loved by Him, and love Him in return—out of which all ministry flows. Jesus as the Ultimate Model of Yieldedness Scripture: Philippians 2:5–11, John 5:19 Even Jesus operated in complete submission to the Father, doing only what He saw the Father doing. His ultimate obedience—even unto death on a cross—led to His elevation, setting the standard for how believers should follow His lead. 4 Practical Ways to Yield to the Holy Spirit Be Filled with the Spirit Scripture: Acts 1:4–8 Beyond an initial baptism, staying continuously filled with the Holy Spirit is vital. We cannot guide others into the Kingdom without intimately knowing the King ourselves. Be Filled with the Word Scripture: Psalm 119:105 God's Word trains our spiritual senses. Grounding ourselves in Scripture provides the divine filter necessary to discern God's voice and test spontaneous impressions against His character. Stay Ready at All Times Scripture: 1 Peter 3:15 Real-life ministry and miracles rarely happen on a planned schedule. Believers must cultivate a posture of constant readiness—whether in a church setting, at work, or during late-night errands. Make Obedience in the Mundane a Habit Scripture: Luke 16:10, Matthew 25:21 Faithfulness in the small, everyday moments (serving family, showing patience, acting on quick godly thoughts) trains us for larger assignments. Yieldedness in spontaneous, miraculous moments is deeply rooted in our daily obedience in the quiet ones. "Thanks for listening! For more information, visit churchoftheharvest.com.

"Staying Free From Bondage" Pastor Stephen McCoy 7.26.26

What does it really mean to have a "seat at the table" with God? In this episode, Pastor Stephen Mizell concludes our series, The Invisible King and His Court, by exploring one of the most encouraging truths in Scripture: through Jesus, believers aren't just forgiven—they've been given access to the King. Drawing from Ephesians, Hebrews, Luke, Revelation, and other key passages, Pastor Stephen unpacks what it means to approach God's throne with confidence, live as Christ's ambassador, and represent His Kingdom in everyday life. You'll discover that Kingdom authority isn't about power for yourself—it's about faithfully announcing the victory Jesus has already won. Whether you're new to this series or have been following along from the beginning, this conversation will challenge you to stop living like an outsider and begin living from your identity as a son or daughter of God. In this episode, you'll learn: • What it means to be seated with Christ in the heavenly realms • Why your position in Christ changes your perspective • The difference between access and authority • How believers are called to represent the Kingdom of God • Why we announce Christ's victory instead of trying to earn it • How to live confidently as an ambassador for Jesus Scripture References • Job 1:6 • Psalm 82 • Zechariah 3:1-5 • Ephesians 2:4-6 • Hebrews 4:16 • Hebrews 10:19-22 • Luke 10:18-20 • Matthew 28:18-20 • 2 Corinthians 5 • Colossians 2:13-15 • 1 Corinthians 6:2-3 • Revelation 1:5-6 • Revelation 5:9-10 If this episode encouraged you: • Follow the podcast so you never miss an episode. • Leave a rating and review to help others discover these conversations. • Share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that they have a seat at the King's table.

Text:  Genesis 44 A Revealing Test of Character (Gen. 44:1-13) Joseph applies a final test to see if his brothers have truly changed. God tests our faith to reveal our character and produce steadfastness A Real Confession of Guilt (Gen. 44:14-17) Joseph's confrontational question leads to Judah's genuine confession. God was at work to expose the brothers' sin against Joseph (Gen. 37:18; 42:21-22). God graciously exposes our sin to lead us out of our sin. A Repentant Heart of Self-Sacrifice (Gen. 44:18-34) Judah proves his repentance in pleading for Benjamin and his father and offering up himself. Our repentance is proven in our submission to God and denial of self. Judah's substitution points forward to Christ's greater substitutionary atonement for our sins. Main Idea: True repentance is proven by a transformed heart that submits to God and sacrifices for others.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and everything God has for you... is your next step of obedience?In his message, "Buy the Field," our special guest speaker Stephen Posey unpacked Jeremiah 32 and challenged us not to let the distractions of this world keep us from saying "yes" to what God is asking of us. He reminded us that God is good, His Kingdom is at hand, and each of us has a part to play!

The sermon argues that church discipline is a necessary expression of love required to maintain the purity and health of the Christian community. Drawing primarily from Matthew 18:15-20, it outlines a four-stage process for addressing sin, beginning with private confrontation and escalating to public accountability and excommunication if repentance is refused. The preacher emphasizes that this difficult task is grounded in Jesus' example of humility and sacrificial love, aiming ultimately to win back the wandering believer rather than to condemn them. By following this biblical protocol, the church demonstrates its credibility and protects itself from the spread of unholiness. The message concludes with a call to obedience and an invitation for unbelievers to find hope in Christ's atoning work.

Pastor Stephen shares a message based on Jonah chapter 1.Support the show

The sermon exhorts believers to actively pursue and restore fellow Christians who are drifting from the faith, drawing on the parable of the lost sheep in Matthew 18. It emphasizes that every believer holds immense value to God, evidenced by Christ's sacrificial death and the presence of angels representing them before the Father. The preacher illustrates this duty through a personal account of protecting a vulnerable church member from spiritual manipulation, highlighting the community's responsibility to care for the weak. It argues that neglecting those who wander constitutes despising them, whereas their restoration brings profound joy to both God and the church. Ultimately, the message calls the congregation to reject self-centeredness and embrace the privilege of participating in God's work of saving and restoring His people.

In this concluding message in the ECHO series, Pastor Stephen explores what it means to live with an eternal perspective. Drawing from the Apostle Paul's writings in 1 Corinthians, he compares our spiritual lives to building a house. While many people build on foundations of wealth, career, or family, only a life established on Jesus Christ survives the ultimate test. The materials we choose to build with today determine the eternal value of our legacy.Are you building a life that will stand the test of time, or are you accidentally misliving?

Pastor Stephen taught through Genesis 32–33, where Jacob's life reminds us that Christians often move forward with a limp—marked by weakness, yet sustained by God's grace.

We're diving back into the book of Proverbs this summer with our series A Course for Life. In this conversation, Pastor Nick and Pastor Stephen share the heart behind the series and why Proverbs continues to be such a timely and needed guide for everyday living. They talk through why so many people today feel unsure about direction, how wisdom is formed over time, and why we often resist correction even when it's meant to help us. The conversation also touches on the impact of small decisions, the importance of integrity and honesty, and the kinds of topics we'll be exploring throughout the series. Whether you've followed Jesus for years or you're just beginning to explore faith, we believe that this study on Proverbs will give you wisdom, direction, and encouragement for whatever season of life you're in right now. Don't forget to grab your free notebook as an additional resource as you follow along with the series.
