What really sets Christians apart from the rest of the world? In this compelling episode, Stephen Davey launches into the first three “holy promises” that define the conduct of those who belong to the local church.

As part of a biblical covenant, these promises remind believers that church membership is more than attendance—it’s a declaration of allegiance to God’s Word and a commitment to live in community with His people. Stephen unpacks what it means to submit to Scripture as the final authority, to pursue holiness in every area of life, and to avoid sinful entanglements that entrap and destroy.

Far from legalistic rules, these promises reflect joyful obedience and a desire to walk in the light of God’s truth. With powerful illustrations and Scripture-based teaching, this episode calls you to examine your own direction in life.

If you’ve ever wondered how a church can be both respected and countercultural, or why holiness still matters today, this message offers clarity and conviction. Learn why these biblical promises are not just old-fashioned ideals, but a radical and needed return to what the church was always meant to be.
