In today’s episode, Stephen Davey takes us back to Genesis and Romans to explore the human tendency to hide behind “fig leaves” of religious ceremony and good works. Adam and Eve’s attempt to cover their shame after the first sin reveals a powerful truth: human efforts are never enough to address our guilt before God. Stephen shows how rituals like circumcision or church attendance—valuable in their proper context—cannot replace a heart transformed by faith in Christ. He contrasts human-made religion with God’s redemptive solution: the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. This message challenges you to examine your trust. Are you relying on rituals to hide your shame, or have you embraced the righteousness that comes from God alone? Join us for a lesson that not only exposes the limits of religion but also offers the only true covering for sin: the grace of God through Jesus Christ.   Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback _____ Stephen's latest book, Legacies of Light, Volume 2, is our gift for your special donation to our ministry.
