In this rich, eye-opening teaching, Rev. Dr. Stephen unveils what it means to be “Chosen for Grace.” He exposes the error of religious thinking that paints God as moody and controlled by our performance. Instead, he shows from Scripture that because we are in Christ, God’s posture toward us is fixed: joy, love, and delight. Our security is not in our works but in the finished work of Jesus.
Using the parable of the laborers and the cross, he explains that Jesus, in the 3rd, 6th, and 9th hours, took all our “negatives”—sin, shame, curses, and poverty—so that we, the “11th-hour generation,” might freely receive His righteousness, blessing, and abundance: “What was right, God gave; what is right, we now boldly receive.”
You are chosen to walk in power, wisdom, honor, glory, and the blessings of Abraham—purely by grace through Christ. May this message root you in joyful assurance and a deeper worship of Jesus and His cross.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
