by Stephen Davey
Format: Audio CD Set

What do a hymn writer, a missionary martyr, a reformed slave trader, and a quadriplegic artist have in common?

They each lived a life that shined with gospel faithfulness.

In Legacies of Light, Stephen Davey shares the remarkable true stories of 27 believers from the 16th to the 21st centuries. Some were well-known in their day, others lived and died in quiet obscurity—but each of them demonstrated unwavering commitment to Christ and left behind a legacy worth imitating.

Through this biographical sermon series, you’ll gain more than history. Each message is rooted in Scripture and brings spiritual insight for your own walk with Christ. You’ll be encouraged to live with boldness, serve with humility, suffer with purpose, and finish your race with joy.
