What must have been flooding through Jacob's mind as he rode to meet his son for the first time in years? Joy? Excitement? Gratitude?! In this message Stephen lets us witness that incredible reunion.
Thousands of years before the Apostle Paul exhorted believers in Philippi to have the same attitude as Christ Jesus, Joseph was displaying through his life what that attitude looked like. Turn in your Bible to Genesis 44 and get ready for an attitude adjustment!
It is interesting how much we are like Jacob when the Spirit of God does not control us. We so often jump to wrong conclusions based on circumstances. Do we really believe God is in control? More importantly, are we willing to give Him control? Find out now.
To what extent do unbelievers have conscience? Do people without Christ feel badly when they break the law? In this message Stephen reveals to us why our "prosecutor within" is one of the greatest apologetics for Christianity. You can deny a book . . . you can't deny your conscience.
What was Joseph's greatest test? Was it when his brothers sold him into slavery? Was it when he was tempted by Potiphar's wife? Stephen suggests it was neither of these. Instead, Joseph's greatest test was being surrounded by opulence, ease and luxury for the latter portion of his life. The Test of Prosperity is a difficult one for believers to pass.
Who do you put your trust in? If it's someone other than God, you're setting yourself up for a fall. Everything and everyone will let us down at some point. Only God can bear the weight of our sin . . . and only He can bear the weight of our worship.
Joseph refused to violate his character. He refused to call sin a "romantic affair" or an "alternate lifestyle." And he wasn't awarded with a medal of honor for it . . . he was thrown in prison for it. How much are you willing to sacrifice in order to do the right thing?
What the world deems news-worthy might not even make the back page of Heaven's news release. Joseph earned worldly plaudit's later in life when he strategically rescued Egypt from starvation during a 7-year famine, but it was his year's of slavery and imprisonment that earned him plaudits in Heaven.
What epitaph would you have inscribed on the Apostle Paul's tombstone? What words can suffice to sum up a life so wholly spent on bringing glory to Jesus Christ?
Paul's main desire in life was to reach Gentiles for Christ. He endured hardships, stonings, shipwrecks, and other setbacks just to preach the gospel on Rome. What's holding you back from reaching your neighbors and friends?
In this sermon on Titus 2:11–14, Stephen Davey explains that the grace of God not only brings salvation but also trains believers to live transformed lives. God’s grace teaches Christians to reject ungodliness and worldly passions while pursuing self-controlled, upright, and godly living as they wait for the return of Jesus Christ. Christ gave Himself to redeem believers from sin and to create a people devoted to good works that reflect His character. Davey emphasizes that true grace does not excuse sin but actively shapes a believer’s conduct, producing a life that reflects gratitude for Christ’s sacrifice and anticipation of His coming kingdom.
In this sermon on Romans 8:28, Stephen Davey explains that this verse does not promise a trouble-free life but offers four guarantees for believers: the certainty of God’s Word, His active involvement, His sovereign control, and His purposeful design. Using illustrations such as George Whitefield’s providential experience, the faith of Betsie and Corrie ten Boom in a concentration camp, and a grieving pastor’s testimony, Davey shows that God weaves every joy and sorrow into His larger masterpiece. Though life’s hills and valleys rarely make sense from our vantage point, believers can trust that God is orchestrating all things for their ultimate good and His glory.
In this sermon on Titus 2:9–10, Stephen Davey explains how the gospel transforms even the most ordinary responsibilities of life. Paul instructs servants to demonstrate submission, integrity, and trustworthiness in their work so that their conduct reflects the beauty of the gospel. Rather than serving merely to please people, believers are called to work with a heart that honors Christ. Faithfulness in everyday tasks becomes a powerful testimony that adorns the teaching of God our Savior. Stephen Davey emphasizes that when believers live with integrity and diligence, they display the transforming power of the gospel in the workplace.
In this sermon on Romans 16:21–23, Stephen Davey teaches that every career is a sacred calling from God, not just formal ministry roles . Drawing from Paul’s greetings to ordinary believers like Tertius, Quartus, and Erastus, he shows that servants, city officials, mothers, and tradesmen all serve Christ through their daily work. Davey highlights Robert Laidlaw as a modern example of someone who used business success and creativity to spread the gospel, reminding believers that their workplaces are embassies for Christ and that faithfulness in ordinary vocations leaves a lasting legacy of light.
In this sermon on Titus 2:11–12, Stephen Davey explains that God’s grace not only saves believers but also trains them to live transformed lives. The grace that brings salvation also teaches believers to reject ungodliness and worldly desires while pursuing self-controlled, upright, and godly living. Salvation is not merely a past event but the beginning of a lifelong process of spiritual growth and discipline. As believers respond to grace, their lives increasingly reflect Christ’s character in a dark world. Stephen Davey emphasizes that true grace does not excuse sin but empowers believers to live differently.
