What the Church needs today are ordinary people who are highly motivated to advance Christ's gospel in a world that desperately needs to hear it. In other words . . . we need more Nehemiahs.
Stephen and Scott discuss questions phoned in by listeners. Please note that there is NO transcript available for this program. Due to production issues, this program is a repeat of QA19 which aired in May of 2016.
The Tribulation is known for being a time of great fear and destruction. Men and women will be forced to receive the mark of the beast and anyone who refuses will be killed. But out of that tribulation the Gospel will spread and people will accept the mark of the cross instead. The blood of the martrys has always been and always will be the seed of the Church.
Who are the 144,000 men and women we find in Revelation 7:1-8? Is the number significant? Stephen give us insight into this mystery as he continues his study of John's Revelation.
There are two instances in Scripture where mankind attempts to hide from God. The first is at the beginning of time when Adam and Eve sinned against the Lord, and the second is at the end of time when God comes back to judge the world. The thunder of God's footsteps echo upon the earth, and those who remain are faced with a terrible realization: you can't hide from Omniscience.
The pages of history are stained with the blood of Christian martyrs. Even today, all across the world, people are dying for their faith in Christ. Why isn't God stopping it? Does He not care that His children are suffering? Revelation 6:9 gives us a powerful reminder that not only does God hear the prayers of the martyrs, but He has something special in store for each of them.
Revelation 6:5-8 is a haunting scene, and John must have thought he was watching a horror movie when God brought him to this point in the vision. Death is emerging from the water on a grotesque horse and galloping toward the earth with demonic speed. What will be the outcome?
A red horse is riding out of the second seal. What does he symbolize? What will he bring to the world? Find out now as Stephen takes back into his study of Revelation 6.
What if you could read tomorrow's headlines today? Would it change the way you lived? Of course it would. In this message, Stephen reminds us that God has told us how the story ends. We have tomorrow's news in our hands. Are we living in light of it?
Questions abound regarding the future event theologians have called, "The Tribulation." Questions such as, "Will it last for 3 and 1/2 years or 7 years? Is it figurative or literal? Will Christians suffer through it?" In this message Stephen surveys the diverse responses to these questions and brings us what he believes is the most Biblically consistent and logical answer.
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.
