Being influenced by the world and being an influence in the world both come with great cost. But Daniel's unforgettable testimony reminds us that only one is worth the price.
What do you and I have in common with Saints like Paul, Zaccheus and Rahab? We’re all surprising saints! As Stephen reminds us in this message, God’s grace is not amazing merely because He saves undeserving people . . . it’s amazing because He saves the least deserving! So let’s join him now as he fleshes that truth out for us.

When James makes the bold statement that we are not only justified by faith but by works as well, how can we reconcile that with the Apostle Paul's message that salvation is through faith alone and not of works? In this message, Stephen clears up the confusion.Â

In today's portion of our study of James, James reminds us that demons have more faith in God than many religious people today! And that's why it's not enough to just believe in God . . . we must surrender our lives to Him.

In this message Stephen begins his study of one of the most convicting books in the whole Bible: the book of James. This book reminds us that faith without works . . . is a faith that doesn't work.

If you have kids, you know full well that there's no such thing as a perfect parent. But you also know that there's no such thing as a perfect child! Mistakes are made all along the way - on both sides - and that's just part of being human. But that wasn't true for Mary and Joseph. Their child never sinned, never disobeyed, and never stole from the cookie jar. Did that mean that Joseph and Mary had it easy? Did that mean that parenting for them was a walk in the park? Not quite. In this message, Stephen reminds us that as hard as it is for us to raise an imperfect child, it was even harder for them to raise a perfect one.
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, Stephen Davey recounts how God sustained William Cowper through lifelong battles with severe depression and despair while using him to leave a lasting legacy of gospel truth. Though Cowper repeatedly wrestled with feelings of abandonment and even attempted suicide, God anchored his soul in the doctrine of Christ’s propitiation, especially through Romans 3:24–25. Davey explains that Cowper’s suffering did not signal God’s rejection but became the soil from which some of the church’s richest hymns of grace were written. Through faithful friends, Scripture, service, and God’s providence, Cowper continued to testify of salvation by grace alone. Davey concludes that powerful faith does not eliminate suffering, but it carries believers safely through it, proving that God’s mercy shines brightest in the darkest valleys.
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.
