Our culture today has no reverence for God; that much is obvious. But American churches, like ancient Israel, are losing a healthy sense of holy fear as well. Truly, if ever there was a time in our nation when we needed a Sinai summit, it is now.
Meekness is not weakness -- it is strength under control. It is also an attribute that God regards very highly. In this message, Stephen shows us how to be more like Moses and, ultimately, more like Christ.
If one of the greatest leaders of all time could burn out physically, emotionally, and spiritually, you and I can as well. Stephen helps us prevent that in this practical and insightful message.
Moses is stuck in the wilderness with a horde of griping, grumbling people. Every time something goes wrong, all he hears is "Moses, you should have left us in Egypt! Thanks for nothing!" The Israelites failed to trust God in the midst of their uncertainty. Are you trusting Him in yours?
Put yourself in Jewish sandals here. You're trapped between the Red Sea and the most powerful army in the world. What doubts are running through your mind? What prayers are you throwing up to heaven? In this message, Stephen reminds us that God not only works in mysterious ways, He works in unexpected ways.
"Foreshadowing" is the literary term for something that happens in a story which points to something greater and forthcoming. Exodus 11-12 is one of the Old Testament's most explicit examples of this. Stephen uncovers why in this message.
If life were always a walk in the part, it wouldn't be a walk of faith. In this message, Stephen reminds us why trials are so essential to spiritual growth.
How did God transform Moses from a reluctant, frightened runaway into one of the greatest leaders in world history? Stephen gives us the remarkable answer as he continues to extract wonderful truths from Moses' life and ministry.
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.
