When Samson can no longer see physically, he finally sees spiritually. When everything else is stripped away, he finally understands what really matters. What will God have to take away from you in order to let you finally see Him?
In this message Stephen takes us through the journey of Samson's life to warn us that spiritual potential doesn't always lead to spiritual success. It's not what you have that defines you . . . It's what you do with what you have.
Has it ever occurred to you that what you believe determines how you behave? What you believe about God affects everything about you. The decisions you make as well as your attitude in life are impacted by your beliefs. They can be glorious or tragic, as we will discover in the life of Jephthah.
The unbelievable grace of God does not care about heredity. It is not limited by the social, parental, and environmental factors that men consider determinative. If God can use a man like Jephthah . . . and can use you and I as well!
Do you know why God has given us armor to fight with? Because He wants believers to fight! God wants to teach us how to wage spiritual warfare! There is a fundamental principle in this; a timeless truth: God is more interested in developing His people than in displaying His power.
The Old Testament book of Judges is a story of a nation gone mad with sin and rebellion. One generation would serve God, but then the ones that immediately followed turned far from Him. What went wrong? Why didn't the children follow the religion of their parents? Find out now as Stephen begins his study of Israel's judges.
If God really is sovereign and He has promised to meet all our needs, then why do we covet? In this message Stephen reminds us that contentment will be found when we stop asking for more from God and start asking for more of God.
Our tongue has more influence on people than our income, our figure, our face, our wardrobe, our car, and our home combined. Our tongues can mend a marriage or tear it apart. Our tongues can heal a church or destroy it. So how beautiful is your tongue? Find out now as Stephen continues his series, "Down from Sinai."
Stealing is wrong. We know that because it's one of the Ten Commandments. But why is it wrong? What harm does it really do? Why does God hate it so much? That's what we really need to find out.
We are constantly bombarded with images of sexual promiscuity in our modern culture and they come under the title, "sexual expression." But the Bible is clear that sexual sin carries a high price. "Flee youthful lusts," it says . . . and that literally means, "Run for your life!"
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.
