When life deals us a painful blow, we're often tempted to strike back, aren't we? It goes against our nature to weather the storms of life silently. But that's exactly what God wants us to do sometimes. Obedience is learned through patience, and patience is only born through trials.
Suppose you discovered a fountain of youth and it had the power to make you youthful and beautiful forever! What would you do? Would you give the water to your friends? Would you share it with the needy and sick? Or would you hide it and keep its power only for yourself? The Gospel is a fountain of living water . . . are we sharing it with others?
Do you think your problems are too small to be noticed by a God who rules over the vast affairs of nations? Do you think your concerns are flying under God's radar? Well this message will cause you to think again!
Greed dominates our world today. From the advertisements of Madison Avenue to the profit-grabbing of Wall Street, the love of money is all around us. But greed isn't new. it's an epidemic as old as humanity itself. There is a cure, however . . . if you're willing to accept it.
There are two lepers in 2 Kings 5 and both teach us something different about God. One teaches us that God is gracious and forgiving when we repent; the other teaches us just how serious God is about integrity. Let's join Stephen in this message as he introduces us to both men.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to survive impossible situations? To hold on to hope when all seems hopeless? Many of us have had days, even weeks, when the way forward seemed bleak and we just weren't sure how to press on. We can take heart from this study of the life of Elisha. He lived what seemed to be an impossible life . . . because with God all things are possible.
Though tough times are by their nature unpleasant, they are designed by God to develop trust. We see in the life of Elisha that those who are willing to trust eventually see God's power revealed. Just because our hands are tied doesn't mean our hearts have to be.
Jesus said that all the Law and the Prophets can be summed up in one law: love the Lord with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. Are you obeying the Law of Love?

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.
