The Sacred Calling of Work
In this sermon on Titus 2:9–10, Stephen Davey explains that every believer’s work—no matter how ordinary—is a sacred calling from God. Drawing from Paul’s instructions to servants, he shows that Christians honor Christ in their workplaces through humility, reliability, a respectful spirit, honesty, loyalty, and an eternal perspective. When believers approach their daily responsibilities with integrity and a desire to please God rather than merely people, their lives become a visible testimony that “adorns” the gospel. Even simple, unnoticed acts of faithfulness can reflect the beauty of Christ and influence others toward the Savior.

A Pattern for Young Men (Part 2)
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.

A Model for Married Women (Part 2)
In this sermon on Titus 2:6–8, Stephen Davey explains that younger men are called to stand out in a culture that often celebrates immaturity by living with self-control and spiritual integrity. Paul instructs Titus to model godly character so that younger believers can see what faithful living looks like in everyday life. Sound teaching must be matched by honorable conduct, sincerity, and speech that cannot be condemned. When believers live this way, critics are left without legitimate accusations against the gospel. Stephen Davey emphasizes that a disciplined life and credible example give powerful testimony to the truth of God’s Word.

Rare Words for Rare Women
In this sermon on Titus 2:3–5, Stephen Davey explains that older women play a vital role in the spiritual health of the church by modeling godly character and intentionally mentoring younger women. Paul’s instructions call them to live reverently, avoid destructive speech and habits, and invest their lives in teaching practical wisdom about marriage, family, purity, and self-control. Rather than leaving spiritual growth to chance, the church is designed for generations to disciple one another through personal relationships and example. Stephen Davey emphasizes that when older believers faithfully guide the next generation, the Word of God is honored and strengthened within the family of faith.
The Treasure of Old Men
In this sermon on Titus 2:1–2, Stephen Davey calls the church to a “family meeting,” beginning with a challenge to older men to model godly maturity in a culture devoted to perpetual adolescence. Drawing from Paul’s instructions to Titus, he explains that sound doctrine must be matched by sound behavior—older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, and spiritually healthy in faith, love, and perseverance. Rather than resisting age, they are to embrace it as a season of responsibility, mentoring, and spiritual depth. Stephen Davey reminds the church that older men who pursue Christ and treasure what truly matters become invaluable treasures to the family of God.
