Stephen Davey Sermons

Send us Fan Mail A culture can call the cross “oppression” and still be haunted by the question it cannot answer: what makes a human life valuable, and who gets to decide? We start with the growing pressure to erase Christian faith from public memory and national conscience, then follow the ripple effects that show up in real life, from moral relativism to a collapsing sense of personhood and iden...

Send us Fan Mail “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” That slogan sounds freeing until you notice the gamble hidden inside it: probably. We pull on that single word and ask what we ask in every other high-stakes part of life, from flying on a plane to trusting what we consume. If we demand solid confidence for temporary decisions, why would we settle for a shrug when t...

Send us Fan Mail A well-dressed stranger pulls up in an SUV, shows off his tech, counts a flock with confidence and then drives away with the wrong animal. We start there because it’s hilarious, and because it exposes something serious: our world is full of voices that sound smart but do not know us, and they cannot lead us into safety, clarity, or peace. We open Psalm 23 and slow down long enough...

Send us Fan Mail The ground can move under you without you feeling a thing, until one day the map no longer matches reality. We start with literal continental drift and use it as a clear picture of what many of us sense right now: a moral and ethical shift that has accelerated in our lifetime, especially around sexuality, marriage, and the idea that personal feelings get the final word. While cult...

Send us Fan Mail Pompeii is more than a ruined tourist stop. It’s a frozen moment that asks a live question: what happens when judgment arrives on a day that feels like any other day? We start with Mount Vesuvius and the terrifying speed of destruction, then use that catastrophe as a doorway into 2 Peter chapter 2, where Peter lays out a sober, logical case that God has judged before and will judg...

Send us Fan Mail Most people don’t realize there’s a “half-life” to fame. Even the biggest athletes, actors, and leaders get swallowed by cultural forgetting faster than we expect, and the numbers are humbling. We start there, then follow the thread to a strange exception: Noah. Thousands of years later, his name still lands, and not because it’s cute or comforting, but because it’s tied to a warn...

Send us Fan Mail A fake seatbelt is a perfect symbol of modern self-deception: it looks like safety, it signals compliance, and it keeps trouble away right up until the moment impact exposes what’s real. We start there with a story of stubborn “autonomy,” then pivot to a heavier question: when God warns us, is He limiting our freedom or protecting our lives? We open to 2 Peter chapter 2, where Pet...

Send us Fan Mail Something can smell expensive and still be fake. We open with a wild example from the food world: “truffle oil” that’s marketed like luxury but contains zero truffles. Then we ask the harder question: what happens when Christian teaching works the same way, with the right vocabulary, the right tone, and the right platform, but without the substance of biblical truth? We walk throu...

Send us Fan Mail A lab coat can make a bad product sound like medicine, and a religious title can do the same thing to bad theology. We start with a wild piece of advertising history, then pivot to the far more serious question: how do you recognize spiritual deception before it costs you clarity, joy, and faithfulness?  Working through 2 Peter 2, we name three early warning signs Peter highlights...

Send us Fan Mail Snake oil didn’t start as a punchline. It was once a real treatment for aching joints, until a famous salesman turned it into a traveling show and sold people a warming sensation that looked like a cure. That true story opens a sharper question we all have to face: what happens when the “product” is spiritual, the pitch is religious, and the stakes are eternal? We connect the rise...

Send us Fan Mail A $500 Porsche sounds like a dream deal until you hear the reason it was priced that way and the punchline becomes a warning: trouble can change what we think is valuable in a single moment. We start with that story, remember how a crisis like COVID reshuffled everyday priorities, and then ask the bigger question behind it all: what happens when God reshuffles the value of everyth...

Send us Fan Mail A barefoot teenager in rural Wales saves for six years and then walks twenty miles to buy a Bible in her own language. That story isn’t sentimental filler, it’s a mirror. If we say we believe the Word of God, do we actually trust it enough to treat it like treasure? We follow the thread from Mary Jones to the early church, where Peter is accused of selling “cleverly devised myths”...

Send us Fan Mail Truth sounds harsh until you realize the alternative is chaos. We start with a simple claim you’ve probably heard before: all religions are basically true. It feels inclusive, but it falls apart the moment two beliefs collide. From there, we follow the real reason the Bible keeps getting singled out, critiqued, and re-labeled as “just another sacred book” and why that move is more...

Send us Fan Mail A single lecture in a college classroom can shake someone’s faith for years. We start with a story that hits close to home: a respected Christian student hears that the “wrong books” made it into the Bible, the “real books” were hidden, and church power plays invented the faith. His conclusion is blunt and painful: he no longer trusts the Bible, and he walks away. That moment sets...

Send us Fan Mail A swamp is no place to wander without a guide. We open with the Great Dismal Swamp—its stagnant waters, hidden paths, and sudden dangers—and follow Peter’s bold claim that the world can feel just like that: murky, forbidding, and full of pitfalls. The answer, he says, is not a thrill of new experiences but a steady lamp: the prophetic word. We walk through Peter’s defense in 2 Pet...

Send us Fan Mail Some messages sparkle while quietly bending the truth. We step into the tension with Peter, who faced charges of “clever myths” for proclaiming that Jesus is the Son of God and will return to reign. Instead of retreating, he reaches back to the mountain where heaven’s brightness broke through. There, the veil of Christ’s humanity lifted and uncreated light flooded the scene—garmen...

Send us Fan Mail What if the biggest spiritual threat isn’t outside the church but already in our language—lucky numbers, “good energy,” and manifesting disguised as faith? We open 2 Peter 1:16 and confront a charge as old as the apostles: that Christianity is just a beautiful myth. From the Book of Jubilees to modern word‑faith formulas, we trace how superstition dresses itself in borrowed Bible...

Send us Fan Mail A university can start with “Truth for Christ and His Church” and end with a mission that never mentions Christ. That same quiet drift can happen to any of us. We open with the cautionary story of the Ivy League and then turn to 2 Peter 1, where an aging apostle sounds an alarm we still need: remember what is true, apply what you know, and refuse the slow undertow that pulls a lif...

Send us Fan Mail A lone wheelchair rolling through deserts, blizzards, and mountain roads becomes a window into something far greater: the kind of welcome a faithful life can receive. We open with a true story of grit and a surprise arena of cheers, then trace how Scripture lifts that scene into a hope-filled picture of the Bema seat—where grace cancels condemnation and Christ delights to commend...

Send us Fan Mail A house blazing with lights can make a neighborhood glow, but it can’t quiet a restless heart. We open with holiday humor and then pivot to the angels’ proclamation over Bethlehem, drawing a straight line to a frostbitten night in 1914 when British and German soldiers climbed out of the trenches and sang the same carol on no man’s land. That fragile ceasefire feels like the world’...

Send us Fan Mail What if the final ingredient for a life that isn’t wasted isn’t more knowledge or stronger willpower, but a kind of love most of the world has forgotten? We explore the seventh “supplement” in 2 Peter 1—agape—and show why it’s the crown of Christian development, the glue that holds every other virtue together, and the guardrail that keeps growth on the right road. Without agape, p...

Send us Fan Mail A president mocked as a “village clown” kept his door open to the weary and the unknown. That image launches us into a candid, practical journey through brotherly love—the kind of deliberate, disciplined affection that turns a crowd into a family and keeps faith from going cold. We weave Lincoln’s surprising hospitality with vivid moments from the life of Jesus, where compassion i...

Send us Fan Mail Looking for a breakthrough but tired of hype? We make a strong case that the most reliable path to spiritual growth is not novelty but a return to the basics. Drawing on 2 Peter 1, we unpack seven qualities—faith’s supplements—that safeguard a believer from drifting into an ineffective and unfruitful life. The heartbeat of the conversation is godliness, defined not as a halo but a...

Send us Fan Mail A single word carved into stone by an 18-year-old prisoner still speaks across centuries: endure. We open with the stark beauty and spiritual barrenness of France, then move into the Huguenot story and Marie Durand’s 38-year stand in the Tower of Constance. From there, we connect past courage to present resilience, unpacking Peter’s charge to “make every effort” and exploring why...

Send us Fan Mail A catchy slogan can’t change a stubborn heart, and white-knuckle willpower won’t hold when life shakes you. We open the hood on self-control and look beyond “just say no” to the deeper engine Scripture describes: a Spirit-led life that learns to hold steady under pressure, speak with wisdom, and choose long-term good over instant relief. Starting in 2 Peter 1, we unpack the seven...
