Living in the City of Man Part 2 (Titus 3:1–2)

Share a commentRome didn't need another angry letter It needed a different kind of person We pick up in Titus and ask what it looks like to represent the city of God while living in the city of man especially when the surrounding culture feels morally upside down and authority feels frustrating Stephen walks through why early Christians became known as remarkable people not because they had power but because their character refused to look like the status quo We talk candidly about submission to government and where the line is drawn we obey the law until the law demands [... more]

Living in the City of Man Part 1 (Titus 3:1–2)

Share a commentThe pressure to quit on culture is real and it is growing When you watch faith mocked morality redefined and even public prayer treated like a problem it can feel easier to pull back into a safe Christian bubble We push against that impulse with a surprising biblical reminder God didn't save us and immediately take us to heaven because He wants our lives right here to demonstrate the reality of the City of God while we live in the City of Man Stephen Davy opens a new series in the book of Titus called Remarkable Christianity and [... more]

Choosing Contentment

If there's one word that defines our culture it's more More upgrades More comfort More square footage More of whatever promises to make life a little better Yet despite having more than previous generations could have imagined many of us feel less satisfied than ever Why Because contentment doesn't come from acquiring what's next It's cultivated in the heart right where we are And Scripture reminds us that contentment isn't something we stumble upon It's something we can learn Why More Is Never EnoughWe're all tempted to believe that the next purchase promotion milestone or change in circumstances will finally [... more]

Defined by Christ, Not Wealth

Money can tell you how much you have but it makes a terrible answer to the question Who am I Wealth is a gift to steward but it was never meant to become our identity Yet in a culture that often measures success by income possessions and financial security it's easy to begin defining ourselves by what we have or what we lack Scripture offers a different perspective In fact some of Jesus' most memorable teachings about wealth reveal what happens when possessions become central to a person's identity When Wealth Becomes Your IdentityHave you ever noticed how Scripture describes [... more]

A Different Bill of Rights Part 1 (Luke 6:27-36)

Share a commentThe Golden Rule is easy to quote and hard to live especially when the other person is hostile unfair or publicly against you We sit with Jesus' words in Luke and watch him overturn the normal you scratch my back I'll scratch yours way of life What he offers is not self-protection or a strategy to win the culture wars but a deeply disruptive way to be human that starts with one command love your enemies From there we wrestle with a tension many Christians feel but rarely name the difference between the American Bill of Rights and [... more]

Warning Signs (Luke 6:24-26)

Share a commentThe most dangerous warning signs aren't always in the sky or the headlines Sometimes they show up as comfort confidence and applause We start with the big biblical storyline of prophecy and judgment walking through Peter and the Great White Throne scene in Revelation where God's Word frames the future with sobering clarity The point isn't to stir panic but to remember who sustains the universe who sets the timeline and why God doesn't change the brochures when it comes to what He has promised Then we go back to Noah the flood and God's covenant in Genesis [... more]

The Finishing Touch Part 1 (2 Peter 1:7b)

Share a commentIf love is everywhere why does it feel so thin We dig into agape the kind of love Scripture treats as the finishing touch of spiritual maturity and the one quality that keeps everything else from going off the rails Peter's list in Peter stacks up virtues like knowledge self-control steadfastness and godliness then lands on love as the crown We talk about why that matters without agape knowledge quietly turns into pride virtue hardens into legalism and perseverance becomes self-preservation We also slow down and compare the common Greek words for love Storge is family affection philia [... more]
