Wisdom for the Heart

Dr. Stephen Davey

June 17, 2026

Jesus chooses twelve men to be his core team, bypassing the religious establishment and selecting those who realize they need him. He prays for them, knowing their flaws and future, and chooses them not for who they are but for who they will become. The first group of disciples is Peter, Andrew, James, and John, with Peter being the most prominent and unpredictable, yet steadfast in his faith. Andrew, Peter's brother, is the first to follow Jesus and brings his brother to meet him, demonstrating humility and a willingness to bring people to Jesus. [... more]

The New Marriage (Romans 7:1–4)

The concept of marriage as a binding covenant is rooted in natural law, understood intuitively by people everywhere, regardless of their faith or background. Paul's teachings in Romans chapter 7 emphasize the limitation of the law, which only has jurisdiction over the living, and the importance of understanding the natural law of marriage as a lifelong commitment. In Christ, believers are released from the law and joined to their perfect husband, Jesus Christ, in a union that cannot be broken. [... more]

Seeking Wise Counsel

Seeking wise counsel is a key part of faithful stewardship, and it's essential to recognize that God never intended for us to walk through life's biggest decisions alone. Biblical wisdom includes discernment, humility, and the willingness to receive insight from others, and it's crucial to remind ourselves that these voices keep us from drifting into the ditches of greed, fear, impulsiveness, or self-reliance. When making financial decisions, we can look for voices that justify our desires, reinforce our fears, or confirm what we've already decided, but wise counsel doesn't merely validate us, it helps us see what we cannot see on our own.

A Tale of Two Cities Part 2 (Revelation 17:1-7; 16-17)

Human history can be viewed as the attempt by Satan to bring men back to a new Babylon after he failed in Genesis chapter 11 to create a global political order of mankind where every empire answers to one being with this one world religion serving as the glue in this political empire that defies creator God. The conflict that began in Genesis will reach its climax in Revelation, and the world is set for a final Kingdom where the Antichrist will demand that everybody worship before the image of his own greatness and the glory of his own empire.
