The Epistle of James is one of the most challenging letters in the New Testament. Written by the half-brother of Jesus, the Apostle James pulls no punches as he encouraged the believer to practice what he preaches. James writes with gut-level reality, and here’s why: while many of the New Testament epistles deliver what we are to believe, James declares how we should behave. In this practical volume, Stephen expounds on the truths of James and clarifies the theme of this powerful letter: our faith must be lived out!

While our culture is effectively abandoning any remaining vestiges of biblical authority, the Church unashamedly delivers truth and hope. How is the Christian—and the local church—supposed to operate, grow, serve, and live out the Gospel? We need not guess at the answers. An inspired letter from the first century to a young pastor addressed them all . . . and the answers haven’t changed.

By the time John the Apostle enters his nineties, he is the last living apostle. After preaching the gospel for decades, John could have faded into a quiet retirement, content with the impact he made on the first-century church. Instead, this elder statesman picks up his pen and writes three personal postcards — one addressed to a local church and two delivered to individual believers. These inspired letters offer wisdom and encouragement for faithful disciples worldwide.

What is faith? No better answer is given in perhaps all the Bible than in the great eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews. Here a tapestry is unfolded, depicting great examples of faith from the record of Old Testament heroes.

The Disciples Prayer delves into Jesus's response to His disciples' pivotal request: "Lord, teach us to pray". This book unpacks the model prayer found in Luke 11 and Matthew 6, often referred to as the Lord's Prayer but more accurately understood as a pattern for disciples. Through detailed exposition and illustrative examples, Stephen Davey reveals that this seemingly concise prayer offers profound insights into our relationship with God and the essence of true worship. The book contrasts genuine prayer with the performative religiosity Jesus confronted in His time, highlighting the ...

Scandals abound in a drama cast in the ancient Persian Empire.

With that in mind, Stephen has undertaken a special biographical series, illustrating biblical truths through the lives of contemporary believers; men and women who provide for us a wonderful legacy of light.

Everything previous points to it. Everything after looks back. All of history revolves around one single event. If you had been there on that hillside, you may not have realized what you were witnessing. It looked like a standard execution, just two thieves, and one rebel receiving their punishment; it was no different than the previous hundred crucifixions. Everything seemed normal – at least, until the ground began to shake, and the sky grew dark. The aftereffects of the cross of Christ are more than earthquakes and thunder. The reverberations can still be seen and felt 2000 years later...

This volume compiles all three decades worth of Christmas material into a beautiful hardcover book. While it is impossible to express the inexhaustible subject of Christ's incarnation in a single book (or all the books in the world for that matter), this resource will help to focus your heart and mind on the true meaning of the season as we marvel once again at the mystery of Christ's redemptive plan.

In 39 seconds Job’s life changed forever. One messenger tripped over another to bring him devastating, heartbreaking news. What Job didn’t know was that God had chosen to make him an example of genuine faith in the midst of trying times. To this day we refer to Job as the example of a suffering saint. Frankly, his life deserves a closer examination . . . and a better imitation from us all.

When you consider what Christ has done for you, the best response is to give yourself joyfully to seeing Him. Following Christ does not mean you avoid adversity. In fact, it might send you straight into times of hardship and difficulty. But as believers, we have a steady source of joy and we are free to give our lives in faithful, humble service to those around us.

Before making covenants with Abraham, Moses and David, and before inaugurating a new covenant at the cross, God established the very first covenant at the dawning of human history: a covenant called marriage. As Pastor Stephen Davey investigates the Apostle Peter’s message to husbands and wives in chapter three of his inspired letter, he’ll teach us afresh why saying “I do” daily is part of our great commission.

As citizens of two kingdoms, Christians face the unique challenge of determining where their allegiance should lie. Do believers pledge allegiance to one nation or to one God above all nations? The Church finds itself in a similar crisis. Is the mission of the Church to reform politics or to redeem people? In this book covering Romans 13:1-7, Stephen clarifies the believer's responsibility as a dual-citizen of heaven and earth. He also examines the difficult relationship between Church and State, encouraging the Church to focus more on saving Americans than saving America.

With magical pen in hand, C.S. Lewis crafted a beautiful tale filled with mystical places, talking animals, and fierce battles in a land called Narnia. Lewis wrote, "The whole story of Narnia is the story about Christ. I asked myself: supposing that there really was a world like Narnia and supposing it had (like our world) gone wrong, and supposing Christ wanted to go into that world and save it. What might have happened? The stories are my answers." In this booklet, Stephen explores the wonderful world of Narnia. The stories of C.S. Lewis are interwoven with biblical themes and spiritual ...
