Even in His final hours, Jesus reminds us that compassion and duty are inseparable.

This passage challenges us to honor our families, care for those around us, and trust God through the divisions and misunderstandings that faith in Christ can bring. Join us as we explore how this simple yet profound act from the cross reveals the heart of the gospel—and how it calls us to live with compassion and purpose.

Is Heaven just a comforting myth, or is it the real destination for believers? In a world where billionaires invest millions trying to cheat death, the Bible offers a better promise: eternity with Christ. In Philippians 3, Paul describes the stark contrast between those focused on earthly things and those whose citizenship is in Heaven. For the believer, Heaven is more than wishful thinking—it’s the ultimate reality.

In this episode, Stephen Davey explores the profound truths of Philippians 3:20-21. He explains how believers are not only citizens of Heaven but also heirs of a glorious transformation. One day, our lowly bodies will be transformed into the likeness of Christ’s glorified body through His infinite power. This promise gives us hope, strength, and a reason to stand firm amid life’s struggles.

Stephen also addresses the urgent question: Is your name written in Heaven’s registry? Earthly possessions and achievements won’t matter at the end of life’s journey. What will matter is whether you’re among the saved or the lost. Tune in to discover the life-changing hope found in Christ and how this eternal perspective can transform the way you live today.

Are you running after Judas? It’s an unsettling question, but it’s one we must ask ourselves. Judas Iscariot pursued money, influence, and his own agenda, yet his story ended in tragic destruction. In Philippians 3, Paul contrasts this path of earthly ambition with the eternal prize of following Christ. He writes with tears in his eyes, warning us that pursuing the wrong things leads to condemnation, shame, and eternal separation from God.

In this episode, Stephen Davey explores Paul’s heartfelt plea for believers to examine their direction in life. Are we captivated by fleeting pleasures, worldly possessions, or human accolades? Or are we running with endurance toward Jesus, the only source of eternal joy and fulfillment? Stephen unpacks the Apostle Paul’s vivid descriptions of the unbelieving world, highlighting the stark differences between those who chase after the temporal and those who strive for the eternal.

This message is a call to stop running in the wrong direction. It’s an invitation to leave behind the empty pursuits of this world and run toward Jesus, who offers forgiveness, purpose, and everlasting life. Tune in to recalibrate your focus and rediscover the joy of walking with Christ.

Using the metaphor of a musician finding “Middle C,” Stephen challenges us to align our lives to the consistent and unchanging character of Jesus.

With humility and transparency, Stephen reminds us that spiritual growth isn’t about perfection but about staying focused on the right target—becoming more like Christ.

If you’re feeling distracted, discouraged, or unsure of where to aim your efforts, this message will give you fresh perspective and practical steps to re-center your life on Christ. Tune in to learn how to keep moving forward, anchored in the hope and power of the gospel.

Paul admits he hasn’t “arrived” but refuses to quit, pressing on toward the ultimate prize—the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Stephen highlights five essential attitudes for running life’s race well: honesty about your current spiritual state, determination to keep pressing on, a single-minded focus on Christ, letting go of past baggage, and keeping your eyes on the eternal prize. Using vivid illustrations and biblical insights, this message offers practical wisdom to help you navigate life’s challenges, embrace grace, and move forward with confidence.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by past mistakes or distracted by life’s pressures, this episode will encourage you to fix your eyes on Christ and find freedom in His grace.
