When I Fall, I Shall Arise - Damon Davis

When I Fall, I Shall Arise - Damon Davis

In this sermon, the message centers on the power of a comeback. Proverbs 24:16 reminds us that a just man may fall seven times, but he rises again. At some point in life, everyone loses their balance, but falling does not have to be the end of the story. From Moses at the burning bush, to Ezekiel prophesying to dry bones, to Lazarus hearing the voice of Jesus, Scripture shows us that God is able to call people back to life, purpose, obedience, and strength. The sermon is a call to return. Like the prodigal son coming home to a father waiting with open arms, and like the one leper who turned back to give thanks, this message invites us to come back to what matters most. Come back to putting God first. Come back to peace, wisdom, strength, and worship. Revelation 2 reminds us to return to our first love, and Micah 7:8 declares that even when we fall, we shall arise. This is a message for anyone ready to say, “I’m coming back.”

Neither Do I Condemn Thee - Damon Davis

In this sermon, the message comes from John 8 and the story of the woman caught in adultery. She was guilty, the accusers knew the law, and they brought her before Jesus demanding a verdict. But instead of immediately answering them, Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust of the temple floor. This sermon looks at the tension of that moment, where law, accusation, guilt, and mercy all meet in the presence of Christ. The message also draws a connection to Numbers 5, where holy water, temple dust, and the written curse were involved in the law of jealousy. In John 8, Jesus stands as the greater Priest and the ultimate Mediator. Holiness required justice, but living water brought mercy. The law required a bitter cup, but grace revealed that someone else would drink it. This sermon reminds us that Jesus did not ignore sin, but He stepped into the place of condemnation, silenced the accusers, and offered mercy that leads to a changed life: “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”

The Measure of a Man - Damon Davis

In this sermon, the message comes from 1 Corinthians 16, where Paul commands believers to watch, stand fast in the faith, act like men, be strong, and let everything be done with charity. The sermon looks at what it truly means to be a man from a biblical perspective, not simply by biology, age, culture, or society’s changing standards. While the world may define manhood by different milestones, Scripture points us back to God’s design: men created in His image, called to responsibility, dominion, faithfulness, strength, and love. The message also challenges Christian men to step into spiritual leadership, not as harsh rulers, but as fathers, protectors, examples, and men after God’s own heart. Drawing from passages like 1 Corinthians 4, 1 Corinthians 11, and 1 Samuel, the sermon reminds us that there are many instructors, but not many fathers. When men lead and love well, everything around them flourishes. This is a call for men to stand fast in the faith, hunger for the presence and will of God, protect their families spiritually, and reject the blurred lines of a culture that has confused boyhood, adolescence, and biblical manhood.

A Bridled Tongue - Damon Davis

In this sermon, the message comes from James 1 and James 3, where Scripture deals plainly with the power of the tongue. James teaches that if a man seems religious but cannot bridle his tongue, his religion is vain. The sermon challenges the idea that worship can be separated from speech, reminding us that what comes out of the mouth reveals what is happening in the heart. True religion is not just seen in outward appearance, church attendance, or spiritual language, but in a life that is governed by God, including the words we speak. The message also looks at how James compares the tongue to a bit in a horse’s mouth, a small helm on a ship, and a little fire that can set much ablaze. Though the tongue is small, it has the power to steer direction, cause damage, bless God, or wound people made in the image of God. This sermon reminds us that even joking words can offend and injure when they are not brought under the control of the Spirit. Out of the same mouth should not come both blessing and cursing, and God calls His people to let their speech reflect a pure and undefiled faith.

Breaking False Covenants - Damon Davis

In this sermon, the message comes from Exodus 34, where God makes covenant with His people and warns them not to enter into covenant with the inhabitants of the land. The Lord declares that His name is Jealous, revealing that His jealousy is not insecurity or envy like we often think of in human terms, but His holy refusal to share His people with any rival. He is zealous over the covenant He has made, and He calls His people to destroy every altar, break every image, and remove every snare that would pull their hearts away from Him. The sermon reminds us that what we come into agreement with can become a covenant in our lives. God does not want His people joined to disease, depression, anxiety, doubt, or anything that sets itself up as a rival to His promise. Where sickness tries to speak, He offers healing. Where depression tries to rule, He brings joy. Where anxiety rises, He gives peace. Where doubt takes hold, He calls us back to faith. Through passages like Psalm 115 and Psalm 135, the message shows the danger of trusting in lifeless idols and reminds us that we become like what we worship. God’s jealousy is His passionate love calling us away from every false covenant and back into full devotion to Him.
