episode Our Business Is to Please Christ - Damon Davis cover

Description

In this sermon, the message focuses on 2 Corinthians 5:6-11 and the believer's calling to live with eternity in view. While we walk by faith and not by sight, our purpose is not simply to make it through life, but to please Christ in everything we do. The Apostle Paul reminds us that every believer will one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ, where our works and service will be examined. Because what we do today has eternal significance, we are called to live intentionally, faithfully, and with a desire to honor the Lord. The sermon emphasizes that there are opportunities to please God that only exist while we are present in these earthly bodies. Faith, endurance through trials, serving others, and boldly sharing the gospel are privileges that belong to this life alone. While salvation is secured through Christ, our lives can still be lived with eternal purpose or squandered through neglect. This message encourages believers to make every day count, knowing that God sees every act of faithfulness and will never forget the labor of love offered in His name.

Scars Won't Stop Me - Damon Davis

In this sermon, the message centers on Galatians 6:17, where Paul declares, “I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” Everyone who spends enough time in this world will experience wounds. Some heal completely, while others leave scars that remain. Whether they are physical, emotional, or spiritual, scars are reminders of battles fought, pain endured, and seasons survived. This message acknowledges the reality of hurt while pointing to the greater truth that our scars do not have the final say over our identity or our purpose. Drawing from the scars of Christ in John 20, the sermon reminds us that even the resurrected Savior still bore the marks of His suffering. Those scars were not signs of defeat but testimonies of victory. Like the worn violin that seemed worthless until it was placed in the hands of a master, our value is not determined by what wounded us, but by who holds us. Whether the scars came from broken relationships, personal loss, trauma, or even church hurt, God is able to use what marked us for His glory. Scars may remind you of where you've been, but they do not define who you are. In the Master's hands, your story can still make beautiful music.

Stop Knocking on Doors You Have the Keys to - Damon Davis

In this sermon, the message looks at Acts 13:36 and the testimony that David served his own generation by the will of God. The focus is on recognizing that every believer has been given purpose, responsibility, and access through the finished work of Jesus Christ. God has not called His people to stand helplessly before doors He has already given them keys to open. Through Christ, believers are invited to move from a posture of constant petition into a posture of faithful action, serving their generation according to the will of God. The sermon also connects this truth to Matthew 16:19, where Jesus speaks of the keys of the kingdom and the authority to bind and loose. These keys are not for selfish ambition or personal gain, but for enforcing the will of heaven on earth. To bind is to restrain, forbid, and stop the works of darkness. To loose is to release, liberate, and set free what heaven has already permitted. This message reminds us that kingdom authority belongs to believers who walk in alignment with the will of God, using the access He has given to serve, act, and bring heaven’s purpose into the earth.

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.”
