Chasing Sticks

In his message from Romans 1:8, Stephen Davey explores the godly affections and legacy of the Apostle Paul. Paul’s heartfelt prayer reveals a deep affection for God, a genuine love for God’s people, and a desire to see God’s purposes fulfilled in the world. These are the characteristics of a godly man who is leaving behind a spiritual legacy that will impact future generations.

Through stories, personal reflections, and biblical truth, Davey contrasts a life spent “chasing sticks”—pursuing temporary, meaningless things—with a life spent pursuing God. A godly man or woman is called to invest in others, pass down biblical truth, and model a life of faith.

This message is a challenge to all believers to consider the kind of legacy they are leaving. Whether you are raising children, leading a church, or simply following Christ, the way you live today will influence those around you. Let’s chase after God and pass down a spiritual inheritance that will endure.
