Oven will not come on, display for digital clock not showing, gas burners work fine. Control buttons for the oven do not work.

Likely your oven igniter is bad. Part number 74007498
SOURCE: Gas stove works, but oven does not
A gas oven will have some built in safety devices. Assuming that you have an electric pilot light sparking device, anything in the pilot light circuit could cause your problem
The oven does not "want" to turn the gas on unless there is an operating pilot system.
Since you never smell gas, but gas is available, then something in the pilot light circuit sounds like the culprit.
It could be as simple as carbon build up on the igniter or an internal fusing mechanism.
If you can get into the oven to the igniter, you could try cleaning the unit with a plastic scrunge.
I'm going to guess that this is not going to respond well to 'home grown' measures and that it will require replacement of parts.
Perhaps it is time to bite the bullet and call in repair......
good luck

IF THE RANGE IS DOING EVERTHING BUT HEATING THE OVEN IT IS MOST OFTEN THE IGNITOR

This will sound crazy but I had to work through it on my own stove a few years ago. The ignitor (glow tube) was getting hot but the oven would not owrk. When investigating the problem I found that the gas valve will only open when the ignitor pulls a specific amperage or draw of current. As the ignitor ages it pu;;s a reduced draw of current. This causes you to be fooled by the glow nut no gas. Replace your ignitor and your oven will begin to work again!
You can get ignitors easily online by doing a search for "appliance parts" and then entering the model number of your stove. Look for ignitor and you will be good to go. Also check out a few different sites as the prices of the parts can vary quite a bit.
Testimonial: "Thank you very much for your help. I was looking for a thermocouple but that must be old school. I couldn't figure out what told gas to flow."
