How Then Shall We Live How can we possibly explain the state of our nation … or of the world for that matter? Countless explanations are offered by those who do not know God.

“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”
Sermons by Steve Demers
How Then Shall We Live “Discipleship” is an often-used word in Christian circles today, but as with most often-used words, it means different things to different people. To some it means simply saying the words, “I believe in Jesus.” To others it means abiding by a certain set of “rules” or commands, presumably taken from the Bible. Various other definitions are tossed…
Going … Make Disciples! No matter what is going on in the world around us, this we know … our sovereign God is in control and His plan will be accomplished, for the good of those who know and love Him, and for His glory! Jesus is on the throne and the angels are singing, “Holy! Holy! Holy!” at this very moment!!…
Going … Make Disciples! Throughout the course of human history “greatness” has been defined in various ways. For some greatness is measured by popularity, while others measure it by one’s accomplishments, and still others by character or some unusual personal “success.” All of these standards of measurement are subject to the perspective of the one who is doing the “judging.” What is…
Going … Make Disciples! It has been said that “Words matter!” Yet it could be debated what even that statement MEANS! What about the statement, “Actions speak louder than words?” Does that mean words DON’T matter? These brief examples reveal the importance of definitions. It has become clear today that we need to define words that have been used for hundreds of…
Going … Make Disciples! “Life” … a little word with only four letters … but without LIFE you are DEAD!! A young boy in a movie from many years ago said the now famous words, “I see dead people!” He was talking about actually “seeing” people who had died, but there is a different kind of “dead people.” When most people talk…
Going … Make Disciples! It probably seems strange to most people to talk so much about a “kingdom,” because we live in a world where most nations, other than Great Britain (the “United Kingdom”) do not have a king … and even there the king is more of a title than anything else because he has no real authority. Yet the entire…
Going … Make Disciples! Most people probably have some kind of “wish list.” People look at their lives and imagine what might make them happier or more fulfilled/satisfied. You can think of the children’s stories of a genie in a bottle who would grant three wishes. What would you wish for? As you look at your life in this world today, where…
Going … Make Disciples! It has been said many times that “Christianity is not a spectator sport!” What does that mean for YOU?? Most people who claim to believe in Jesus seem to live as though Christianity is an “add-on” to their lives. It is their “religion of choice” … for now. Going to church or praying or reading the Bible, and…
Going … Make Disciples! “Authority” is almost considered to be a “four-letter word” by many in our nation today. Whether it is police or government or courts, or teachers, bosses, supervisors and the like, people have a hard time today acknowledging that anyone has the “right” to tell them what to do. Obedience to almost any authority is challenged, leaving people in…
