The Parables of Jesus When people think of the word “philosophy” most probably think of a class you might take in college. Most people believe philosophy has nothing to do with them … yet every person who has ever lived has had a philosophy of life that they lived out, whether for good or for bad. Most people don’t even realize how their own…

“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”
Sermons by Steve Demers (Page 12)
The Parables of Jesus The parable of the Good Samaritan is perhaps one of the easiest parables of Jesus to understand, and perhaps one of the most difficult to DO … to live out!! The lesson is simple: Everyone God puts in your path is your neighbor, and God tells you to “love your neighbor as yourself!” Who does that?? Do we even begin to…
The Parables of Jesus Listening to Jesus tell parables, you might think He didn’t want people to understand what He was saying! However, Jesus came to reveal things that had previously been either misunderstood or totally ignored by most of the human race, from Adam and Eve forward. He spoke in parables, knowing that His Spirit would enable those whom God had chosen to…
The Parables of Jesus There are TWO groups of people in this world: those who are disciples of Jesus Christ and part of His kingdom, and those who aren’t. As Jesus taught His disciples, and also spoke to large crowds, He was continually pointing out the conflict between HIS kingdom and the “kingdom of this world.” Since the time of mankind’s fall into sin in…
Stand Alone Sermon Memorial Day began shortly after the Civil War to remember those who had died. Through the years it has been a “marker” to remember all those who have fallen in war, and some even use the day to remember other loved ones who have died, and to honor their memory. Remembering is an important part of the life of…
Stand Alone Sermon When Jesus said, “I will build my CHURCH,” what was He talking about? What did the disciples think He was talking about? The Old Testament had already been translated into Greek and the word, “ekklesia,” was at times used to describe the assembly of Israel. Jesus was declaring that He was going to build a “called-out assembly” … a gathering of people…
Stand Alone Sermon Living as a Christian in the world today requires wisdom that can only be found in God’s Word, and the understanding that can only be received by the Holy Spirit. Those without the Spirit who reject the teaching and commands of God in His Word make self-centered, foolish, even harmful decisions because they are operating with limited knowledge and…
Stand Alone Sermon If you believe the human race is the product of some accidental, chance process occurring one step after another over millions of years, the existence of men and women, as well as the distinction between the two, may be a matter for discussion or debate. BUT, if you believe “God created man in His own image, in the image of…
Stand Alone Sermon You can’t live for Jesus without being empowered by the Spirit! It’s just not possible!! But what does it mean to “live by the Spirit”? How do you “get” the Holy Spirit and how do you learn to “use” the Spirit’s power? These may sound like questions without answers, and you may not realize how much you NEED the answers,…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed!” (John 20:29). Jesus’ words to Thomas echo through the centuries and warm the heart of every true believer. Thomas needed to SEE Jesus before he would believe that He was alive. Since Jesus ascended into heaven the Gospel has been proclaimed, calling people to believe what we…
