Words From The Upper Room When someone tells you to “believe” them, it often indicates that you may have some reason to doubt that what they are saying is true. In our world today it often seems appropriate to have what some call a “healthy skepticism” about almost anything you are told. Social media has “fact checkers,” but who is checking them?…

“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”
Sermons by Steve Demers (Page 2)
Words From The Upper Room Everyone knows that life in this world has joys and sorrows, good times and hard times. While many people today seem to want a “happy Christianity,” where “positive thinking” turns troubles into triumphs and scars into stars, true disciples of Jesus know that picture is like a mirage in the desert … it doesn’t exist! Some may…
Words From The Upper Room It may seem easy for you and others to “believe in Jesus,” but what does that even mean?!! John began his gospel by saying, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God!” (John 1:1). But who is this “Word,” and what does any of this have to do…
Stand Alone Sermon There is something about turning the calendar to a new year that makes it seem that almost anything is possible, which is why many people begin the year by making resolutions. The problem, however, with the resolutions most people make, is that they rely on merely human “will-power” to accomplish them, and so they eventually end up where Paul…
Stand Alone Sermon “Keep your eyes on the prize!” People who want to encourage people to focus, to keep on working, to persevere through trials and to do whatever it takes to reach their goal often use these words. In fact, the Apostle Paul said something very similar in Philippians 3:14: “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the…
Advent Series While many people talk about “loving others,” few understand that true LOVE can be received and expressed only by those who know the love of GOD, our Creator, through His Son Jesus Christ. It is only when the very Spirit of Christ dwells within you that selfless love becomes your desire, and you become willing and able to love God…
Advent Series “Joy to the world!” We sing the song and the words flow off our tongues as we raise our thoughts toward heaven … yet the joy we sing of seems at times, perhaps even often, to be beyond our reach. We live in a world deeply affected by sin, our own and that of others. Joy comes from a heart…
Advent Series “Peace on earth, goodwill toward men” has been repeated so many times during the Christmas season that the words have lost whatever meaning they may have had. PEACE continues to be an elusive dream as nations go to war, politicians disagree, families disintegrate and the majority of the human race rejects the only true peace that can be experienced in…
Advent Series One of the most powerful and comforting passages about “hope” in all of God’s Word is I Peter 1:3-9. It begins with these words: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, He has caused US to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the…
‘Living As GOD’s People While We Watch and Wait for Jesus’ Return People today communicate on “social media” in brief words or sentences. Perhaps that is why there is so much miscommunication. How do you share your heart and what is really on your mind in a “tweet”? Then you have those who are called “social influencers,” who spew their warped views…
