Untitled Sermon (2)

Our Faith in Jesus will Sustain Us

Don’t be a Demas. Demas was once a faithful follower of Jesus. He followed Paul and became a companion in many Missionary journeys. We know that he was a Gentile, as was Luke. We have reason to believe that he was close with Luke also.

Christian Standard Bible Philemon

23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings, and so do 24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my coworkers.

25 The grace of the Lord, Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 4

14 Luke, the dearly loved physician, and Demas send you greetings.

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 4

9 Make every effort to come to me soon, 10 because Demas has deserted me, since he loved this present world, and has gone to Thessalonica

Demas abandoned Paul after some time. The Bible says that Demas “Loved this Present World”.

Is your love for Jesus greater than your love for this present world?
