  • God Encounters: Nathanael Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Aug 8, 2004
    based on 56 ratings
     | 8,072 views

    This is about Nathanael’s encounter with Jesus.

    Jesus is beginning his ministry. John the Baptist had baptized him. He has just called Andrew and Peter. He had been a carpenter. Read John 1:43-51. I. Proposal. Jesus makes a proposal to Philip: “Follow me.” He was from the same town as Andrew and Peter. It was a simple and direct proposal. ...read more

  • God Encounters: The Samaritan Woman Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Aug 13, 2004
    based on 47 ratings
     | 15,877 views

    This is about Jesus and woman at the well.

    This is a rich passage. I could spend a couple months preaching from this passage. Give background of animosity between Jews and Samaritans. Women were marginalized. Read John 4:1-42. What does it mean that Jesus had to go through Samaria? Was it divine or geographically necessary? ...read more

  • God Encounters: Zacchaeus Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Aug 21, 2004
    based on 34 ratings
     | 8,645 views

    This is about Zacchaeus’ encounter with Jesus.

    Sing “Zacchaeus was a Wee Little Man.” Share recollections of Zach from Sunday school: short, tree, etc. Read Luke 19:1-10. Who was Zacchaeus? What happened to Zacchaeus? Who was Zacchaeus? The only biographical info is right here: “a tax collector and rich.” * He was DESPISED. To say that ...read more

  • God Encounters: The Thief On The Cross Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Aug 30, 2004
    based on 38 ratings
     | 15,945 views

    This is about Jesus’ encounter with the criminal next to him.

    Read Luke 23:39-43 using Lectio Divina method. Can you see it? Can you visualize the scene? Can you see the blood and the agony? Can you hear the mockers? Experience the moment. There are some things we can take away from this.  REVILING the REDEEMER This reflects the words of Isaiah ...read more

  • God Encounters: On The Road To Emmaus Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Sep 7, 2004
    based on 38 ratings
     | 7,379 views

    This is about Jesus’ walk with the two on the Road to Emmaus.

    We don’t always get all the facts right away when something momentous happens. The day of 9/11 was filled with confusion and speculation. More confusing the closer to NYC and WTC. Recap Passion Week: triumphal entry, Last Supper, prayer, arrest, trial, execution, and burial. Now there were ...read more

  • Is God With Us?

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 1, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 7,438 views

    This is a Christmas sermon.

    What is Christmas all about? In the classic Charlie Brown Christmas special, C. Brown cries out, “Will someone tell me what Christmas is all about?” Christmas is commercial. Read Isaiah 7:10-16. This passage tells what Christmas is really about: “God with us,” that is what Immanuel means. 1. ...read more

  • How To Fight Back

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 4, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 4,866 views

    This is about revenge.

    The Sermon on the Mount contains many tough sayings. He said that adultery was more than just an act; it was a thought. He said that someone who was angry was also a murderer. Isaiah talked about a world turned upside down. Now Jesus is doing just that. Read Matthew 5:38-42. This is a hard ...read more

  • Who Can I Hate?

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 7, 2005
    based on 19 ratings
     | 2,587 views

    This is about loving our enemies.

    Read Matthew 5:43-48. This is yet another hard saying of the Sermon on the Mount. This goes beyond the revenge we looked at last week. Jesus said that we shouldn’t seek revenge. Okay, fine. I’d love to take revenge, but I won’t. Now he says that I have to love them. Isn’t it enough that I ...read more

  • What Is All This Talk About Being Born Again?

    Contributed by Neal Bishop on Jan 13, 2005
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,470 views

    A small and simple explanation of what being born again is all about.

    There are a number of belief systems in the world today, and naturally, they all claim to be “The Truth.” So, if we define truth as being relative to things that change, then what is presented by any belief system has to be equal, in validity, to anything else presented. This would be so because ...read more

  • Where Does Pride Get You

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 14, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 3,066 views

    This is about the dangers of spiritual pride.

    There was a man who received a medal for his unusual humility. It was taken away when he wore everywhere. Read Matthew 6:16-18. The words “pride” and “proud” occur over 80 times in the Bible. Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” In the ...read more

  • Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 24, 2005
    based on 21 ratings
     | 2,704 views

    This is about where to save our treasure.

    Regis is famous for asking, “Who wants to be a millionaire?” The better question is “Who doesn’t want to be a millionaire?” Perhaps the only ones are the billionaires. We all think about it. Many preachers talk about a prosperity gospel. “Follow God and get rich” is their mantra. Usually it ...read more

  • Worry Warts

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 31, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,536 views

    This is about worry.

    What do you worry about? The future? Money? School? Work? What you’re going to eat or wear? Sometimes we get caught in a spiral of worry. Worry has a way of compounding itself. Read Matthew 6:25-34. Worry can rob us of joy in life. When we worry about tomorrow or yesterday, we compound ...read more

  • What Do We Need?

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Feb 7, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,389 views

    This is on the Transfiguration.

    What are our greatest needs? Food? Clothing? Shelter? Those things certainly are important, but is there a greater need? Set the stage: in Matthew 16, Peter confesses Jesus as the Christ. Jesus then went on to tell his disciples that he would soon be rejected and put to death. Jesus then ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 6,513 views

    This is on the Triumphal Entry.

    Intro to Passion Week series. It is the most important week in history. All Gospels climax at this point. Matthew – 8 chs. Mark – 6 chs. Luke – 5½ chs. John – 9½ chs. 29 chs in all. Compare that with 4 on the first 30 years of Jesus’ life including his birth. Read Matthew 21:1-11. This ...read more

  • Salt And Light

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Sep 29, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 16,481 views

    This is about being salt and light in our world.

    How would you change the world? How would you change your world, the one in which you live? Who is going to make the change? How are changes made in our world? Who makes changes? What is our role as a church in changing our world? Or, do we even have a role? Read Matthew 5:13-16. 1) Salt What ...read more
