    How To Fight Back

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 4, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 4,914 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
     | 2,610 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
     | 2,507 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
     | 3,086 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
     | 2,727 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
     | 3,556 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
     | 5,419 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

    Passion Week Act I: Triumphing Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Feb 11, 2005
    based on 25 ratings
     | 6,537 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

    Passion Week Act Ii: Cleansing Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Feb 21, 2005
    based on 50 ratings
     | 9,520 views

    This is on the cleansing of the Temple.

    Last week recap: Palm Sunday and Triumphal Entry: donkey, crowds, cheering, etc. Mark places the temple cleansing on the next day, while in Matthew it appears to happen the same. It probably happened the next day. Read Matthew 21:12-17. This passage has often been misunderstood. At times ...read more

    Hope: Cave Secrets

    Contributed by John Bishop on Mar 25, 2009
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,823 views

    God does His best work in caves. When we get to the end of ourselves and have no where to look but up, then God can whisper to us in the cave, "I’m still here. I haven’t left you." When we realize He is all we want, we find out He is all we really need.

    We’re going to be in the Book of First Samuel; if you have a Bible you can turn there, and we’ll get there at some point. I think that, when you’re talking about hope; the biggest problem with hope is, when we are going thru trouble, we don’t know how to kind of deal with it right? So, check it ...read more

    What's Gratitude Got To Do With It?

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Aug 6, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,028 views

    This is on gratitude. We followed up with communion. The asterisks in the text were related to click through PowerPoint slides.

    There were many things you didn’t want to be in Jesus’ time two of them were a leper or a Samaritan. Brief synopsis of leprosy (not meant to gross you out): loss of feeling/nerve endings that cause sores. Samaritans were considered half-breeds. A funny thing happened when a Samaritan contracted ...read more

    Salt And Light

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Sep 29, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 16,535 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

    Where's The Love? Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Apr 18, 2004
    based on 21 ratings
     | 5,204 views

    This is the first of a seven part series: "Seven Letters to Seven Chruches" based on the letters to the seven churches in Revelation.

    Intro to the “Seven Letters to Seven Churches” series. Seven churches enduring difficult times: persecution. As we go through this the next 7 weeks, let’s ask ourselves, “Is this our church? What is similar? What can we learn?” I remember the “Where’s the beef?” Wendy’s commercials. It had ...read more

    Comfort For Difficult Times Series

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Apr 25, 2004
    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,696 views

    This is on the Letter to Smyrna.

    This is the only mention in the Bible about the Church of Smyrna. Smyrna was very close to Ephesus, which we looked at last week. Paul likely started the church while he was in Ephesus for three years. Acts 19:10 says, “This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the ...read more

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on May 1, 2004
    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,127 views

    This about the letter to the Church in Pergamum.

    We hear a lot in our day about pressure. We have pressure here. We have pressure there. Pressure, pressure, everywhere pressure. We talk about pressure with the weather. One thing I have noticed is that when we have low pressure, we get hurricanes. High pressure brings a clear, sunny ...read more
