    The Unfairness Of God

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jun 14, 2006
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,205 views

    This is on the parable of the workers in the vineyard that were all paid the same.

    I want to tell you a story… There is a small rural farming community not far from here. It is not a wealthy place. In fact, it’s a very poor place. There are a lot of immigrants—legal and illegal—there. Jobs are scarce. The only work most of these immigrants can get is backbreaking work in ...read more

    This is about the parable of the guys fighting over the good seats.

    Let me tell you a story… The governor’s daughter was getting married. The governor had planned an elaborate wedding and reception. The reception was more than cake and punch.

    Parable of the Lost Coin

    Have you ever lost your keys? What did you feel? Desperation? Panic? Fear? Stress? What did you do? If you’re like me, you probably tore the whole house apart. You may have stopped to think about the last place you laid them or saw them. You could interrogate the kids: “What have you done ...read more

    What's Gratitude Got To Do With It?

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Aug 6, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,852 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

     | 14,980 views

    This is about making excuses.

    Have you ever noticed that everyone has an excuse? Take this story for example. Nine GI’s were late for morning roll call. The first didn’t arrive until 7 PM. The Commanding Officer confronted him and yelled, “Where have you been, soldier?” The soldier explained. He said, “Sir, I had a date ...read more

    based on 16 ratings
     | 14,965 views

    This is about a little known Bible character.

    Hello, my name really isn’t all that important. I’m one of the little known characters in the Bible. I appear and disappear in a matter of a few verses. I had an incredible encounter with one of the giant men of Bible history. His name was Elijah. He was a prophet from Israel. I’m sure ...read more

    What Is All This Talk About Being Born Again?

    Contributed by Neal Bishop on Jan 13, 2005
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,371 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
     | 2,963 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
     | 2,630 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
     | 3,484 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
     | 5,303 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

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 1, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 7,281 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
     | 4,815 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
