  • The Unfairness Of God

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jun 14, 2006
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,138 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. It was a seven-course meal. The governor rented a massive hall in which they would have the reception. The governor, ...read more

    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

  • Sunrise Sermon

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Apr 8, 2007
    based on 14 ratings
     | 22,317 views

    This was for an Easter sunrise service.

    Let’s start with some statistics. In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John there are 89 chapters. There are 4 chapters devoted to the first 30 years of Jesus’ life, and that only in Matthew and Luke. There are 28 chapters devoted to the last week of Jesus’ life (from Palm Sunday through ...read more

  • Responding With Thanks To God

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Nov 22, 2004
    based on 31 ratings
     | 6,195 views

    This is a Thanksgiving sermon.

    Sometimes Thanksgiving seems a bit perfunctory. Turkey, sweet potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and the like set on the table. Christmas is coming: trees, gifts, travel and cards. Thanksgiving often becomes a stop over on the way from Halloween and Christmas. Read ...read more

  • Jesus Brings Peace

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Nov 29, 2004
    based on 41 ratings
     | 15,019 views

    This is an Advent sermon.

    Advent is a time of preparation, not just for Christmas, but for the coming of Jesus. The celebration of Advent is more than a memory of Jesus’ birth. It is also a realization that he is coming again. There will be a Second Advent. Are you ready for Christmas? Are you ready for Jesus’ coming ...read more

  • A World Turned On Its Head

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Dec 6, 2004
    based on 21 ratings
     | 3,993 views

    This is an Advent sermon.

    Read Isaiah 11:1-10. Jesus turned the world upside down, or more appropriately, right side up. People never really understood Jesus. Paul said, “For those who live in Jerusalem…did not recognize him” (Acts 13:27). Everyone expected a military-political leader. Jesus closest disciples didn’t ...read more

  • True Christmas Joy

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Dec 13, 2004
    based on 31 ratings
     | 8,284 views

    This is an Advent sermon.

    Joy is a big word this time of year. In the song “How Great Our Joy,” we sing “Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!” seemingly over and over. We have “Joy to the World,” “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You,” “Good Christian Men, Rejoice.” We talk of spreading “Christmas joy.” Where does Christmas joy come ...read more

  • The Narnian Prophecies: Hope To Hold On Series

    Contributed by Wesley Hilliard on Dec 12, 2005
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,981 views

    This message gives an introduction to my series on The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and looks at four characters’ responses to prophecy.

    This message is the first of a series I plan to do on Narnia. It is short in order to provide time for communion which we celebrate on the first Sunday of the month. Our Worship Arts Pastor introduced the series on the first Sunday of Advent. He gave the background for The Lion, The Witch, and ...read more

  • Is God With Us?

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 1, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 7,238 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
     | 4,764 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
     | 2,494 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

  • Where Does Pride Get You

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 14, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 2,900 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

  • Worry Warts

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 31, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,446 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
     | 5,260 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
