Jesus reserved some of his strongest words for the hypocritical
Pharisees.
What's a hypocrite? Well, the root words actually mean "stage actor"!
Isn't that exactly what a hypocrite does? Talks one way, but *acts*
another...
Is there hypocrisy in your life? Check out this lesson and check your
heart.

Oppressed, But Not Destroyed (2 Kings 8)
You've probably never thought you could learn lessons
from the Aramean king - Hazael.
The Aramean's had control over Israel while they struggled
with their sin of idolatry.
This lesson was a Sunday Sermon at the Hampton Roads Church
and draws out lessons we can learn from Hazael's reign, and
Israel's sin.

Cirque de China & Fishin' in Gatlinburg...
There's a show in Gatlinburg called Cirque de China. They said it's straight off the Vegas Strip! Of course, I couldn't video tape inside the show...so here's what went on before and after (just as entertaining!)
I've always planned on taking the kids fishing. Fortunately, our resort hosted a free kids fishing trip.
They really liked it.
Did we catch anything? Watch the video and see...
Are You Right, Or Righteous? (Acts 21)
You know, in America we work very hard to defend our "rights".
I'm amazed at times I've watched judge shows (Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, etc.) and seen 2 people fly across the country to be on national television over a $150 cell phone bill.
What a shame.
And you know what they always say? "It's not the money, it's the principle..."
I believe God would call this ultra-defense of individuality and "rights" not the principle, but the pride!
Tonight's lesson will challenge you to think about whether you strive for America's values of being right, or God's values of being righteous.
BUT, if I were you I'd read up on the Nazirite vow in Numbers 6 first. That will really help you to understand Paul's humility and his pursuit of righteousness over being right.

Do You Think Like A Pagan? (2 Kings 3)
The pagan cultures in the ancient world (Ammonites, Moabites, Canaanites, etc.) thought the "gods" were against them whenever anything went wrong.

But don't be too quick to judge...do YOU think this way as well? Listen to this lesson to find out and see how God wants us to think.

Is Your Calculator Clear? (Acts 17)
Huh?...the Apostle Paul was on top of his game mentally.
He got kicked out of city after city while preaching the gospel.
How did he do it? How did he stay focused on the mission
despite tremendous adversity?
More importantly, how can WE stay focused on God's will despite
adversity? The answer is in this lesson and has something
to do with a simple calculator...
