    We Are Blessed

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 31, 2011
    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,677 views

    The beatitudes: 1. Are often misinterpreted. 2. Help us to be like God. 3. Are not promises for the present, but guarantees of our future.

    We Are Blessed Matthew 5:1-12 Blessed are those who have gone through a divorce. Blessed are those who cannot pay their bills and may be facing bankruptcy. Blessed are those who have just heard that they have a terminal illness. Blessed are you when you have been fired from your job. ...read more

    Happy Is the Person 1) Who is sad and hungry 2) Who is meek and merciful 3) Who suffers for Jesus' sake

    Last fall the British government announced its intent to create a “happiness index” to gauge just how cheerful its citizens are. The plan has since been scrapped, as one British politician explained, “You cannot capture happiness on a spreadsheet any more than you can bottle ...read more

    Be Poor In Spirit Series

     | 7,454 views

    Being poor in spirit has absolutely nothing to do with depression or finances. This sermon gives a description of the poor in spirit that Jesus calls us to.

    The teacher in a Bible class asked a woman to read from the Book of Numbers about the Israelites wandering in the desert. "The Lord heard you when you wailed, 'If only we had meat to eat!' " she began. "Now the Lord will give you meat. You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, or ...read more

    Make Me An Instrument Of Your Peace Series

    Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Saint Francis was a man of God and a man of peace. His life is a wonderful example for us all.

    “Lord, use me as an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow your love; Where there is injury pardon; Where there is doubt keep strong my faith; When in my life I face despair O Lord, my faith but comes from hope, in sadness there is joy found in You” This beautiful ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Part 1 - Woodstock Without The Drugs, Sex And Rock And Roll? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 18, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,710 views

    What was "Woodstock"? It was a Rock music festival that took place in America in 1969. It was characterized by drugs, sex and rock music. When Jesus drew a crowd, he didn’t have to rely on those things. Large crowds followed Him everywhere He went.

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 20, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,614 views

    Who are the "poor in spirit"? Are they rich people with a poverty mentality? Are they poor people who are discouraged? Are they people who don’t have the strength of mind to make it in the world and Jesus wants to take them out?

    Matthew 5 - Part 2 - So all of a sudden Bankruptsy is OK? When we lived in the Ukraine for a month, we witnessed incredible poverty. The beautifully ornate Churches over there have domes which are actually covered in gold leaf, but under them are the beggars. Such a contrast. I noticed at one ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Part 3 - Good Grief! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 21, 2009
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,945 views

    A book I read once was called "Good Grief" and it said that something good can come from losing a loved one. Jesus said to His disciples on the mountain,"Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted". Why did Jesus teach this to His Disciples?

    22/12/09 Pastorross | public entry | tags: , Good grief, Mourning, Repentance, Matthew 5, Sin | report Matthew 5 - Part 3 - Good Grief!

    The only thing about Christmas that bothers me is that people see Jesus as a baby, meek and mild but they don’t see Him for all that He really is.

    Now we have a real problem here. We are told to hunger for Righteousness but this seems to contradict other scriptures that says that this kind of lifestyle is impossible for us to live.

    24/12/09 Pastorross | public entry | tags: Righteousness, Hunger and thirst for God, Matthew 5 | report Matthew 5 - Part 5 - Are you hungry enough to do something about it!

     | 5,407 views

    So, do I have to go to the heart of Africa or some other war ravaged, AIDS ridden, refugee overrun, starving hordes kind of country before I can show mercy? I hope not! Is that unmerciful? What does being merciful really mean?

    26/12/09 Pastorross | public entry | tags: identifying with others, Mercy, Compassion, Matthew 5 | report Matthew 5 - Oh God, please don’t send me to Africa!

    Matthew 5 - Take A Bath! You Smell Like A Hypocrite! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 27, 2009
    based on 15 ratings
     | 7,525 views

    Take a bath! You smell like a hypocrite! Better to live like the unbeliever you are than to act like a Christian on Sundays. Because at least you won’t be deceiving yourself. Take the Purity in heart test from Matthew 5 and examine your motives!

    Matthew 5 - Take a bath! You smell like a hypocrite! I don’t know about you but I don’t like the term "pure in heart". It seems like woose talk or I think of someone with an intellectual disability or so totally naïve they don’t see bad things happening all around them. Maybe even children, up to ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,566 views

    Let’s get it right. A peacemaker is the person who has and encourages in others "peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us." (Romans 5:1). Jesus said "the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give" (John 14:27).

    Matthew 5 - Part 8 - Kill the Peacemakers - Make war not Love! "BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS - for they shall be called sons of God." You may say "Well that’s nonsense. All you have to do is see all the so-called Christians who have been involved in bloody conflict in history, all done in the Name ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Part 9 - Ever Been Criticised And Abused For Being A Christian? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 29, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 4,384 views

    Unfortunately for many Christians, compromise is easier than being criticised and no-one would ever know that they are Christians, or if they do know, they are disappointed by the kind of example that is given.

    Matthew 5 - Part 8 - Have you ever been criticised and abused for being a Christian? One of my jobs some years ago was working with disabled people. I remember working with a young Christian woman and my job was teaching her how to read. She would readily share her faith to others and I enjoyed ...read more
