  • Part 7 - Matthew 10:5-8 - How To Defeat Your Dragon! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 6, 2010
    based on 27 ratings
     | 6,534 views

    Forgive me for the analogy but it seems to me that the world is into trying to TAME THE DRAGON too. Jesus, the Son of God, on the other hand, is into DEFEATING THE DRAGON.

    Part 7 - Matthew 10:5-8 - HOW TO DEFEAT YOUR DRAGON! We have been waiting for the movie called "HOW TO TAME YOUR DRAGON" to come out in the cinemas. It is a kids movie about Vikings and dragons. The amount of advertising saying that it was coming was phenomenal. Talk about good marketing! Their ...read more

  • Part 1 - Matthew 11:2-6 - Jesus-In-A-Box! Series

    based on 50 ratings
     | 7,645 views

    My grandchildren sometimes play with a Jack-in-a-box. Sometimes we want a JESUS-IN-A-BOX too. We want Him to fit into our pre-conceived ideas of who He should be and how He should act.

    Part 1 - Matthew 11:2-6 - JESUS-IN-A-BOX! I get the privilege and opportunity to speak to many old people in the course of my day. Being a chaplain and Pastor in an aged care facility (fancy name for old people’s nursing home) I am fascinated by the amazing lives that they have led. Last week I ...read more

  • Part 2 – Matthew 11:7-10 – Wrestles With Crocodiles! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 1, 2010
    based on 19 ratings
     | 4,905 views

    While Kevin Costner starred in a movie called DANCES WITH WOLVES, Steve Irwin was wrestling with crocodiles in real life. I’m sure WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES is his Indian name or at least needs to be. John the Baptist has his own crocodiles to wrestle.

    Part 2 – Matthew 11:7-10 – WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES! He was nicknamed “THE CROCODILE HUNTER”, and he was a unique man with a smile as wide as fun itself and Australian to the core. You couldn’t help but remember STEVE IRWIN! He and his wife Terri owned and operated ...read more

  • Part 5 - Matthew 11:13-14 - In A Previous Life I Was A Dolphin? Series

    How can John the Baptist be Elijah the prophet? Reincarnation? Malachi 4:5 (NLT) gives a prophecy about Elijah. It says "Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives."

    Part 5 - Matthew 11:13-14 - IN A PREVIOUS LIFE I WAS A DOLPHIN? I asked some friends what they thought about REINCARNATION last night and got some funny responses - should have known. One of them said "once, in a previous life, I was a dolphin... lol jk." Another one said "It’s weird to think you ...read more

  • Part 7 - Matthew 11:20-24 - Slow Cooked Or Char Grilled? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 18, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 13,127 views

    Some things in the Bible are just plain difficult to understand. Matthew 11:20-24 is one of them for me. I know, I don’t have to understand everything in God’s Word in order to believe it because I trust in God who knows what He is doing.

    Part 7 - Matthew 11:20-24 - SLOW COOKED OR CHAR GRILLED? Are there degrees of hell? I asked my friends recently this question and one of them said, "I believe Hell is a place where the presence of God and Jesus does not exist so it must be a horrible place. However, if there is any fairness to ...read more

  • Matthew 8:5-13 When My Belief And His Authority Collide Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 23, 2010
    based on 45 ratings
     | 35,254 views

    DOES THIS MEAN THAT I CAN BELIEVE FOR OTHERS TO BE HEALED even if they don't have the faith? It seems to say this to me. Does it to you? But even more importantly is who I have faith in - JESUS, WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO HEAL.

    Matthew 8:5-13 WHEN MY BELIEF AND HIS AUTHORITY COLLIDE! The first person that Jesus heals as recorded in Matthew was an outcast - a person with leprosy and Jesus told him to keep it a secret. The second person is someone of low social status - a servant. These are people who are the forgotten ...read more

  • Part 9 - Matthew 8:16-17 - On Demons, Clairvoyants, Horoscopes And Witchcra Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 2, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,091 views

    I have always thought that some CLAIRVOYANTS and some of those who prepare HOROSCOPES got their knowledge from demons. I have never been in doubt that WIGI BOARDS ARE DANGEROUS because they open people up to DEMONIC INFLUENCES.

    Part 9 - Matthew 8:16-17 - ON DEMONS, CLAIRVOYANTS, HOROSCOPES AND WITCHCRAFT I have always thought that some CLAIRVOYANTS and some of those who prepare HOROSCOPES got their knowledge from demons. I have never been in doubt that WIGI BOARDS ARE DANGEROUS because they open people up to DEMONIC ...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
     | 4,728 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.

    Discipleship, Equipped for Ministry, Teaching, Matthew 5, Leadership | report Matthew 5 - Part 1 - Woodstock without the drugs, sex and rock and roll? I was only 14 years old when Woodstock took place. I had just become a Christian that Christmas. What was Woodstock? It was a Rock music festival ...read more

  • Matthew 5 - Part 2 - What Do You Mean Bankruptsy Is Ok? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 20, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,633 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 9 - Ever Been Criticised And Abused For Being A Christian? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 29, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 4,400 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

  • Matthew 5 - Part 10 - Too Much Salt Is Bad For Your Health! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 30, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,815 views

    Too much salt is bad for you! Christians are like salt. The world can only take us in small doses. The Bible says it’s not that too much salt is bad for you but that salt mixed with too much dirt loses it’s flavour and is of no use.

    Matthew 5 - Part 10 - Too much salt is bad for your health! I use a saline solution for my contact lenses. It has the same salty consistency as my tears have. Without it I could not clean my lenses and putting them in would be difficult. I’m told that too much salt is bad for you. The Bible says ...read more

  • Matthew 5 - Part 11 - Quick, I Think I Need A Lawyer! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 31, 2009
    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,324 views

    When it comes to the law, I am not merely an in-law (one whose relationship with God is based on a set of rules and regulations) or an outlaw (one who wants to live outside the law). I need a lawyer!

    Matthew 5 - Part 11 - I think I need a lawyer? I once went to court on behalf of young mother with an intellectual disability. She was a difficult person and the Department of Children’s Services had decided, in their wisdom, to apply the letter of the law and take away her child. It was my task ...read more

  • Matthew 5 - Part 20 - You Think You’re So Perfect! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 10, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,734 views

    Jesus says "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). What is that supposed to mean? Like, that’s impossible, right?

    Matthew 5 - Part 19 - YOU THINK YOU’RE SO PERFECT! Jesus says "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). What is that supposed to mean? Like, that’s impossible, right? In fact there are a number of contradictions in this section of the Bible, until you ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Nov 16, 2010
    based on 64 ratings
     | 8,930 views

    Even when confronted they were abrasive and uncooperative, malevolent. It took some time to EVICT them, and there was always the danger that they would RETURN.

    Part 16 - Matthew 12:43-45 - PLAYING WHACK-A-DEMON! Many years ago I worked in an organisation called SCILS - Sunshine Coast Independent Living Skills. We worked with people who had mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. David (not his real name) was helped to find a place to rent in the ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Nov 21, 2010
    based on 67 ratings
     | 15,544 views

    I wonder if Jesus and His family celebrated His birthday. We will celebrate the BIRTH of Christ this Christmas as a family. He celebrates my NEW BIRTH (John 3:3) into His family. Luke 15:10 (NLT) says "...there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when

    Part 17 – Matthew 12:46-50 – JESUS CELEBRATES MY BIRTHDAY! My daughter, Rachel, is pregnant! Woo Hoo! Another little boy will soon be born into our family. What a gift!
