Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 14, 2010

I work in a building called THE SHALOM CENTRE in Sydney. Recently Kathryn, a Jewish girl said she found it unusual that we would call a building Shalom, since it is a Jewish term for saying HI AND GOODBYE.

Part 12 - Matthew 10:11-15 - They Can Go To Hell? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 15, 2010

I have heard the terms "GO TO HELL" and "SEE YOU IN HELL" used all too casually over the years. Hell, as described in the Bible, is not something you would wish on even your worst enemies.

Part 12 - Matthew 10:11-15 - THEY CAN GO TO HELL? I was speaking to someone about New Zealand a couple of days ago and how when we went there we had explored the colourful natural volcanic areas of Rotorua - bubbling mud, steaming ground and geysers, huge volcanic craters and weird and wonderful ...read more

Part 13 - Matthew 10:16-23 - Wise As Serpents Or Just Spitting Venom? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 17, 2010

I have to admit I felt annoyed at what I thought was his ignorance and arrogance when he spoke about the Church we attend. I feel that way when any Bible based Church is denigrated or dismissed.

Part 13 - Matthew 10:16 - WISE AS SERPENTS OR JUST SPITTING VENOM? I was talking to a friend on Friday about our Church. He said he didn’t like our way of doing Church. I asked him what he meant and he said that he could not see how a Church could have a band out the front and what appeared to him ...read more

Part 15 - Matthew 10:16-18 - Gospel Terrorists! Incoming Truth Grenades! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 20, 2010

Matthew 10 records how the disciples become GOSPEL TERRORISTS, terrorists of a very different kind who are going to fire some LOADED TRUTH GRENADES right in the middle of the nation of Israel, not to destroy but to save.

Part 15 - Matthew 10:16-18 - GOSPEL TERRORISTS! TRUTH GRENADES! Last night on the news I heard a report from Afghanistan - how the religious terrorist group called the Taliban killed many people with a suicide bomb. It is a common occurrence to see such news reports and deeply disturbing. A ...read more

Part 14 - Matthew 10:18-19 - Grasshopper, Expect The Unexpected! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 21, 2010

I remember as a kid watching the TV series called "KUNG FU" staring David Caradine. The blind Master Po (Keye Luke) calls his young student "GRASSHOPPER" to "EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED". We are not grasshoppers but we are called to BEWARE.

Part 14 - Matthew 10:18-19 - GRASSHOPPER, EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! A friend of mine works as a boilermaker in Bowen, Queensland Australia. He is a big man with muscles like an Olympic weight lifter, a voice that booms and a laugh that is full and infectious. PATRICK PATTERSON loves the Lord and if ...read more

Wise As Serpents

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Apr 30, 2012

Jesus challenged us to be as wise as serpents. In this message we will learn from the attacks on the Jews in the book of Nehemiah, and use it as inspiration to aggressively go after the lost.

Wise as Serpents In our messages so far in the book of Nehemiah we have been talking about the building of walls to keep the enemy out. Today we are going to switch places with the enemy and talk about how to take down walls or overcome them. I think we can learn some things from the enemy of our ...read more

Risk Takers Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Feb 19, 2012

when we embrace the mission of Jesus, we make a commitment to hazardous work. And yet one of the things we see in the church today is that following Jesus has become something far less than that. It’s more about comfort than danger and belief rather than

Risk Takers Matthew 10:16-22, The Message Elizabeth Elliott wrote a book called, Through Gates of Splendor.

Hedges Of Protection

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jun 27, 2017

Was Satan telling the truth or lying when he accused God of surrounding Job with a protective hedge? If Job had one, do we? What is it? What kind of protection does it give, in view of illness. accidents, temptation, enemies, and loss that befall us?

Context And The Message Bible

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jun 28, 2017

Sometimes we come across a verse of scripture that is difficult to understand. We need to know and understand the context of that verse and sometimes the meaning is found by using different versions of the Bible - in this case the Message Bible.

A former archbishop of Canterbury arrived in New York. A journalist asked him, “Will you be visiting any of our nightclubs whilst you are here?” The archbishop mischievously replied, “Are there any night clubs here?” Next day a newspaper headline read: “Archbishop’s first question on arriving ...read more
