    When you pray keep it sincere, secret, simple, and structured.

    WHEN YOU PRAY Once upon a time there was a man who loved hunting. He wasn’t a Christian, in fact he would usually go hunting on Sunday mornings while everyone else was in church. One day he was hunting for bears. As he trudged through the forest he came upon a large and steep hill. He climbed the ...read more

    We must beleive God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

    I look at asking, seeking, and knocking, that is, the start and the finish of faith to receiving from God; much like the great rockets of the old NASA space programs like that of the Mercury and Apollo missions.

    A.S.K. Text: Matthew 7:7 Remember: The devil doesn’t appose: -what you want to do… -what you’d like to do… -But, what you are called (by God) to do. The struggle is a wrestling match between: -the vision given and the vision fulfilled… -the promise and the ...read more

    Time: Use It While You've Got It

    Contributed by Johnny Knight on Jan 28, 2010
     | 2,570 views

    Is there a relationship in your life that needs some attention? Jesus says to get to that first.

    Time: Use It While You've Got It! Text: Matthew 5:23 Some men have the genetic problem of hair loss. Basically, having a hard time holding onto their hair. Some have suggested that the hair is merely being pushed out by the rapidly expanding intelligence and that sounds very scientifically ...read more

    Matthew 6 – Part 1 – Forget The Rewards, I’ll Do It For Free! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 29, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,161 views

    REWARDS IN HEAVEN. Somehow that seems wrong to me. Surely heaven is enough reward and besides, if all sin is regarded as the same and deserving of hell, how can good deeds then be rated on a scale, and rewarded accordingly?

    Matthew 6 – Part 1 – FORGET THE REWARDS, I’LL DO IT FOR FREE! Everywhere I look people offer me rewards if I buy this or shop at their store, or buy petrol at certain petrol stations. I am rewarded on my credit card if I buy a certain amount using their card. People at the Super ...read more

    Matthew 6 – Part 2 - Why Pray If God Already Knows My Needs? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 31, 2010
    based on 17 ratings
     | 20,986 views

    God chooses to answer me not because I have needs, but because I bring those needs to Him rather than try to meet them in my own strength. And He is not all that keen on repetition.

    Matthew 6 – Part 3 - WHY PRAY IF GOD ALREADY KNOWS MY NEEDS? So what is the use of praying if God already knows what I need? Matthew 6:7 and 8 says “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again ...read more

    Benevolence According To Jesus

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 31, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,831 views

    In the eyes of the Master our motive for practising benevolence is extremely important.

    “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that ...read more

    With the recent earthquake in Haiti, there has been a world wide outpouring of assistance.

    Matthew 6 – Part 3 – Time On My Knees Can Be So Painful! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 1, 2010
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,785 views

    The Doctor asked me “What do you do for a living?” I said I was a Pastor and so I didn’t spend much time on my knees. She laughed and I wondered why, until I realised that this explanation sounded as if I was a backsliding Pastor.

    Matthew 6 – Part 3 – TIME ON MY KNEES CAN BE SO PAINFUL! The last 3 days have been painful. Literally painful! I was playing with my grandson and crawling, on my knees, through tunnels that we made out of the cushions on the lounge – our secret castle to hide in (I know, ...read more

    Jesus names the most distinguishable characteristic of a Mathew Seven-Seven person in this final sermon of this series.

    Matthew 6 – Part 4 – I Can Never Forgive You! Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,688 views

    This seems like such a weak way to do things. Men like to just fight and then it’s done with. What is this forgiveness thing all about.

    Matthew 6 – Part 4 – I CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU! I did something terribly wrong to a lady once by speaking against her and influencing my client (her son) to go against her. I was wrong and eventually my sin caught up with me. I knew I would have to apologise and so I went to her ...read more

    Matthew 6 - Part 5 – A Diet That Really Works! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 3, 2010
    based on 17 ratings
     | 5,620 views

    Jesus talks about God giving us our daily bread but then fasting. He also says we "do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” I know this to be true. When I have fasted it has helped me to hear from God.

    Matthew 6 - Part 5 – A DIET THAT REALLY WORKS! I bought some new bathroom scales recently, but I don’t like them. They tell you about your body fat ratio, and a number of other things, to help you determine not only what weight you are but how fit and healthy you are. They told me that I have ...read more

    Matthew 6 – Part 6 - So Are You Saying God Wants Me To Be Poor? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 4, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,197 views

    Now here’s a passage that many Christians use to say that we ought to live in poverty and give away everything we own to the poor. Or the watered down version says that we should never be rich, only just earn enough money to live.

    Matthew 6 – Part 6 - SO ARE YOU SAYING GOD WANTS ME TO BE POOR? I’ve never had all that much money in my life. Still don’t. But I’ve never lived in poverty either. I remember being down to I think $10 in our account. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be rich, but mostly all I want is to ...read more

    Article 23: Lawful Oaths And Vows. Series

    Contributed by Aubrey Vaughan on Feb 5, 2010
     | 5,834 views

    This sermon unpacks lawful oaths and vows and we see it implications upon our lives who we are meant to be and also shows the opportunity we have if we step out in boldness and honour God by taking it for His honour and glory.

    Article 22: Lawful Oaths and Vows. “Let Your Yes mean Yes and Your No mean No.” 1. Firstly what is a vow? A vow is a solemn and promise made to God. We see marriage couples on their wedding day making their vows to love and cherish one another these aren’t simply vows made to each over and the ...read more

    When we pray the Lord's Prayer is not only requests, but a recognition of our need to come closer to God and the closer we get the more we realize our need for God.

    Key Text: Matthew 6:9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Key Thought: Our Father God is a true Father figure that we can approach, trust and love. Point #1 – The reason Jesus gives the model prayer The background to the ...read more
