    Neither Wimps Nor Wolves

    Christian meekness is not weakness; it is strength tempered by obedience.

    Do any of you remember the old musical Camelot, about King Arthur and the Round Table? It was popular back in the early 60's, it’s one of the reasons the Kennedy White House started being called Camelot. The reason I bring it up is because of Lancelot. Remember Lancelot? Until he and ...read more

    A Healthy Appetite

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 9, 2011
     | 4,160 views

    The proper response to mourning over the reality of suffering, and the key to meekness, is not conquering desire, but learning to desire the right things.

    How many of you are planning to watch the Super Bowl this evening? Now for the real test - everyone who’s rooting for the Giants, please raise your hands. Okay, hands down. Now, who’s for the Ravens? Who doesn’t much care one way or another? By the end of the day, half of ...read more

    Unstrained Mercy

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 9, 2011
     | 3,147 views

    Unstrained mercy needs to be constrained by the same constraints that God himself recognizes: by wisdom, by justice, by the long-term, eternal good of the person you are trying to help.

    We’ve seen a lot about pardons in the news lately, haven’t we. Why did former President Clinton pardon Marc Rich? The “fugitive financier” is the nicely alliterative phrase that all the commentators use - I bet the journalist who coined the phrase is wishing he - or she - ...read more

    Our ability to see clearly is dependent on the condition of our hearts, which are made and kept pure through Scripture, worship and prayer.

    How many of you wear glasses? I’ve worn mine since I was seven years old. I was able to wear contact lenses for about 20 years but after about 40 they don’t work so well. And even contacts with the new technology, entails juggling with reading glasses, since I have to wear bifocals. ...read more

    The Misunderstood Meek Series

    Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Jun 16, 2011
     | 6,669 views

    Most people think that meek is a person who is a pushover, a person who other people can force their will upon them. They see someone who is meek as spineless and maybe even a coward. This sermon examines what it really means to be meek.

    Today we continue on in our series on the Beatitudes. Last week we looked at the attitude “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.” We talked about the fact that it is good to mourn our own sin and shortcomings in our life. When we have sinned or have sin in our ...read more

    The Beatitudes are the declaration of God's blessing in our lives

    “Be” – Matthew 5:1-12 Confess that I am intimidated to preach about the beatitudes, because it does feel a bit like climbing a mountain, and I know how out of shape I am. Where do you start? How will we make the journey? These simple words are profound in their depth and their ...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
     | 4,815 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?

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

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 20, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,759 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
     | 5,058 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?

    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.

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,607 views

    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!

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,533 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
     | 7,699 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

    Matthew 5 - Part 8 - All I Want Is A Little Peace! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,712 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
