    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 5, 2010
    based on 30 ratings
     | 6,367 views

    "Well he started it!" "No I didn't, she did!" Sorry, I am just reminded of my childhood days when the arguments got too heated with my sister. But this is a slightly bigger battle. John started it and the repercussions of his actions have been ongoing.

    Part 4 - Matthew 11:12 - WELL HE STARTED IT! Since I had nothing better to do and everyone had gone out, I decided to watch the war movie "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN". It was some years ago now and I was at my daughter's house and Joel, my son-in-law had just connected his TV WITH SURROUND SOUND. The ...read more

    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.

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

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 28, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,569 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

    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,613 views

    Most action movies have some aspect of revenge in their storyline. When the bad guy finally gets killed, I agree with the hero as he says, “The guy was a jerk and deserved everything he got!” Am I the only one? Jesus challenges my thinking!

    Matthew 5 – Part 19 – “BUT THE GUY IS A JERK AND DESERVES IT!” Most action movies I have seen have some aspect of revenge in their storyline. And I must admit it, when the bad guy finally gets killed, I am there saying on the inside “The guy was a jerk and deserved everything he got!” Am I the ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,190 views

    I seek to serve His purposes no matter what and He will supply for me. Now that takes faith, for me at least. I have to gulp and leap into the unknown.

    Matthew 6 – Part 10 – GULPING AND LEAPING INTO THE UNKNOWN? Last time I mentioned that I don’t have any paid employment at present. Moving to Sydney has been a step of faith. We have limited resources for the future. Our possessions fit into a garage. I am excited about what God ...read more

    based on 26 ratings
     | 9,754 views

    The CLAWED FINGERS of their law system were DISTORTED AND MALFORMED and particularly difficult to uproot. It is not at all surprising that Jesus uses a man with a DEFORMED HAND to illustrate what needed to be done if ever they were to be healed of their D

    Part 3 - Matthew 12:9-14 -DEFORMITIES OF THE HEART AND HAND Yesterday, with the encouragement of my wife, I got rid of some THORNY WEEDS growing like trees in the back garden.

    If my heart writes the music of my life then my WORDS are the LYRICS OF THE SOUL. I can tell from the lyrics what is in your heart. Open your mouth and I can hear what kind of song is in your heart.

    Part 10 - Matthew 12:22-37 - THE MUSIC OF MY SOUL "Where’s my..." "On the kitchen bench" "...keys". "What happened to my..." "It’s in the washing machine. You wore it yesterday."

    Jack, a friend of mine, is unable to walk. When I spoke to him about God, he said "If God was real He wouldn’t leave me like this. I don’t deserve this. Where’s the proof that God exists?"

    Part 12 - Matthew 12:22-42 - THE CANVAS OF MY HEART Yesterday I was reading about a man called Han van Meegeren who was a Dutch artist and an extremely talented ART FORGER. He forged some of the world’s most famous paintings so well that the best art critics and art experts of his time thought ...read more

    He doesn't mess around with their bad attitudes or get DISTRACTED from the essentials. He leads them to the GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.

    Part 14 - Matthew 12:38-41 - THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL!

    Yes, I hate to tell you but He loves me the best. Well actually He loves and cares for everyone who comes to Him and all of a sudden you will realise that you are His favourite. I am not just a number in the system.

    Matthew 8:5-7 JESUS HAS NO FAVOURITES, EXCEPT ME! I'm now just another number in the system of "New Start".

    God takes a curse and turns it into a blessing. The prophecy a virgin would bring forth a son expressed God's displeasure with Ahab, yet God took that warning to Ahab and used it as a blessing to us. God, even today, turns our curses to blessings.

    The church exists and why God doesn’t beam us up upon salvation but leaves us here on earth.

    Read Matthew 28:19-20 – Do you know what this is? This is one of the final statements Jesus made to His followers before His ascension back to the Father.

    To MAKE a disciple begins w/ connecting someone to Christ through salvation and then connecting them to His church for ministry care and concern.

    Over the last few weeks I’ve been sharing w/ you my heart as it pertains to God’s call on our lives to make disciples of all nations. And if you remember, a disciple is more than a convert, but a person who’s been saved and is now in the process of becoming just like Jesus. In Matthew 28:19-20 – ...read more
