Part 3 - Matthew 12:9-14 -Deformities Of The Heart And Hand Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Sep 19, 2010

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. The thorns were now like razor sharp nails and so it was difficult to get to the roots without punctures, scratches and a ...read more

Part 9 - Matthew 10:5-13 - Music To Raise The Dead! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 10, 2010

When Jesus gives His disciples the authority to "Heal the sick, raise the dead," in Matthew 10:8 I'm not sure that playing loud music is what He had in mind. But the "wailing out the truth" part certainly was.

Part 9 - Matthew 10:5-13 - MUSIC TO RAISE THE DEAD! "MUSIC TO RAISE THE DEAD", an album from a Christian Rock group called Resurrection startled the Christian world with it's intensity in the 1970's. They did this in a day when many conservative pastors and evangelists actively thundered their ...read more

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 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

Part 4 - Matthew 11:12 - Well He Started It! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 5, 2010

"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

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 20, 2010

Perhaps the reason that I embraced Christianity so easily was that the Christian faith doesn’t demand intelligence. Now don’t be so unkind...

Part 8 - Matthew 11:25-30 - WITHOUT THE ENCUMBRANCE OF GENIUS Perhaps it is the reason that I embraced Christianity so easily was that the Christian faith doesn’t demand intelligence.

In this message you will learn how to fight sin in a way that is not burdensome, so that the Christian life is a life of doing what you want, rather than a life of resisting what you want.

Matthew 5:27-30 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.

Habits Of Pruning, Part 2: Fasting (Matthew 6:16-18) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Feb 13, 2021
