     | 3,140 views

    It has been said that the eye is the closest to soul and is the agent used to judge right from wrong. So if the eye & heart are in conflict, how can the body function properly.

Simply put, a picture of children in relationship to their father as they travel on this pilgrimage called life! * Chapter 6 broke ...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
     | 6,576 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 7 ratings
     | 12,788 views

    Too much salt is bad for you! Christians are like salt. The world can only take us in small doses. The Bible says it’s not that too much salt is bad for you but that salt mixed with too much dirt loses it’s flavour and is of no use.

    Matthew 5 - Part 10 - Too much salt is bad for your health! I use a saline solution for my contact lenses. It has the same salty consistency as my tears have. Without it I could not clean my lenses and putting them in would be difficult. I’m told that too much salt is bad for you. The Bible says ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,618 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.

    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

     | 7,378 views

    In a busy world, where do we put God in the priorities? This is the first in a series of "seeking first" & prioritizing our lives.

    The 3 R’s Matthew 6:33 Matthew started this verse with a conjunction (joins words or groups of words within a sentence)“but.” I believe it is inserted here and a central focus on how we can live what He gave to us on what is popularly known as “the sermon on the mount.” Sounds like a classroom ...read more

    The beatitudes, what are they all about? Why are these people blessed, to be poor in spirit brings blessing but why?

    The Beatitudes. Matthew 5:1-12 Interestingly enough when we think about beatitudes we often get this sought of thinking going on that these things, poorness of spirit, mourning, etc should be our attitudes. However the word beatitude comes from the Latin word for ‘blessed’, ...read more

    Jesus’ metaphors of salt and light reveal how His followers are to be positive influences in the world.

    You’ve probably all heard the old adage “No man is an island.” Since that was the thought that first came to mind as I read the passage that we’ll look at this morning, this week I did some research to find out where that saying originated. It comes from Meditation XVII ...read more

    When Jesus says:"You are the salt of the earth." Jesus is saying "Be Authentic." Be the Real Deal! Beloved, an inconsistent lifestyle repels people from the church. So, how authentic is your walk? We may be the only Bible that our neighbor may ever see.

    Our Gospel reading this morning from Matthew is near the beginning of Jesus most famous sermon, The Sermon on the Mount. In this message, Jesus called his followers to the highest standards of conduct. (Pause) He challenged us to "turn the other cheek." He commanded us to love our enemy, to ...read more
