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

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 10, 2010
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,066 views

    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

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - When Jesus Skips Out On Church, You Know Someth Series

     | 6,156 views

    It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

    When we have a crisis in our life, we must learn to trust that Jesus is our answer.

    Intro. Today we come to the second miracle Jesus performed. The only place this miracle is recorded in the Scriptures, is in our text. It is also the second Miracle in Galilee. After Jesus turned the water to wine, his popularity grew. Skepticism immediately began to grow. Jesus had ...read more

    Doing The Right Thing Is Not Always The 'done' Thing

     | 3,814 views

    A short talking looking at how Zacchaeus and Jesus both did the right thing, even though in the eyes of those around them it was not the 'done' thing. Jesus in particular upset 'all the people' by eating a meal with Zacc. It was not the 'done' thing - but

    There is a phrase from my childhood that has been rattling around in my brain this morning.

    Jesus' call to us is service (Luke 17:11-19)

    Jesus is on the way to Jerusalem. He will be betrayed, tortured, abandoned and murdered. He’s going willingly, in the full knowledge of what will happen to him. Yet, instead of being paralysed by fear, despair or anger at the unfairness of it all, he continues to live out the way of service. ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,556 views

    At the Rapture, the dead in Christ shall rise first and then those who are alive shall be instantly changed. How will New Testament believers who have slept (or physically died) be raised? What is the resurrection body like at the Rapture?

    Intro: Because Jesus rose from the dead, we shall live also (John 11:25-26). All true Christians wait for the glorious appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ (I Thess. 4:15-18).

    Over and over in the Gospels we see the work of Christ culminate in a celebratory banquet, even in the healing of the little girl.

    Monday of 5th Week in Course Feb 4 2012 Sacrosanctum Concilium The story of Jesus’s raising of the little girl, the daughter of Jairus, is one of the most touching in the Holy Gospels. The incident may have happened in Capernaum, St. Peter’s hometown, and it involved one of the ...read more
