     | 6,857 views

    It’s time to become a returnee and brave the journey to the land of promise. But is he prepared to lose his job to pursue his destiny? Are you?

    Genesis 31:1-55 – LEARNING FROM A TOXIC WORKPLACE He has been bullied into working for them for many years.

    Are they really ready to break free from their self-destructive cycle? Are you? If Jacob decides to act on what God has said what would it look like in their lives? What will it look like in yours?

     | 5,350 views

    What would you do if you knew you were not in the place of your calling? What would you do if you were in Jacob’s shoes? How do you apply for that dream job?

    Genesis 31 - HOW TO APPLY FOR THAT DREAM JOB Recently I was offered a position in an organisation I love. My heart jumped in response to working in such a place. I love being able to sow into people’s lives with my gifts and calling. This opportunity was one that excited my Pastor’s ...read more

  • Matthew 17:19-20 – Why Don’t I Have Enough Faith? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Oct 8, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,289 views

    Is faith just optimism draped in impotence? Jesus faith is positive and powerful? Is their faith a bonsai faith, kept small and so stunted that it is inept; dwarfed by the enormity of circumstances that are in need of a miracle? How could this be? Midget faith is not mustard seed faith!

    Matthew 17:19-20 – WHY DON’T I HAVE ENOUGH FAITH? Why are some people healed and others not healed? Is it my faith that is deficient? Jesus is asked a similar question by His disciples when they had not been able to heal a little boy. In Matthew 17:19-20 (NLT) they ask “Why ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Sep 29, 2014
     | 5,486 views

    HOW DO YOU SUPPORT SOMEONE WITH A LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS? I wonder what it would be like for the Father in Mark 9:14. His son had a life-threatening illness and he was seeking physical, emotional and spiritual answers.

    Mark 9:14-27 – HOW TO SUPPORT SOMEONE WITH A LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS He was having a biopsy on a lump. The doctor was concerned and rightly so. It turned out to be bowel cancer, a devastating discovery and as we walked into my office he asked me for my support in prayer. Of course I ...read more

  • Matthew 17:1-3 - What Is The Transfiguration Of Jesus About? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 14, 2014
     | 11,131 views

    What significance does the Transfiguration of Jesus have for me? Why did it all take place? Matthew 17 speaks about this spectacular event in the life of Jesus, but what does it all mean? What is the transfiguration all about?

    Matthew 17:1 – ASCENDING THE GREATEST MOUNTAIN OF ALL I was so intrigued by the fact that he had named himself. His father neglected to name him and so in his early teenage years he chose his own name; the name of a mountain. Mt Taraksh means Great One, and in keeping with his name, Taraksh ...read more

  • Matthew 16:20 – How To Start A Conversation With Jesus

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 4, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,660 views

    Imagine what it must have been like for Jesus! How do you start a conversation with Jesus? If you were Jesus what would you say? The normal icebreakers are not going to work ….

    Matthew 16:20 – HOW TO START A CONVERSATION WITH JESUS Walking into the building that morning (some years ago) a couple we did not know greeted us, engaging with us in conversation easily. How pleasing to go away on holidays and return to be welcomed warmly as guests by perfect strangers. ...read more

    Matthew 16:19 – Part 2 – HOW TO UNLOCK THE DOORS TO UNLIMITED RESOURCES The morning looks sleepily into the mirror, wipes away the mist so the boats on the other side of the Bay are vaguely visible, stretches it’s shadowy arms across the beach and offers me a cup of coffee as I ...read more

  • Matthew 16:19 – Part 1 - How To Un-Immobile The Ignition Of Your Faith

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Nov 19, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,919 views

    What is Jesus talking about here when He speaks of the Keys of the Kingdom? Why would He give them to Peter? Acts 2:14-41 partly answers these questions.

    Matthew 16:19 – Part 1 - HOW TO UN-IMMOBILE THE IGNITION OF YOUR FAITH Such a small and frustrating devise! How can my day be determined by something so insignificant? Yet when it has no life, I am stranded! I discovered this yesterday, and also that the shop over the road does not stock ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 31, 2013
     | 5,098 views

    It seems Jesus is deliberately inviting me to look beyond the simple awareness of a need. Jesus is inviting me NOT TO MISS AN OPPORTUNITY to accomplish the EXTRAORDINARY in ANY situation.

    Matthew 15:29-38 – FISH AND CHIPS ON A COLD WINTER’S DAY Midday Friday the smell of Fish and Chips wafts in through the adjoining doors as our small group sings the last song.

  • Matthew 7:12 – Stop Following Me! Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,400 views

    There’s a shop on the corner of OBLIGATION STREET and RECIPROCITY. It advertises free tickets, scratch-its, gifts, invitations, free samples, biros, key-rings, 2 for one. All designed to make me feel OBLIGATED to give or buy or comply or compromise in som

    Matthew 7:12 – STOP FOLLOWING ME! I was looking at Instragram photographs recently. On the most popular photographs, so many people made comments such as “I will like you 5 times if you like me”. It was as blatant as that (and as pathetic). They scream “Make me popular, ...read more

  • Matthew 7:6 – Pigslop Or Pearls? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Apr 21, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,483 views

    Pigs will eat just about anything and a lot of it, so pretending to feed wild pigs is stupid. It gets them annoyed and they are liable to get vicious. A pig doesn’t want pearls. It wants slop not Salvation, grain not Grace, corn not Christ, muck-raking no

    Matthew 7:6 – PIGSLOP OR PEARLS? Atheist Richard Dawkins was in Australia recently for the GLOBAL ATHEIST CONVENTION which started in Melbourne on Good Friday. Dawkins is well known for encouraging his fellow atheists to ridicule those who claim to be Christians. "Mock them, ridicule them ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Oct 12, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,800 views

    What does trusting in Christ look like? What difference does it make if I give my life to Christ? Isaac is a believer. His brother Esau is not. We can learn a lot from their journey in Genesis 26.

    Genesis 26 - WHAT DOES TRUSTING IN CHRIST IN DIFFICULT TIMES LOOK LIKE? 1. Genesis 26:1 - MY WANTS WILL LINE UP WITH GOD’S DESIRES GOD RIDES A MOUNTAIN BIKE She has no money or likelihood of obtaining the $500 needed for its purchase, but my daughter Rachel sees a beautiful green bicycle with a ...read more

  • Genesis 25:23-34 - Does God Have Favourites? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 31, 2011
    based on 20 ratings
     | 23,885 views

    Isaac and Rebekah had favourite sons, but what about GOD! Does He have FAVOURITES? In Romans 9:13 (NASB) God says "JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED."

    Genesis 25:23-34 - DOES GOD HAVE FAVOURITES? From birth ESAU has thick red hair over his body. Esau means "Hairy". His twin brother JACOB has an unfortunate name too. It means "to defraud, deceive, to displace". His name carries the idea of displacing someone, to replace or unseat someone. As ...read more
