Following on from Easter, Philip Alley speaks of the traditional season of Eastertide, the 50 days between Resurrection Sunday and Pentecost. Today, the first Sunday after Easter, is traditionally called Low (or Laus) Sunday, or St Thomas Sunday. It was one week after Thomas’ well known expression of doubt in the resurrection of Christ that he actually managed to see and touch the wounds on Jesus’...

We hear of people's famous last words. In this message we discuss the seven last sayings of Jesus Christ as he was dying on our behalf. Let this message prompt you to deeper love for Christ this Easter.

Philip Alley begins his message with a statement – we need to understand spiritual things by spiritual means, looking through the obvious to the actual. So what is reality? Our ability, says Philip, to put together the physical and spiritual realms will determine the outcome of our lives and our faith. If we live in the tangible world alone, it cripples us spiritually. How then can we rest our val...

When the gospel comes to us it challenges us to change, but not everyone is challenged the same way. Living in a society which feels entitled, the gospel of Christ challenges that. Beginning with the story of Doug, a travelling evangelist from the UK, John Alley discusses the rewards and the trials of living for Christ. John Alley shows in scripture a number of examples of people who responded in...

John Alley explores some of the history of Peace Christian Church. The miraculous provision of God through His people, enabled us to put into Rockhampton a world class facility still being used by the the Body of Christ today. John then turns to scripture and continues the theme of exploring purposeful and planned giving as seen in the Bible.

In previous weeks John Alley has given an overview of Old Testament accounts of planned giving among believers. Today he provides a guided tour of 2 Corinthians, Chapters 8 and 9. These chapters were written as teaching for a planned giving programme that Paul was running at the time. John follows this with a photo report of the time that he and Hazel spent in PNG, teaching the principles of Chris...

As a starting point for his third message in this current series, John Alley recaps briefly last week’s teaching regarding planned giving programmes as told in the Bible. John goes on to state that those in leadership need to set a good example for others in the matter of giving. In this case, John is referring not only to Church leaders but to those who could be considered financial leaders, thos...

Continuing on with his series of messages about financial miracles and how to position one’s self to be eligible to receive them, John Alley gives several anecdotes to illustrate the outworking of being in the position to receive such grace. Any word, God speaks, say John, has power if we can come into the place of believing and taking hold of it. John speaks of various instances of God’s provisio...

Everybody loves a financial miracle, says John Alley, however there is groundwork which must be in place in the life of the believer before such miracles are able to occur. John gives anecdotal evidence of great financial miracles that have come about both in his personal life and also in the life of Peace. John quotes Luke 16:10 – 12 which begins with the well-known statement, “Whoever can be tru...

David Alley begins his message with some information on the life and writings of St Augustine, author of the book “The City of God”. The city of God is not a physical place – no, the kingdom of God lives within the hearts of believers. Most people, if asked, will affirm that they are “good people”. However, the word of God teaches us that sin begins in the mind and heart. The only reason that many...

God wants to bring His people to a new place, to usher us into a whole new order of things. While we do know the Lord, and know His love, we should come to truly know Him, and truly know His love. It's the same, and yet somehow quite different. What we need is more light. This is something God gives and we should seek Him for it.

Philip Alley tells of a Cherokee teaching involving two “wolves” that are within every person. One is bad, with pride, arrogance and a whole host of wrong attitudes while the other is a good wolf, filled with love, peace and every good thing. The answer to the question “which wolf wins?” is simple. The one that you feed wins. Our world, says Philip, is a constant feed of information, vying for our...

How can two best friends become sworn enemies? This is the question posed by Philip Alley as he commences today’s message. The answer lies in the matter of offence taken by one or both parties. Philip goes on to describe the progression of offence. A careless word or unmet expectation, if nursed and rehearsed long enough, becomes a garbage dump of fire in the heart – a living hell, says Philip. Sa...

It's easy to read the Bible from our point of view and imagine the stories and parables from a humans perspective. But what about God's persepctive? Who is God, and what is He thinking about things as each story or parable is shared. In this message David Alley discusses this concept and will encourage you to read your Bible from a new point of view.

At the start of a New Year, says Philip Alley, our focus is usually forward – what we plan to do and look forward to. However if we would look back, and recognise God’s faithfulness and His workings in our lives, we would find cause for gratitude. Philip speaks of three levels of gratitude: Provision, Presence and Purpose. The first, Provision, Philip likens to a child in a high chair, learning to...
