Peace Apostolic Ministries

Pastor Bob Bain talks on the various things that can help a believer to make a godly decision. If you listen to this happy and heartwarming message, Bob will help you get all of your ducks lined up in a row.

Many Christians struggle with the idea of being able to bring someone else to Jesus. It seems so hard, and the reality is that many have unbelief in their hearts about this whole area. Yet it is God who helps bring someone to salvation, and we cannot put life into someone, simply do the basic things Jesus asks of us. In the same way that each person is born through a process of labor, each spiritual birth often comes with labor too. This is the labor of prayer. Paul said in Galatians 4:18-19 that he was "again in labor, until Christ was formed in you." It was through Paul's prayer effort that Christ was able to take hold of the people Paul was praying for. So it must be with us, we must labor in prayer for those around us who don't know the Lord. Some labor experiences are shorter and less painful, but often labor can be long and more painful. Perseverance is required. So through perseverance, we can obtain an outcome in prayer where the Lord is able to take a hold of someone else's life and bring

If you knew someone in your close circle of friends afflicted with a terrible life threatening disease, would you care? Of course you would. And if you had the cure, would you make it available to them. Of course you would. So it is with sin, which is life threatening and fatal for all eternity. We also have the cure, which is Christ and his work on Calvary. And we have the Spirit given to us to help us be his witnesses. A person's final words seem to carry a great deal of impetus. Jesus' final words before his ascension were to make disciples of all nations. (Matt 28:18-20) However he also told them (Acts 1:1-9) to wait before starting that job, and receive the Holy Spirit first, who was going to help them. Seek the Spirit so that you might have power from Heaven to save the lost. Ask for God's help in bringing others to Him. They need him and God will help us bring them through if we ask.

The 3rd part of the 3-part-series about God the Holy Father by John Alley.

On Palm Sunday Jesus rode into town on a donkey, portaying both his kingship, and also his humility. How do we his disciples be humble like Christ, when we are often so proud, and also frequently unaware of it? In this message David Alley uses the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy to give a definition of humility that is more achievable for us, and also something that we see in the life of Christ.

A continuation of last week's message by John Alley.

John Alley begins by talking about how personal God is, and how to address him in prayer, not just with a "Dear God" but in a warmer and more personal manner. He then moves on to consider how Jesus himself addressed God in prayer, and how he referred to God in conversation, and teaching. God is overwhelmingly referred to by Christ as Father. John then talks about God as the Holy Father, something very personal and insightful into who God is.

This week David teaches us about Spiritual Investment.

Last week John preached about the desire of God to raise a people who will do his work. This calling is on Peace, and on others around the world too. In Feb 1994, while John Alley was wrestling with his call to apostolic mission in the nations, plus his ministry in the home church, he said to the Lord. “This looks like two different jobs to me. Which one do you want me to do?” The Lord replied, “It’s not two jobs! The Vision is one vision! The church IS the mission.” Later that same year, 1994, when praying one Saturday night around the new building, John Alley received a prophetic vision with a strong message: "I saw that we would as a people come into great unity of the Spirit, and that our teams, when they went out, would have tremendous power - but the power would come from the unity at home." This sermon contains these stories and more information about how God's desire is to use a people in unity, with one heart, for his purposes.

If there was a daily limit to how much prayer you could pray, would it change how you see prayer? As it is, prayer is limitless and has infinite capacity to change our lives and the world around us, but it under utilised by most christians. Additionally, Jesus called us to do "greater things" than he did, and through combined united prayer, christians through the centuries have done many such greater things. For example, the conversion of Ireland, the miraculous evacuation of Dunkirk, the falling of the Berlin Wall, the transformation of Uganda, and the amazing changes in history because of the prayers of the Moravians. We too are called together to use prayer, as a capacity for change in our cities and our nation to do greater things, which bring glory to God.

When someone is picked for a task, they can feel special for having been "the chosen one." Israel felt special for being God's "chosen people" but in the end the hogged God's blessings to themselves and didn't fulfil the purpose for which they were chosen. At 'Peace" as a church, we also have a purpose for which we have been chosen. What is the purpose of Peace? It is time to be reminded about why we are here, and what we are called to do together.

John Alley's sermon on how fruitfulness is produced by prayer.

Australia as a nation is struggling with problems, environmental, social, political and more. In this message John Alley points out that these have a spiritual cause. The problems are symptoms of another bigger problem, which is the turning away of people from God. Listen as John discusses the importance of our prayers, and the type of prayer we are called into.

Being a soul winner is easier than you think. God is involved in every part of the process, and it has much less to do with you, than you have thought. Listen as David Alley outlines three points to help your prayers for souls, three more points to help your witness and a few other points thrown in for good measure.

Although Paul didn't receive support from the Corinthians, and wouldn't take a gift from the Thessalonians, he did receive regular support from the Philippian church. There was a deep and intimate connection between Paul and the Philippians, something which connected their hearts in an unique way. It seems that this is something God does when he calls an Apostle, he also calls people to be of one heart with the minister, and serve and love. Effectively what the apostle does becomes a ministry they both partner in and share in together.
