Peace Christian Church - Rockhampton

Continuing from Last week's message, John shows us how to to pray for Fellowship in the City of Rockhampton, and uses the Bible to show how some things in the Bible are represented by "Types and Antitypes". In order to get answers to prayer, you must believe. John shows us the Spiritual principles that apply to prayer for individuals also applies to prayer for Cities. Through Faith, Will, Authority, and aligning your will with the Lord, you can receive answers to prayer.

"Rockhampton to be the City of Fellowship, of communion, of brotherly love, and of peace. And for the presence of the Lord Jesus to be all through the city." The phrase above was given to John when he asked the Lord for a word for Peace TV's local city. In this message, John explains the word "fellowship" and directs us to pray for the fulfilment of this word.

Throughout the Bible, God gives his people instructions that they misinterpret. A key example, God promised Israel a king, but a king that God would choose. This King would be the Messiah: Christ. But the people wanted a king like the nations around them. David shows us that we should look to Jesus for the answer to our problems, and how focusing on him is the only solution we need.

One of the issues that David has noticed in preaching the Apostolic message, is that the very term "Apostolic" is poorly understood. And so, David devised a strategy to overcome this problem... Listen along to find out how he did it!

Preceding Peace Church's week of Listening prayer, David tells us about why we should eagerly desire wisdom. Using proverbs given to Solomon by David, he shows us that we must listen to gain wisdom.

Are you feeling comfortable? David shows us the biggest obstacle to our growth: Feeling too Comfortable to MOVE. In order to change, you need to be willing to allow the Lord to do his work in you.

Wether through preparation in advance or through flexibility to change, David shows us how we can prepare ourselves for what the Lord wants to do in our lives. Through the strategies outlined in this sermon, you will be able to accept whatever calling the Lord puts upon your life!

People everywhere are searching — for meaning, direction, peace. Some look to spirituality, some to self-help, some to anything that promises answers. But what if the hope they’re looking for is already closer than they realise? This message calls us to rediscover what we carry in Christ, and to stop treating faith as an add-on instead of a light meant to be seen.

How do you "gird up the loins of your mind?" Continuing the thought from David's message, Philip takes us to Proverbs 6:30-31, and relates it to how Satan is a thief. Turning to 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, he applies the proverb to our thoughts.

Opening up to 2 Corinthians 5:9, John calls us to make it our goal to please the Lord. Looking at the example of the Corinthians, (as recorded in an unsigned letter from Rome during the persecution of Domitian) John shows us that we should daily seek the Lord in order to live Righteous lives.

Whenever the average person thinks of the Biblical "Millennium", they think of Jesus establishing a physical kingdom on earth in our future! But John shows us, using the Bible, that we are already in the Messianic age! And that Jesus is already ruling and reigning in Heaven! John explains further the huge implications of the messianic rule of Christ.

When the Bible tells us to "Gird Up the Loins of your Mind", what does it mean? David explains the meaning of a very confusing passage of scripture, and shows us how the Bible can change between translations. Mentally preparing ourselves in our daily walk is a prudent part of being a Christian, watch this video to learn why!

It is 2026! Around this time, many people are setting new resolutions for themselves, but are they "Crowning the year?" John tells us through the word and illustrations from himself and others the very real benefits of dedicating the year to the Lord Every Day!

When Jesus first came into the world, there was No Room at the Inn. Philip opens up with the Passage Luke 2:1-7, Where Joseph and Mary travelled to Bethlehem only to find no room at the Inn. Philip contrasts this with Luke 22:7-13, where, entering back into Jerusalem, Jesus is given space in the guest room. A great Christmas Eve message about Christ's ministry on earth to celebrate the Birth of our Lord.

This fourth sunday of Advent 2025, John Alley talks about God's love, which is revealed as the word of God, Jesus Christ.

David continues his message from the previous week.

There are things which Christians disagree about, such as what is the best Bible version, or whether to homeschool, or even whether to have vaccines or not. In Bible times there were many things which Paul called disputable matters. What should our approach be towards other believers who see things differently to us on a variety of day-to-day things?

Most people follow a path in life they are not even consciously aware they are following, but its a path that they feel is in their best interests. Very few ask the question, 'What does the Lord want me to do?' But it is in serving the Lord that life becomes meaningful. Even a mundane life in the Lord's will has the most powerful significance.

David, having returned from Türkiye, shares some thoughts on Idol worship from ancient times, and applies the same measure to us today.

Guest Speaker Wayne Maxwell delivers a message about trusting the Lord, and building that trust through Listening.

David shares a message about loving the brethren... even if they believe in strange things! Drawing on experiences of growing up in Catholic schools, David shows us how, even though other Christians may be different from us, we still need to love them as part of the body of Christ.

David shows us a Birds-eye view on the calling that God places upon us to be in relationship with one another as a church community.

The Prophet Isaiah has an interesting story: He is given a vision of God, and receives a commission to prophecy to the people about the coming saviour. John shows us what this means for us today, and relates Isaiah's story to the prophecy of Jesus.

Our goal as followers of Christ is to spread the message of the Gospel. That involves acting as a witness in the lives of others. David shows us the deeply personal nature of Witnessing, and explains how we should seek opportunities to do so.

...And how their kids react. This Father's day, Philip shows us through the scriptures and examples from his own life how Fathers can have a real impact on the lives of their kids, and how those kids reciprocate.

David shares from the Bible, showing us that we are witnesses. We're not the judge, we're not lawyers, we simply present our testimony when we are summoned to the stand.

While making the Church Online Experience, a questions occurred to Jonathan: "Is Worshipping God through an Online Church real worship?" Jonathan answers that question, and also encourages us to find the true heart of worship.

Christians use a lot of jargon, from "Eschatology" all the way to "Filled with the Spirit" - but to those outside of the faith, these terms are quite meaningless. David shows us how to reach the lost, and shares some plans of how he intends to do so.

Reverend Timothy Attwood is a member of Prison Fellowship Australia, and has helped to create prison ministries Australia-wide. In this message, he shows us through the word that the Gospel is not exclusive. And that it is a message that must be shared with everyone.

Following up from Philip's message, David tells some Amazing stories about people Tithing. In situations of fear, financial stress, and concern for personal wellbeing, Tithing can feel like the last thing that people want to face.

Philip presents Biblical evidence for why the act of Tithing is beneficial to your walk with Christ. Philip goes through the Bible, both before the law was given, within the law, and after the law, so show that tithing applies as a universal idea.

Rivers of Living Water! In the story of the woman at the Well, Jesus tells the woman that he has living water. But what does that mean for us? Jonathan shows us that we can have a stream of life flowing out of us that satisfies us.

Both the books of Ezekiel and Revelation refer to a river flowing out of the Throne, describing it as "The life of God". But what is the River of Life? Is this a picture of Heaven? Watch along as David shows us that this is a symbolic representation of the Gospel.

Recognising a spiritual Aura, John describes to us what the passage James 1:12 calls "The Crown of Life". This reward is given to those who stand faithful through the trials of life.

With wars rising in the middle-east, a question pops up amongst believers: Is the battle of Armageddon approaching? Short answer: No. David gives us the biblical background to the meaning behind the name "Armageddon".

Are you believing a LIE? How could you tell? Using the scriptures, Jonathan shows us the Character of the Devil. John 8 tells us that the Devil's native tongue is lies. He constantly sends lies our way in order to trick us into a life of despair. But Jesus, who is the light and truth, has offered us a way to live in his truth. Jonathan shows us how to take a lie-detector-test. The Polygraph of Scripture.

As humans, we find ourselves in a life of hardship. The Bible describes our struggles, troubles, and sufferings as "The Great Tribulation". But why do we go through trial and hardship? David shows us through the scriptures how going through hardship allows us to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus heals a man who had been paralysed for 38 years at the pool of Bethesda. Jesus asked the man if he wanted to be healed, and then called him to action. Is there a call to action from Christ that you are ignoring?

During WW2, there was a point in which the planes had to make a decision: Turn back, or complete the mission. In our Christian walk, we also have a decision to make: Live for yourself, or Live for God.
