Psalms 2 - God's Chosen King | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 2 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In Psalms 2 we encounter the first Psalm of David - but it is not labelled as such. We find out in Acts 4 were this Psalm is quoted that this is a Davidic song. We delve into a contrast between righteous and wicked nations, just as we did between good and bad people in Psalm 1.And it turns out that believers have a role to play in the nations as this video explains.

Psalms 1- The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked |Bible Podcast, David Alley,Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Psalms 1 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Psalms 1 we cover an introduction to the entire book of Psalms, when it was written, and who are all the authors of the songs. We also consider the introductory Psalm as a kind of introduction to the entire book. The Psalms are a favourite part of the Bible for many believers and as we commence this journey into them, we are entering into the devotional part of scripture.

The Bible: Job Chapter 42

n this video listen to Job 42 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 42 one of the world’s most unique stories concludes. We summarise the book and its main points being: The patience of Job, and our call to patience The testing of Job, and our call to bear up under testing. The dangers of accusation and what to do about it. What we learn about the problem of pain. That God is above everything that happens and we can trust him. And that Job is a great inspiration to us all.

Job 41 - The Lord Rebukes Job's Friends | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Job 41 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 41 the speech of God continues and the Lord brings up the subject of the Leviathan. Could this be a fire-breathing dinosaur? This video also considers the patience of God. Normally in this book patience is ascribed to Job, but by changing focus, we see it is God who has the greatest patience. In the book of Job we also see Christ… this video explains.

The Bible: Job Chapter 40

In this video listen to Job 40 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 40 the Lord’s speech to Job continues and must be history’s most unique speech. Here God challenges God to do a better job as manager of the universe than he does. To give one example of his grandeur God talks about the Behemoth, a creature with no modern equivalent. Could this be a dinosaur from times past?

Job 39 - The Lord Continues to Speak to Job | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Job 39 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 39 The last speech of the book of Job continues, and the Lord who speaks talks of wild goats, deer, wild ox, the stupidity of the ostrich, the strength of the horse, the hawk and the eagle. The entire chapter is about animals each created with unique abilities. It amazes phd students out in the field to find out details of the lives of various species, when they give birth, when they migrate, the size of their eggs and much more. So much happens that we have no idea about, and the world is full of incredible detail. But the Lord knows not only each species uniquely, but each individual animal. This video will consider the knowledge of God. Christ said “who of you by worrying can add an hour to his life,” … “consider the sparrow.” Here Christ ties in to what he already said to Job in chapter 39.

The Bible: Job Chapter 38

In this video listen to Job 38 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 38 we come to the last and greatest of all the speeches in the book of Job. Speech number 19. And so God starts his “explanation” by asking questions. No answers are given to any of these questions, but the questions themselves give answers. They are also intended to give an Impression to the reader as well as they did to Job too. We could truly read these 4 chapters slowly and thoughtfully and go through the same experience that Job did.

The Bible Job Chapter 37

In this video listen to Job 37 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 37 at long last Elihu’s speech comes to an end… It took six chapters. We consider how a speech can contain much good and yet be so wrong. This final chapter of his speech is his best, and starts to sound grand and “god-like” which led some commentators to suggest it was an introduction to God’s speech which follows. Rather God is so annoyed he won’t even reply to it as we shall explain. How can good and bad be intermingled? This video explains.

Job 36 - Elihu Declares God's Power and Justice | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Job 36 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 36 we are now into chapter 5 of 6 in the grand speech of Elihu. Some have labelled this the “fourth speech” of Elihu because this chapter also begins with a Moreover, as did two previous ones. Elihu tells Job that his life will “magnify the Lord” and he was probably thinking that God would be glorified in his justice, and yet we now see the truth of those words from a far distant perspective. This video considers that it means to glorify God, and how even the wicked do so without realising.

The Bible: Job Chapter 35

In this video listen to Job 35 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Job 35 Elihu continues his long speech attempting to prove that Job is wicked just as his older friends had done previously. Because this chapter begins with “Moreover, Elihu continued…” Some have interpreted this as a third speech beginning when Job didn’t reply to his previous words. And in this line of thinking Elihu gives four speeches, but this video suggests it's just one big speech. This video takes up a question by Elihu about the reason why people pray, and we find out that there are many selfless reasons why people pray.
