Esther 3 - Esther Chosen as Queen | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Esther chapter 3, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Esther 3 we meet Haman the Agagite, the antagonist in the story of Esther. As a descendant of Agag, he is an amalekite, the sworn enemy of Israel, which was first encountered after the Exodus in the book of Numbers. We also explore Saul’s failure to obey the Lord and the implication of this a thousand years later in the Esther story. Chapter 3 also unveils the plot of Haman, and the very coincidental timing of the casting of the purim, the dice. This video will cover these things, plus spiritual truth for you today.

Nehemiah 12 - Dedication of the Wall | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Nehemiah chapter 12, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. ' In Nehemiah 12 the wall that has been built is dedicated to the Lord. According to 2 Maccabees 1:18, the events here took place on the 25th of Kislev, about 3 months after the building of the wall was completed. Modern thinkers such as ourselves are conditioned with a separation of church/state mindset, so why dedicate a city wall? What does that have to do with the Lord? And yet for them all of life was spiritual. This video will consider the similarity between work and worship in the Jewish mind, and the sameness of the secular and sacred too. What does it all mean for you?

The book of Nehemiah is in three rough sections Rebuilding the walls Revival Organising the Temple/Community going forwards. Our lives also need to be brought back to being close to God, and then organised to stay there. Its not enough to rebuilt what was broken and restore a heart for the Lord, if true change is not put in place it will revert. In Nehemiah 11-13 they begin a process to put true change in place.

Nehemiah 10 - Renewal of the Covenant | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Nehemiah chapter 10, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Nehemiah 10 there is a revival at work, and the people’s hearts are moved towards the Lord and his Law. But they make a disastrous move… they make a covenant, which is something only God should make. Trying to keep the law with one’s own covenant or effort cannot succeed. Yes the heart must agree with what the Lord says, but Christ on this matter said, “let your yes be yes” and “no be no” because “anything else comes from the evil one.” (Matt 5:37) How can agreeing with good, be bad? This video explains. We also share the example of the revival at Northampton under the oversight of Rev Jonathan Edwards. What was started by the Spirit’s leading, cannot be sustained by human effort and will ultimately break down, as it did in both cases. IN the case of Northampton it broke down with a loss of enthusiasm, and in the case of Israel it turned into harsh legalism.

Nehemiah 9 - Confession of Sins | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Nehemiah chapter 9, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Nehemiah 9 the people attend a solemn assembly, of the type the prophets Joel and Zephaniah called for. They come to listen to the word and end up spending a quarter of a day in public confession of their sins. In this video we cover the events surround this solemn assembly, but also consider why a God would forgive when he already knows in advance what sin yet remains to be committed. What a timeless, merciful and forgiving God we have.

Nehemiah 8 - Reading and Explaining the Law | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Nehemiah chapter 8, read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Nehemiah 8 we are now in the non-autobiographical part of Nehemiah. Considering that so much of the book of Nehemiah is written in the first person, this third person account in chapter 8 is part of a later inclusion… this video explains how that is ok, and this is still the word of God. Also, in this chapter they celebrate the feast of tabernacles (sukkoth) for the first time since Joshua son of Nun. That was a thousand years earlier… WOW!!
