在工作中，你有沒有過，因為太相信自己的經驗，反而跌進一個前所未有的失敗？ 在聖經裡，參孫就是這樣的人。有人說他是信錯了人，但其實他是太過相信自己，他覺得自己沒有無法克服的困難。因此他才會沒意識到神已經離開了他，讓他失去了力量。 其實在職場裡，我們都在找一個「值得信任」的人。可能是能力、經驗，也可能是品格。那我們更該問自己的問題是：「我要怎麼成為一個值得被神信任，也值得被人信任的人？」 透過這次的講道提醒我們，「需要神」不是因為自己不夠好，而是終於看清楚：原來一路走來，都是神一直與我們同在，神信任我們，祂的手成為我們的力量，也成為我們的約束！ 讓我們一起學習成為一個讓神和人都可以信任的人！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

你有沒有過這種時候？一進公司，事情一件接著一件，主管的期待、同事的關係、工作的壓力，常讓人只想著：「到底要怎麼撐下去？」有時，我們也會想：「如果我有別人的能力和資源，是不是就能做得更多？」 但今天，我們不是要來學習在職場裡撐得更久，而是一起在聖經中找到一些從神而來的智慧，看見神給我們的責任，發展神放在我們裡面的能力，也善用祂給我們的資源。因為我們在職場裡，不是追求「Super 超級」，而是學習「Serve 服事」。永遠會有比你更強的人，但只有你能放下自己去服事人的需要、服事神的心意、服事家人。 讓我們透過這次系列講道，一起學習不只是把工作做好，而是能夠問問神：「祢把我放在這裡，是要我成為一個怎樣的人，去服事身邊的人？」讓我們一同活出一個回應神呼召的職場人生。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

[Link to Pastor Peter's Sermon Notes] In this inspiring episode, Pastor Peter declares that we have entered a "season of the nearness of the Lord," a timely message coinciding with the 299th anniversary of the Moravian Pentecost and its legacy of spiritual renewal. Grounded in 1 Peter 2:1-5, the sermon challenges believers to put away malice and hypocrisy, longing instead for the "pure spiritual milk" of the Word to grow into the fullness of their salvation. Pastor Peter explains that as we come to Jesus—the living stone chosen by God—we are transformed from isolated "piles of rocks" into living stones built together into a spiritual house and a holy priesthood. By emphasizing the importance of connecting with and mentoring the younger generation for future strength, he encourages the church to move from "mourning" into a new "morning" of joy, keeping their "cowboy boots on" to stand firm in their faith as salt and light. Ultimately, this message serves as a corporate recommissioning to prioritize the presence of Christ, reminding us that because "greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world" (Mark 16:15), we can confidently offer spiritual sacrifices and experience a powerful move of God that brings supernatural fruit to our region.

In Week 5 of Born for Battle, Pastor Peter continues through the Armor of God with the Shield of Faith from Ephesians 6:16.What do you do when you know what God says, but what you see, feel, and fear seems to say something completely different?Faith doesn't mean the arrows never come. It means the arrows don't get to control you. The shield of faith rises when the truth you believe becomes the step you take.

It was our first week outside for the month of August, and Pastor Peter had a message about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus—it brings purpose, significance, and self-respect.

我們都知道傳福音很重要，但真的要開口時，心裡總會有很多猶豫。也許你會想：「如果對方問我神學問題，我回答不出來怎麼辦？」或是不知不覺背負著壓力，覺得對方一定要接受福音，才算自己有做好。但有沒有可能，在對方還沒拒絕福音之前，我們就先拒絕了自己？覺得自己不夠會說、不夠懂，也不是最適合分享信仰的人。 很多時候，人不會因為「聊信仰的主題」被冒犯，而是會因為「聊信仰的態度」被冒犯。當我們願意先傾聽、自然開啟信仰的話題，就會發現：「分享福音，不是要回答所有神學問題，而是陪伴一個人，一步步走回神的家。」沒有人是因為被說服才相信耶穌，而是神早已把尋求祂的渴望放在人心裡。 所以，福音往往就從一段聊天開始。先聽聽對方相信什麼，再分享自己為什麼相信耶穌，引導對方重新思考自己的信仰，也看見生命還有更多可能。 邀請你點開這次的主日講道，不只是學會分享福音的方法，而是看見分享福音的畫面：原來，可以這麼自然、這麼真實。也不要只是停留在對話，我們都能成為陪伴對方來到教會的朋友！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Title: The Long Straight RoadSpeaker: Pastor Peter LordDate: 27th April 2025Location: Perth, Australia Summary:"This road that is there is a road that is straight, it doesn't vary in any direction, and we know where we're going." That single image, a long, dead-straight stretch of highway crossing the Nullarbor, becomes the thread for this episode's message about walking steadily with God through every season of life. Using the picture of driving a long, flat road without deviation, this episode looks at how easy it is to drift, whether by glancing sideways at a distraction, chasing what looks like an easier path, or slowly losing focus without noticing. Scripture is used to show that while our footing can wobble, God himself never changes. His word, his promises and his presence stay exactly the same, and that unchanging nature becomes the firm base we can keep coming back to. The episode also unpacks what it looks like to stay the course over the long haul rather than in short bursts of enthusiasm. Regularly checking in with yourself, staying alert to what is around you, and leaning on the Holy Spirit for direction are all offered as practical ways to keep travelling in the right direction, even when the road ahead cannot be fully seen. Key Points: Walking with God is compared to driving a long, straight road: you cannot see the end, but markers along the way confirm you are heading the right direction. God does not change. His word, promises and character stay constant, which gives a stable foundation to return to no matter what happens. Small, gradual drifts, whether in focus, attention or belief, are often what cause people to end up off track rather than one big wrong turn. The Holy Spirit acts like a steering wheel or GPS, offering ongoing direction rather than a one-off decision. Faith is a long-term journey rather than a sprint, and regularly checking in on your own walk helps you notice small issues before they grow. Reference Scriptures: Hebrews 13:5-9 Matthew 7:13-21 1 Corinthians 1:17-25 Galatians 1:6-12 Psalm 102:24-28 Luke 6:46-49 Hebrews 12:1-3 2 Corinthians 13:4-6 Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

「為什麼只有基督徒才能進天堂？」、「基督教是不是只給那些做過壞事的人？」、「為什麼救恩是神送給我們最好的禮物？」 很多人對「救恩」的印象，都來自那些生命翻轉的見證：信主以前很壞，信主之後徹底改變。於是會以為，只有那些做過壞事的人，才需要耶穌。 但聖經讓我們看見，人真正的問題，不是去做壞事，而是認為「不需要神」，離開了生命的源頭。就像一朵鮮切花，看起來美麗，卻離開了根，已經死亡。所以「救恩」並不是只讓壞人變好，而是讓一群死去的人，在基督裡活了過來，找到了生命。甚至我們的禱告也會改變，不會只在禱告不做壞事，而是會渴望更多擁有神的生命，真實經歷生命的改變！ 今天，邀請你一起透過這篇主日講道，重新體會神的「救恩」，也好好感受「在神裡面活過來」。我們其實不只想要「得勝」而已，更是渴望能夠「回家」，回到神的面前，讓神作王，也與神同在。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

How do you protect your heart from the attacks of the enemy?In Week 3 of our Born For Battle series, we explore the Breastplate of Righteousness from Ephesians 6 and discover how living in alignment with God's truth protects our minds, emotions, desires, and choices from Satan's schemes. Pastor Peter unpacks the difference between striving for perfection and resting in the righteousness that Jesus has already won for us through the cross.

Pastor Peter encouraged us from James 5, and we heard an incredible testimony from missionary guests, Chris & Heidi Ness.

有時候，我們很想聽見神的聲音，但仔細想想，我們是真的想要知道神對我們說的話？還是只希望神趕快解決我們眼前的難題？ 信主以後，生命最大的改變，是我們不會只專注在自己身上，更會在乎祂的心意，也看見祂正在做的事，不只是關乎自己。因此在跟隨神的路上，真正的挑戰，很多時候不是擔心自己聽錯神的聲音，而是我們漸漸不在乎神想要對我們說什麼話。 透過這次的主日講道，讓我們把信心建立在神的無所不能，而不是在自己聽對的把握上。也讓我們不要只是停在原地，等神把每一步都說清楚才行動。反而當我們願意跟隨神往前，祂才有辦法一直帶領我們、修正我們走進祂美好的計畫裡。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Pastor Peter took us to chapter 4 in the book of James and gave us 5 simple prayers to help us draw near to God.

Pastor Peter explored the role of crowds in the story of Jesus' trial before Pilate, showing how groups of people can be forces for both good and harm. Reflecting on Pilate's failure to stand against the crowd and sharing a personal story about caring for a congregant named Lorraine, he challenged listeners to consider when they have remained silent instead of advocating for others. Ultimately, the message pointed to Jesus' grace, reminding us that faith is not about our failures but about who Christ is helping us become—people of courage, compassion, and advocacy.

Click here to follow along with Pastor Peter's notes - https://peterb.craft.me/discerning-the-LORD-s-nearness In this reflective message, Pastor Peter explores the importance of discerning the nearness of the Lord by tracing the providential history of the church community from its earliest "prologue". Grounded in 1 Peter 2:1-5, he invites listeners to put away "church hurt" and long for the pure spiritual milk of the Word so they may grow as "living stones" being built into a spiritual house to offer worship through Christ. By sharing how the church began as a dream that became a "life-giving tree" (Proverbs 13:12)—progressing from a portable ministry in hotels to a world-reaching mission—he illustrates that we are "God's fellow workers" (1 Corinthians 3:9) in a field where only God provides the growth. Pastor Peter challenges the congregation to appeal to the zeal of the Lord to take risks and dream fresh dreams, reminding them that while the journey includes "years, tears, and fears," every season is accounted for in light of Jesus's finished work. Ultimately, this sermon serves as a call to serve the Lord with gladness and maintain a missionary heart, resting in the assurance that the future is brighter and braver because the Lord is already there.

In Part 4 of our study in James, we looked at the critical importance of learning how to control our tongue.

In this episode, Pastor Peter explores the profound reality of "Discerning the Nearness of the Lord," declaring a divine season where God is not only being sought but is actively pressing into the lives of His people to bring refreshing and renewal. Centered on the truth of Psalm 73:27, he emphasizes that God's nearness is our ultimate good and the essential anchor for navigating personal transitions and a regional "kairos moment". Pastor Peter teaches that while we often focus on our own pursuit of God, the gospel reveals a Father who is relentlessly pursuing us, inviting us to draw near with confidence through the Blood of Jesus and the fear of the Lord. Drawing from the biblical example in John 21, where the disciples recognized the resurrected Christ on the shore, the message challenges believers to sharpen their spiritual sensitivity and reject the lie of divine distance. Inspired by the historical Moravian prayer movement, this sermon serves as a powerful call to participate in "Seek Week"—a dedicated time of fasting and prayer—to ensure the church remains a "house of prayer for all nations" that radiates the presence of Christ to a harvest-ready world.

或許我們過去都曾付上很大的代價，才終於能夠自信地回答：「我到底是誰？」但有時候，也正是這個身分，把我們困住了，讓我們看不見「原來，我還可以是誰？」 這次透過大衛年老後再次面對非利士人的戰役，我們看見他已經不再是能親自上陣的勇士。讓我們能一起學習，人生有些戰場，我們不要逃避，勇敢去面對自己的恐懼；也有些戰場，我們要學會轉身離開，去面對自己的驕傲。曾經熟悉的環境、熟練的方式，讓我們在原本的身分裡游刃有餘，但當我們願意放下，才會發現：「原來，我還可以是____ 」這本身就是恩典的禮物。 讓我們一起跟隨這位永遠知道「我們還可以成為誰」的天父，繼續探索人生中更多的可能！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Pastor Peter continued our series in the book of James and looked at the relationship between faith and good works.

Pastor Peter showed us how Herod's story revealed the danger of fear and insecurity driving a desperate grip on power. In contrast, he pointed to Jesus' kingdom as one of compassion, courage, and abundance. Even in the face of darkness, God continued to bring hope and life, reminding us we are not defined by fear. We were invited to name our fears honestly and trust in God's grace to lead us into a more hopeful way of living.

Do you believe God loves you... but secretly think He's disappointed in you?Many Christians know that God loves them, yet live as if He's frustrated, distant, or simply tolerating them. But what if that's not who God is at all?In this message from Romans 8, Pastor Peter explores one of the most hope-filled promises in Scripture: "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Together we'll discover how creation, the cross, and Christ's ongoing work for us all reveal the true heart of God.

The Field Between Here and There | Pastor Peter Reeves | Sunday, June 28, 2026

如果拿掉名字、拿掉職稱、關掉任何的社群媒體時，你還知道「你到底是誰」嗎？ 我們常常會用「別人怎麼看待我們的反應」，去決定「我們是誰」。「他好開朗，他應該是一個樂觀的人」、「他好努力，他應該是一個積極的人」……等。在這些評價的聲音背後，是否也成為我們定義自己的聲音呢？然而，人生並不是一場演給別人看的舞台，而是一個不斷探索自己的遊樂場。「你到底是誰」，從來就不只是你的事，這是上帝的事。因為祂創造我們，當我們越認識祂，也會越認識自己能成為怎樣的人 認識自己需要花時間，也需要勇氣。今天，讓我們一起透過大衛的故事來學習。在「不要逃避那些讓你害怕的事」、「不要對那些你必須治死的東西手軟」、「不要忽略聖靈的聲音」這三個層面上，來認識在神眼中，我們能夠活出怎樣的自己！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Pastor Peter reflected on the story of Moses and the burning bush, reminding us that even when we feel inadequate, God helps us accomplish everything He has called us to.

當我們開始想為神多做一些事、想要服事祂的時候，心裡都充滿熱情和憧憬。但服事越久，你可能也有過這樣的時候：付出了很多，卻感到不被理解；盡了全力，卻仍被否定。看著熱情被消磨成挫折和孤單，認為只剩自己在扛著這些重擔。所以期待有人可以看見自己的辛苦，然後給自己一句肯定和感激。 在路加福音第十章裡，馬大也帶著這樣的心情。她甘心樂意地接待耶穌、忙進忙出地服事，但當疲憊累積在心裡，只剩下委屈時。她期待耶穌替她說句公道話，請馬利亞來幫忙。但耶穌沒有幫她說話，只有對她說話。 當我們在服事中的任何委屈和挫敗，我們真正需要聽見的話，是那一句神對我們說的話。因為耶穌在乎的不是我們做了多少事，祂更在乎我們在服事中，是否聽見祂的聲音，並持續回應祂，經歷生命的更新與成長！ 透過這次的講道，讓我們一起聽見神對我們說的那句話！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Pastor Peter encouraged us that even when faith is hard, we can trust in God and let the Holy Spirit propel us forward.

Pastor Peter shared a message titled “The Spirit of Vision,” as we celebrated Pentecost and reflected on the birth of the Christian Church. He reminded us that God's Spirit is still alive and active in the world today, continuing to move through us as God's people. We were encouraged to consider how the Spirit leads us with vision, opening our awareness to the ways God is working to bring love, justice, and mercy into our lives and our communities.

What's actually standing between most people and a genuine relationship with God? Pastor Peter Philippi, author of You and God: How to Establish a Personal Relationship with God and a Clear Understanding of His Word, joins Brian From in studio to work through the objections, the confusion, and the keys that open up all of Scripture once you understand what God is actually doing. Peter breaks down why salvation has nothing to do with religion or works, what it means that we were once God's enemies and are now reconciled to him, and why every believer carries the identity of ambassador — whether they know it or not. He also makes a compelling case for the reliability of God's Word: of the 1,000 prophecies in the Bible, 500 have already been fulfilled exactly as written, which makes the remaining 500 a pretty safe bet. A practical, grounded conversation for seekers, new believers, and anyone who has picked up their Bible, put it back down, and wondered if they're missing something.

國際局勢在動盪、生命歷程在變化，面對人生裡捉摸不定的波動時，你會選擇聽「誰」的聲音呢？ 動盪的危機往往不是波動本身，而是我們在這當中選擇做什麼。波動會因環境改變，但神的原則卻永不改變。因此當我們面對波動時，不要只在「複製貼上」他人的成功方法，更應該聆聽神的聲音，並持續回應神去做對的事，這才是我們經歷神祝福的關鍵！ 今天讓我們一起在經濟變動的大環境下，學習持續撒種在神的國裡、持續撒種在你的投資理財裡，以及持續撒種在你的個人成長裡！讓神在你財務的故事中，扮演那重要的角色！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

老實說，有錢可以解決生活中許多的阻礙，或是能有更多的選擇！錢能讓我們的人生變得更容易，卻未必可以讓我們的人生變得更美好！ 有錢能買到更大的房子，卻不一定能讓你真正有「家」的溫暖；可以讓你每天搭計程車上班，卻不一定讓你更知道自己為什麼而努力。真正美好的人生，在於你如何使用神給你的一切。你使用金錢的方式，是否有反映出使命、原則，以及神的同在？別人看見你的生命時，是否能感受到你是屬神的人，是一個真正經歷過救恩的人？ 所以你現在管理金錢的方式，正在訴說著怎樣的故事呢？邀請你收聽本週的主日講道。讓我們一起學習在金錢上讓神居首位、讓神掌權，活出真正美好的人生！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

It was a special Mother's Day as we honored moms, and Pastor Peter encouraged us to continue growing our faith as we look more like Jesus.

In this powerful message, Pastor Peter announces a divine season of spiritual renewal and the nearness of the Lord, inviting the church to move beyond a "spirit of sameness" and embrace a fresh move of God. As the community begins "Seek Week," a dedicated time of prayer and fasting, listeners are encouraged to trade natural distractions for time "feasting on the Lord" to gain mental sharpness and spiritual momentum. Grounded in Psalm 103:5, Pastor Peter explains that God desires to renew our youth like the eagles, providing a buoyant, missionary spirit that rejects lethargy and weariness, regardless of one's age. This teaching challenges us to return to the "ancient path" of the gospel, becoming a community that fulfills the Great Commandment to love God and the Great Commission to reach those far from Him (Mark 16:15). Ultimately, we are called to draw near to God with a holy awe, trusting that His presence will revitalize our lives, our families, and our entire region.

Pastor Peter finished our series on the book of Ephesians with a final message about putting on the full armor of God.

今天跟昨天一樣、明天也會跟今天一樣、後天，還有什麼值得期待的呢？生活對你來說，是否開始變得沒有任何意義了嗎？ 當我們對生命不再期待，彷彿對任何人事物都毫無感覺，而陷入行屍走肉裡。這也曾是 Pastor Peter 的人生寫照，但就在這樣的狀態下，他真實經歷到神的同在，是多麼超越人所能理解的平安，並聽見神用細語般的呼喚：「Everything will be OK!」那一刻，使他靈魂甦醒，並深刻明白這位神是真的！在祂同在的那一刻，一切都將變得不同，自己也可以變得不再一樣！ 神會動工，從來就不是因為那個人很特別，而是因為祂本來就是這樣的一位神！所以當我們聽見別人的見證時，我們也能開始期待：「我也能這樣經歷祂！」這次的講道，我們會透過馬可福音第5章裡，那位血漏婦人的見證，去認出神正在尋找那些大膽相信祂的人，是相信「只要我能摸到祂，一切就會不一樣！」而奮不顧身、付上代價來到神的面前、觸摸祂的人！而你知道嗎？這樣的故事，不只是別人的見證，也可以成為你的見證。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

有時候，我們看著充滿未知的未來，心裡會有點慌，就像在一片黑暗裡摸索前進。以至於我們沒有想要真正的光，只想要抓住一點光，不想繼續待在這樣黑暗裡。我們開始靠自己點火、靠自己解決問題、靠自己拼命規劃，只是走著走著，真的有去到我們所渴望的未來嗎？ 透過這次的講道，你可以看看自己三到五年的規劃中，試著問問自己：「神是否有被放進這些規劃裡？」我們有時會猶豫，甚至有點害怕跟隨神，因為總認為祂帶領的方向，和我們的期待不太一樣。但其實祂是那位愛我們、也認識我們的神，祂比我們更理解我們深處的渴望。當祂的手在我們身上，祂的祝褔就會在我們的生命中。當我們讓祂成為我們的光，我們心中就會有個踏實，不管往左還是往右，都能夠真實經歷祂的同在！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

在罪惡感裡，我們知道自己做錯了；在羞恥感裡，甚至會覺得「連我的存在都是個錯誤」。但這樣的後悔，改變不了任何事，也不會是你故事的結局。 當我們犯錯，世界常告訴我們要更後悔、更努力改變，這是自己的事。但福音卻提醒我們，「解決罪」並不是自己的事，那是耶穌所做的事！所以耶穌邀請我們能做的，不是後悔，而是悔改！「悔改」是讓我們能夠走出自己的黑暗，重新走回到祂的面前。因為耶穌是我們的救主，祂知道我們的罪，並且給我們一條出路。 透過這次的復活節主日，讓我們一起回到神的面前，再次感受到福音的重量：我們比自己所以為的更糟、更爛，但神也比我們所以為的更愛我們。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

[Click here to access Pastor Peter's "Jesus Our Passover" sermon notes.] In this celebratory Easter message, Pastor Peter invites us to join a "worldwide party" as we recognize Jesus Our Passover, the fulfillment of every divine promise and the leader of a successful global rescue mission. Centered on Christ's exclusive claim to be the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), the sermon explains that the empty tomb is the ultimate proof of His authority and the dawn of a new creation where He stands as the first fruits of the resurrection. We are challenged to move beyond being spectators and instead become "living sermons" who actively participate in the gospel, following the persistent heart of Mary Magdalene and the bold preaching of Peter to share the hope of Christ (Mark 16:15). Finally, as we launch into "Seek Week," we are encouraged to prioritize the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33) and find the stamina to draw near to the Lord, trusting that the same "gospel road" that led to the first resurrection miracle connects us to His power today.

[Click here to follow along with Pastor Peter's sermon notes.] In this episode, Pastor Peter delivers a stirring call to move beyond being a spectator and actively participate in the fresh moves of God. Grounded in the "pristine artifact" of the gospel—that Christ died, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:3)—the message emphasizes that this unstoppable truth must be both received and "handed off" to the next generation,. Drawing from Exodus 13:8-9, we explore the vital importance of explaining the "why" behind our worship to children and new believers, ensuring their hearts are "branded" as God's unique property through core memories of encounter,. Pastor Peter reveals a powerful spiritual principle: that sanctification is linked with celebration, offering a divine prescription of praise to navigate life's stressors and prophesy future victories. By contrasting the anointed "Hosanna" of children with the critical religious spirit that leads to spiritual blindness, the message challenges us to maintain a youthful heart like Joshua and Caleb (Psalm 103),. Ultimately, we are urged to find the stamina to draw near to the Lord during this holy season, recognizing that as we seek Him individually, He draws near to transform our entire city.

我們都曾經失望過，也很容易因為一次的失望，就慢慢拋棄那些其實很有價值的事。我們都喜歡聽神應許的喜樂、榮耀，卻沒那麼期待祂說：在苦難裡，你會生出忍耐。 透過這次的講道，帶我們回到羅馬書 5:1-5，看見苦難是給我們機會，幫助我們更認識裡面自己到底是誰；苦難也會讓我們看清楚什麼才是真正有價值的事！所以苦難生出的「忍耐」不是有更多撐下去的意志力，而是會更明白一件事情的價值。因為我們都只會為自己所看重、所認為有價值的事而奮鬥！ 這樣的忍耐，會生出「品格」，讓你越清楚知道自己是誰，勝過你擁有什麼。最後這樣的品格，會生出「不落空的盼望」！人生最慘的，是我們願望成真，心卻還是空的。所以神應許給我們的盼望，是「不落空的盼望」！讓我們一起帶著這樣的「盼望」走進明天！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
