Alive with Christ

SATURDAY PRAYER MEETING

Join us this morning at 7.30am for a half-hour prayer time at zoom.jamberooanglican.com as we pray for our church and our world at this important time.

OUR BIBLE TALK

This week, Jodie leads us as we continue our Revelation series and look at chapters 6 & 7 and the tyranny that is revealed. To watch the livestreams of our services, simply head to watch.jamberooanglican.com or connect now at zoom.jamberooanglican.com .

QUESTIONS AND ANSWER

This weekend Jodie will be answering these questions during church:

1. Since there is no sin in heaven, who will the believers from 1 Corinthians 6:2 be judging?
2. Is the reigning with Christ of the believers in Revelation 20:4-6 the same thing that Paul spoke of in his letters?
3. Given that sections of Revelation sound like clear prophesies about the future, why should we treat them as allegory or apocalyptic?
4. Knowing that Satan is not currently bound as in Revelation 20:1-3, then how can we be living in the millennium right now?

SMALL GROUPS

Our midweek small groups are still running, even though they’re video conferences! Our forced home assignments mean it’s a perfect time to join one! We’ll send you the links to Zoom meetings on Sunday afternoon, but here are the meetings for you to join:

• Graham and Lesley Errington – 11am Monday
• Mandy McNeill (women’s group) – 9am Tuesday
• Trevor and Robyn Lucas – 7:30pm Wednesday
• Jodie and Mandy McNeill – 7pm Thursday

GIVING UPDATE

We give thanks to God that we’ve hit our target for giving in April! We are sincerely thankful to God for all who have switched from cash to direct giving, and for how this has given us some security in our church ministry as we look to reach out, together, to this hurting world. Praise God.

Each week we need to receive $3100.00 in order to meet our commitments. In the last calendar month, our average weekly giving was $3096.00, leaving a gap of $4.00.  Up to the end of the last calendar month we needed to have received $52,700. Compared to that total we received $54,664, leaving a gap of $-1,964.

Electronic giving is a great way to give! It helps us prayerfully plan our giving, and then the bank will help us keep that commitment, even when we may be unable to attend. To give by direct transfer then these are the details. Account name: Church of England Jamberoo. Account number: 10081274. BSB: 062562.

OUR BIBLE TALK

This week we continue our nine-week series called ‘The End of the World: Revelation Revealed‘, as we look at Revelation chapters 4 & 5 and the amazing picture of heaven that is revealed. To watch the livestreams of our services, simply head to watch.jamberooanglican.com.

QUESTIONS

We have four questions this week which Jodie will answer during church. Ask your own question by sending a message to our church.

1. How was John able to remember and write down all the details of what he saw in Revelation?
2. What is the significance of food in Revelation chapters 2 and 3?
3. What does 1 Corinthians 6:2 mean when it says that believers will someday judge the world?
4. Since God created fruit trees on the third day, the sun on the fourth, and bees on the fifth, then if there was a long delay between days, how did the trees pollinate?
