I don’t know about you, but I find it really easy to sit on my phone during lockdown.
Everything can just seem to be down and out. Social media, Netflix, and YouTube are easily entertaining comforts that take me away from the stress and worry we all feel.
However, my temptation is that these comforts will creep in and consume all my time! They not only entertain me, but can also mislead me.
They can turn my focus away from God and the needs of others and twist it onto myself.
In Jude’s letter to the saints, he appeals for the believers to “contend for the faith that was once for all delivered” to them. (Jude 3)
For at that time there were false teachers creeping in and perverting the marvellous grace of God. (Jude 4)
Our temptation in the grief and disconnection of lockdown can be that our comforts, like that of the false teachers, can creep in and mislead us.
They too can act as a concealed danger, a misleading guide, and a false hope.
Whilst these comforts can be amazing blessings, we need to be cautious, especially during the weariness of lockdown, when we let anything else other than the word of God permeate and resound as the consuming voice in our minds.
Jude’s antidote to the false teachers was that the believers would guard themselves in the love of God by building themselves up in the faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, and waiting for the mercy of Jesus which leads to eternal life. (Jude 20-21)
My prayer is that during this weary time we would all keep ourselves in the love of God, guarding ourselves by reading God’s word, praying in the Holy Spirit, and patiently waiting on our Lord.
Our greatest comfort is knowing that it is ultimately God who loves us so dearly that he will “keep you from stumbling and present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Saviour,… be glory, dominion, and authority, now and forever. Amen.”(Jude 24-25)
Praise be to our God who keeps us in his great love!
This weekend Jodie will be preaching on Matthew chapter 3 with the topic, ‘Preparing the Way’. It’s the bit where we meet John the Baptist, who is leading people to repentance… but more than that, is leading people to Jesus, who is the servant king and God’s precious son.
Join us Saturday at 5pm and dinner afterwards, followed by our ‘Nightlife’ fun from 8pm. Or Sunday morning at 9am, followed by morning tea and hot espresso. We can’t wait to have you join us!
If you have any questions, simply fill out a response slip during the service, email us at office@jamberooanglican.com or send an SMS to 0439 890 086.
Here are the questions Jodie plans to answer this weekend during church:
1 In Matthew Chapter One, were the controversial women immoral or unconventional? 2 Did Jesus have all the knowledge of God or was it more like other humans his age? 3 When did Mary and Joseph actually get married? 4 When God appeared in a dream to the wise men, was it the same dream for them all? 5 Was God a scary figure in the dream to the wise men? 6 If Jesus was killed as a baby by Herod, would our sins have been forgiven? 7 Did Herod go looking for the wise men after they went home another way? 8 Where did Jesus live when he was an adult? 9 Since the Hebrews left Egypt with large flocks, why did they complain of not having meat? 10 Why do we have a Senior Minister and not a Junior Minister?
Our kids’ ministry programs run at both services. We would love to watch your children, from babies to Year 6, and have them join our leaders in a time of fun and learning. The livestream will continue on the TV in the hall so if you need to stay with your child, you won’t miss out on church.
If you’re able to join us in person, please come along for our Covid-safe service, or if you can’t be with us in person, head to watch.jamberooanglican.com to watch our livestream.
