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?

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 $6300.00 in order to meet our commitments. In the last calendar month, our average weekly giving was $5675.00, leaving a gap of $625.00. Olimometer 2.52 Up to the end of the last calendar month we needed to have received $273,000. Compared to that total we received $245,588, leaving a gap of $27,412.Olimometer 2.52
