I wonder if you’ve noticed how often we encourage others to “stay safe?”
In a way, it’s an obvious and nice thing to say, especially as we endure this once-in-a-generation global pandemic.
Yet, the idea of personal safety for believers in Jesus is barely mentioned throughout the New Testament.
Three times that it seems to speak of personal safety are more related to spiritual protection, namely John 17:12 and 1 John 5:18.
And whilst the Apostle Paul does pray in Romans 15:31 for physical protection, his concern is not his own safety, but that he might not be prevented from his mission to serve others.
This is such a contrast to our preoccupation in modern society with safety and minimising risk.
Indeed, to be a follower of Jesus is a dangerous pursuit, for we are promised that it will result in persecution and trials of all kinds.
As we read in 2 Timothy, “everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” (2 Timothy 3:12)
What’s more, as Paul suffers in chains because of his dangerous work in proclaiming Christ, his prayer is not for freedom and safety, but rather for boldness:
Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. (Ephesians 6:19-20)
So, as we seek for each person in our village, valley and region to know how to follow Jesus and why it matters, may we be bold in declaring this dangerous message, so that many more might know the eternal, spiritual safety that is found in Jesus alone.
This weekend we are continuing with our series from Matthew’s Gospel as Jodie McNeill preaches to us from Matthew Chapter 19 on ‘The Problem of the Human Heart’.
After our 5pm Saturday service we’ll be having dinner, and after our 9am Sunday service we’ll be enjoying brunch together.
As long as you are feeling well and are not awaiting the results of a Covid-19 test or needing to self-isolate, then you can attend in person, wearing a mask indoors.

If you have any questions, head to our quick links page to fill out a response slip, email us at office@jamberooanglican.com or send an SMS to 0439 890 086.
These are the questions that Jodie plans to answer this weekend at church:
1 Would our vision statement be better if the ‘how’ and ‘why’ were reversed? 2 Would it be good for us to experience more persecution, since it grows the church? 3 Since Christians have the Bible, do we still need psychologists? 4 What does it mean to be like Sarah and not “give way to fear” (1 Peter 3:6) 5 Why would Jesus baptise with fire? 6 Did Jesus know exactly what was going to happen before it happened? 7 Why would Jesus want demons not to tell people who he really was and his name? 8 Is it OK for younger children to remain in church to hear the sermon each week?
We’re really looking forward to seeing you this weekend!

Here are the questions that Jodie is planning to answer this weekend:
1 When Jesus said that Elisha and Elijah were rejected, was he referring to his own rejection by the Jews? 2 Since Jews are still God’s holy people do they go to heaven? 3 What does Jeremiah 31:34 mean when it says people won’t teach their neighbour to know the Lord? 4 How will our members be equipped to tell each person to know how to follow Jesus and why it matters? 5 What is the primary role of our weekly church gatherings? 6 How should our church balance the building up of God’s people with sharing the good news? 7 If we tell someone how to follow Jesus and they want to know more, who should do that? 8 Who was Jesus’ family? 9 Did Mary’s uncleanliness in giving birth to Jesus make him unclean? 10 Since Jesus is perfect does that mean he was proportionally perfect too?
We’re really looking forward to seeing you this weekend!

If you could sum up with one sentence your prayers and hopes for our church ministry, then what would you write?
As I considered this myself, I recently came up with this vision:
“That every person in our village, valley and region would know how to follow Jesus and why it matters.”
As I’ve been planning and praying for 2022, this statement has been really valuable in focusing my attention on what I think we should be doing as a church.
The first thing about this vision is that it defines who we are ministering to, namely each, individual person who lives within reach of our church, for our focus and as our responsibility.
The second thing about this vision is that it is about helping those people, “know how to follow Jesus,” regardless of whether they end up attending our church or not.
Our job is to speak the good news of Jesus in such a way that those who hear us will have no doubt about how to join us in following Jesus as Lord and saviour.
It helps sharpen our message, and it clarifies that we want believers and unbelievers alike to know how to follow Jesus, either for the first time or to continue as life-long disciples of Christ.
The third thing about this vision is that it ends by helping us make sure we tell people that following Jesus really matters.
Most importantly, we want every person to follow Jesus so that God will receive the glory as a person comes to follow Christ.
Plus, we want to make it clear to every person that the day of Judgement is coming soon, and it is only by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that they will be spared God’s anger through the death of Jesus.
Will you pray this vision statement with me as our church seeks to serve the Lord this year?
