JUNE & JULY BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘How Will the World End?’ by Jeramie Rinne. How you ever wondered what the end of the world will actually look like? Christians believe that history is moving towards a dramatic conclusion – that one day Jesus Christ will return in glory to judge the living and the dead. But there seem to be so many different views about how this will happen, and when it will take place. How can we make sense of it all? This short, readable book explains clearly and simply the liberating reality of what the Bible is actually saying about the return of Christ and the end of the world. We have physical copies available for purchase over in the church hall. However, if you wish to order your own copy online or read via Kindle, you can do that here.

Over the past week, our staff team were blessed to attend the Wollongong Regional Ministry Conference, along with many others who serve in Anglican churches nearby.
A highlight was hearing Archbishop Kanishka offer a word of great comfort and encouragement to us, as we reflected on the challenges of serving during the past two years of the pandemic.
He preached to us from Isaiah chapter 40, where the Lord instructed Isaiah to, “Comfort, comfort my people… speak tenderly… tell her that her sad days are gone and her sins are pardoned.” (verse 1 and 2)
This, alone, would be enough for us to have relief in the heart-filled word of our Lord.
Yet, this delightful chapter concludes with these wonderful words about the stamina of our God:
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. […] He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. (verses 28 to 31).
Our endurance comes from the Lord, who gives us power and strength as we simply trust in him and his goodness.
As Kanishka noted, “the way of comfort for us is to look outward to the God of grace and glory.”
As you reflect on your spiritual journey in the past two years, it’s normal to feel some degree of fatigue and even exhaustion.
But what a delightful comfort to know that the limitations of our creatureliness are a blessing, not a curse.
For, in our weakness and fatigue we are drawn to the rest and comfort of our maker who never grows weak or weary, and who gives us strength, in him.
This weekend we are going to be hearing from God’s word as Jodie McNeill preaches to us from Daniel Chapter5 on ‘The Writing on the Wall’.
After our 5pm Saturday service we’ll be having dinner, and after our 9am Sunday service we’ll be enjoying brunch together.
We’d love you to join us in-person if you’re able, or watch our livestream at watch.jamberooanglican.com.
These are the questions that Jodie plans to answer this weekend during church:
1 Why does Daniel call the king, “my lord?” 2 What language did Jesus speak? 3 Does Jethro know that Moses killed someone? 4 How can God keep letting school shootings happen? 5 If God is loving, why does he let people die without hearing the gospel? 6 Is goodness good just because God decided to make some things good? 7 Why do we pray before we read the Bible, but we don’t read the Bible before we pray? 8 Does the Holy Spirit speak to our spirit or our soul? 9 In hardship, will God give us a sign that things will be OK? 10 How should I respond to being blessed in knowing God by growing up in a Christian family?
If you’d like to submit your own question to be answered in church in the future, then simply hit ‘reply’ to this email.
We’re really looking forward to seeing you this weekend!

APRIL & MAY BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Storm Tossed Family’ by Russell Moore. Whether you are married or single, whether you long for a child or shepherding a full house, you are part of a family. Family can be the source of some of the most transcendent human joy, and family can leave us crumpled up on the side of the road. This is not just another book about some practical steps to having a perfect family. Instead, it is a book that is painfully real about the struggles that we all have with our families while living in a broken world. Moore argues that we often actually damage our families by attempting to make them central in our lives when the gospel should be central instead. Moore’s book is challenging and helpful, whether you are a parent, a child, a spouse, or a single person. If you would like to order a physical copy or read via Kindle, you can do that here.

On the 26th of May, this country recognises Sorry Day and it remembers that over 100,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were taken from their families, many to pass, never to meet any of their loved ones.
Many are still walking on this earth looking to find their families.
So it is still a raw thing and the trans-generational trauma is passed down through generations upon generations.
It’s still a real thing in the lives of Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders.
We can all say ‘sorry,’ but it is not the word we say, it’s the actions that we do that show that we recognise and show respect to one another and we mourn with those who mourn.
It’s important because you need to understand the past to know where we’ve been.
One, that we don’t repeat it and, two, that in order to be reconciled we have to make amends and deal with it.
So, I love when I think of God’s message, that he sent his Son down to deal with our sin, that his Son died upon the cross, that through the blood of Jesus, we are reconciled to him, and he rose in three days.
I love that image, that true reconciliation is done and is seen through the blood of Jesus Christ.
As God’s people, and as his church, we have the responsibility to be ambassadors of reconciliation.
So I want to encourage us … that we would be bringing the true message of reconciliation to this country.

These are the questions that Jodie plans to answer this weekend during church:
1 How did they make the furnace seven times hotter? 2 Where was Daniel in chapter 3? 3 Why has God made some people with weaker consciences than others? 4 How does the message of Daniel give us hope in our trials? 5 What does it look like to be “spiritually dull” (Hebrews 6:11)? 6 If we have followed Jesus now, would we have also followed him in Eden? 7 If Jesus took all our punishment on the cross then why do the effects of the curse still exist? 8 Who taught Theophilus in Luke 1:3? 9 In Exodus 3:2 is the angel of the Lord just an angel, or actually God? 10 Will we be vegetarian in Heaven?
