We have been shocked and saddened to hear about the horrific deaths of a Brisbane mother and her three, young children.
In what appears to be an appalling incident of domestic abuse, we feel a deep sadness as images of the once-happy-looking family are splashed over our media.
One of my facebook friends shared a news report of the incident, and the simple comment was, ‘Come, Lord Jesus!’
It is right for us to long for the return of Christ to come and bring an end to this world full of sin, death, and tragedy.
It is right for us to long for Jesus’ return to judge the living and the dead, and to bring justice to those who have been victims of harm and abuse.
And above all, it is right for us to long for a time when those who trust in Jesus will live in the new heavens and the new earth, a world with no more tears.
For this to happen, we need to pray for judgement and justice, and we need to ask for God to punish those who have committed crimes against the innocent.
Yet as we we ask for justice, we all need to plead for mercy, for the Bible tells us that all of us have rebelled against God and deserve his judgement.
However the greatest miracle of all is that Jesus, the judge, promises to take the punishment we deserve upon his own shoulders, and now look at us as though we had never committed any wrongdoing, ever.
All we need do is ask for his forgiveness, and trust in him as our loving ruler for life.
For we read these powerful and comforting words in the Bible:
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. (Romans chapter 5 verses 8 and 9)

This week we will hear Jodie speak to us on the last sermon of our current series ‘God’s Glorious Judgement‘, and will see how God’s judgement that is still to come in the End Times continues to showcase His glory and mercy.
Each week we have a question and answer segment. To ask a question, simply fill out your response slip during the service. Here are the questions that Jodie will answer these questions this week:
1 What would happen at the plague of the firstborn son if a Jew married an Egyptian? 2 If a person doesn’t believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus then are they really a Christian? 3 Why couldn’t God just forgive us without needing a sacrifice? 4 If we can just forgive someone without cost, then why can’t God? 5 Can we forgive someone who hasn’t apologised? 6 How can a Christian be called righteous when they continue to sin? 7 How can we evangelise people without being too forceful?
Join us on Saturdays at 5pm for our all-age service where we have a pre-school and kids’ program and share a meal together, followed by a youth group for years 6-12 from 7:30pm-9pm. Or come along on Sunday mornings at 9am for a more classic-Anglican-style service, followed by morning tea and hot espresso.
Grace and peace, Jamberoo Anglican

It is tragic that one of the most beautiful concepts within the Bible is so easily distorted and used to harm others.
This concept is the equal and complementary roles within marriage that help us understand the glorious service of Jesus for the church, and his self-sacrificial love for Christians.
Yet sadly, we live in a world where sin and selfishness lead us to disobey God and to harm others for our own benefit.
This is why domestic abuse is a reality amongst people in our society, including Christians in the church.
Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, including women, children and men, no matter where you live, your culture or religion, or your level of education.
But as we consider this, we must remember that domestic abuse is not just about getting angry or being in a bad relationship.
Instead, domestic abuse is a “pattern of behaviour, based on exerting power and control over another, causing fear and intimidation” (www.knowdomesticabuse.church).
The Anglican Church Diocese of Sydney has recently produced an excellent website, with printed support material, to help promote and support safer environments “that recognise equality between all people, including husbands and wives and promote a culture of healthy relationships of mutual responsibility and respect in marriages, families and congregations”.
Please visit the www.knowdomesticabuse.church website to read more about how to respond to domestic abuse in your home or in the lives of others you know.
And as this website reminds us, we must remember that the Bible “rejects all abuse, whether physical, verbal, or otherwise expressed from one person towards another and always condemns the misuse of power to control or exploit others. Therefore domestic abuse is evil.”
Are you or someone you know living with domestic abuse? Talk to someone at church you trust, or visit the www.knowdomesticabuse.church website.
This week we continue our series on ‘Glorious Judgement‘, and will see how God’s judgement is full of grace and mercy at Easter time as Jodie speaks to us from God’s word.
Each week in our services we have a question and answer segment based on your questions from the week before. Here are the ones for this week:
1 Since Jesus is part of the Trinity, why does he say in Mark 10:18 that only God is truly good? 2 Which ‘pharaoh’ is referred to in the Exodus story? 3 How did the staffs turn into serpents if God wasn’t working through them? 4 Were the ‘magic tricks’ by the Egyptians a work of the Devil? 5 Would the water that turned to blood also taste like blood? 6 Should Christians continue to celebrate the Passover or is it now obsolete? 7 Is there a difference between predestination and predeterminism? 8 How can predestination and free will both be true? 9 How can we become more brave as a Christian?
Come along to our family service on Saturdays at 5pm! We have a creche and a kids’ program, followed by dinner for everyone and a youth group for Years 6-12. Or why not try out our Sunday morning service at 9am for a more classic Anglican feel, followed by morning tea and hot espresso!
Grace and peace, Jodie
