In a year that has seen bushfire and flood emergencies, we are now bracing for a further escalation of the ‘Coronavirus’.
As fears grow that the COVID-19 virus will soon be declared a global pandemic, our Prime Minister has now announced the launch of a plan to respond to the rapid and uncontrollable spread of this disease.
Like the fire and flood emergencies, we are again facing an emergency that we are powerless to control in our own strength.
This is the same realisation that drove so many Australians to their knees in prayer, as we collectively asked the true and living God to send saturating rain to quench the flames and the drought.
Now is the time for our world to gather to ask the Lord of the universe to miraculously stop the spread of this destructive disease, and to help restore communities crippled by the effects of this virus.
When we pray, we acknowledge our powerlessness and our need for a genuine, super-power.
For if Trump and Jinping, are unable to come up with a way to fix this crisis, then again it shows that faith in technology is no match for faith in Jesus.
And so, as we prayed for rain to fix the fires and drought, let us pray that God would stop the spread of this virus.
Yet above all, pray that this global threat might lead people to acknowledge their genuine need of Jesus, and bring them to genuine repentance and true faith in Christ.
For the same Lord who stopped the plague when King David repented of his arrogance (2 Samuel 24:25) is the same Lord who is also able to answer our prayer for our planet.
Let us pray that our planet might come in great number before the Lord in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

This week Jodie will lead us as we start a new two-week series ‘Know and Tell the Gospel‘, as we look at the first topic: ‘Know the Gospel’. This is an ideal opportunity for us to be very clear about the basics of what we believe, so we can easily know it and share it with others.
We have a regular question and answer segment in our services. To ask a question, simply fill out a response slip at church. Here are the questions that Jodie will tackle this week:
1 What will happen on Judgement Day for the people who never heard about Jesus? 2 Should we be hungry for heaven when we know that it will be destroyed when Jesus returns? 3 Is it selfish to hope that Jesus won’t return for a while because you aren’t ready? 4 When it says that everyone will confess that Jesus is Lord, does this include people going to hell? 5 What is the “wealth” in the Parable of the Talents and what do the interest and bankers mean? 6 Is the Parable of the Talents about our gifts or about the gospel? 7 Is Satan’s role in our sin just his temptation, or can we blame him for physical events? 8 What are your top tips on how to have a thriving, personal relationship with Jesus?
Join us on Saturdays at 5pm for our family service, with a kids program followed by dinner for everyone and a youth group for years 6-12. Or come along on Sunday mornings at 9am for a more classic Anglican feel, followed by morning tea and hot espresso!
Grace and peace from Jamberoo Anglican!

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
