A summary of what’s happening this weekend

Coming up this weekend 15-16 February 2020

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

Coming up this weekend 1-2 February 2020

This week we start a new series titled ‘Glorious Judgement’ which will help us understand more about the mercy and justice of our God.

Our regular question and answer segment also starts back this week, where I answer questions you have submitted about a sermon or just the Christian life in general. To ask a question, simply email office@jamberooanglican.com or via your response slip at church. Here are the questions:

1 Did Paul get to preach to Caesar?
2 What happens after Acts in the timeline of the Bible?
3 What happens to Paul after Acts and is there a book of the Bible on it?
4 How did the other disciples not figure out that Judas had left to betray Jesus?
5 Since they ate roast lamb at the Last Supper, should we also eat lamb at the Lord’s Supper?
6 Should we be specific when we pray, or can we just mention someone’s name?
7 How do you be strong when things are hammering you down?

The regular kids church program and youth group for teens starts back this weekend, so come along on Saturday at 5pm where we can have fellowship together and share a meal after the service. Or why not try out our Sunday morning 9am service for a more classic Anglican style, followed by morning tea and hot espresso!

This week is our last sermon from our series on Acts, ‘Launching the Church’ as we look at Paul’s surprising journey into Rome at last, and the beginning of the end of his ministry in the new era of the church.

Each week during the school terms we have a question and answer segment in our services. To ask a question, simply email us at office@jamberooanglican.com or via your response slip at church. Here are the questions we’re answering this week:

1. Why did Paul go to the temple in Acts 21:26, given that he is under the New Covenant?

2. How can we prepare ourselves for the second coming of Christ?

3. Does it hurt God when we deliberately hurt ourselves?

4. If God answered our prayer for no fires in the Illawarra, does that mean He didn’t answer the prayers in fire affected areas?

5. Is it a sin to use plastic because it is wrecking God’s environment?

6. How do we get the balance right between busyness and rest?

7. Is it bad to miss a day of church occasionally to attend a party?

Come along on Saturday night at 5pm for our family service. We have a kids program for the children, followed by dinner and a youth group for the teens after the service. Or why not try our Sunday morning service at 9am for a more classic Anglican style, and we can share morning tea and hot espresso afterwards.

This week is our second last talk on our series in Acts, ‘Launching the Church‘. We will see Paul put on trial as he is accused of stirring up trouble amongst the Jews, but his hope in God continues to shine through. The section from the Bible is Acts 24:1-26:32 and it would be great if you could have a read of it before you come to church.

Coming up this weekend 30 November – 01 December

This week we continue our series on Acts, ‘Launching the Church‘, as we learn about the Courageous Christianity that the Apostle Paul shows as he confronts violent and hostile enemies as he returns to Jerusalem. It will be a fresh reminder to us of the need to trust in Jesus and be bold in his name.

Each week during our services we have a question and answer segment. If you have any questions, let us know via your response slips or by emailing them to office@jamberooanglican.com. Here are this week’s questions:

1 Since God used natural disasters to punish people in the Bible, why doesn’t he still do that today?

2 Did the man who fell out of the window defeat death?

3 Did Paul disobey the Holy Spirit in Acts 21:4 when he chose to continue to Jerusalem?

4 Is Jesus just as powerful as God?

5 Why do we seem to talk about Jesus more than God?

6 If a Christian is convinced that God is giving them a personal revelation of his calling and gifts, then how should they respond to someone who disagrees?

7 How can you find out what God’s will is for your life?

On Saturday evening at 5pm we have our family service with a kids program, followed by dinner for everyone and a youth group for the teens. Our more classic Anglican-style service is on Sunday mornings at 9am, followed by morning tea and hot espresso. If you have been thinking about coming to church, come along this week! I would love to meet you and be in fellowship with you. See you there!

Grace and peace,
Jodie
