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.

Grace and peace,

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.

If you missed last week’s Bible talk then why not head over to jamberooanglican.com/talks where you can also hear the answers to the questions, and get details about how to subscribe to our podcast.

Each week we have a question and answer segment during church. Here are the questions we’ll be hearing answers to this week:

1 What happened to the 40 hunger strike people?
2 Why do Christians still need the Old Testament?
3 Can people predict the second coming of Jesus?
4 Will God forgive you if you commit suicide just to be with Him?
5 How do you know if God has answered your prayer?

Join us this Saturday at 5pm for our all-age service, where we have a kids program and share dinner together afterwards. A youth group will follow from 7:30-9pm for the teens. Or why not come along on Sunday at 9am for our more classic Anglican style service, followed by morning tea and espresso coffee!

Grace and peace,

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

We continue our series on Acts this week, ‘Launching the Church’, and will see the evidence of a Pastor’s heart in Paul through chapters 20 & 21 as he continues to teach the word of the Lord. His willingness to sacrifice himself for the Lord is evident as he continues to encourage his fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

Each week at our services we have a question and answer segment. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them during the week by emailing them to office@jamberooanglican.com or via a response slip at church.

Here are the questions that we’ll be looking at this weekend:

1 Was it Jesus or one of the angels who spoke to Paul in the dream?
2 Is the Devil the boss of Hell or is he just like every other non-Christian living there?
3 How can ‘the elect’ truly follow God if they don’t have a genuine choice?
4 When a person dies who isn’t a Christian, what happens to them on Judgement Day?
5 If someone confesses and truly believes that Jesus is Lord but doesn’t show it in their life, then will they be saved?
6 Is it is a sin to find it hard to trust and forgive a Christian who keeps sinning and going the wrong things even after they have repented?
7 When Hebrews 6:4 says “it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were enlightened” does it mean it’s impossible to re-convert a believer who has fallen away?

We would love to see you at our Saturday evening service at 5pm, which has a kids program, followed by dinner & a youth group for the teens, or our Sunday morning service at 9am where afterwards we can share morning tea and good conversations over hot espresso!

Grace and peace,
Jodie

This weekend we continue our series on Acts, ‘Launching the Church’, and are looking through chapter 18 about how Paul in Corinth and Ephesus, through the Scriptures, showed that the Christ was Jesus!

Each week at our services we have a question and answer segment, and this week’s questions are:

  1. How does the devil have the power to tell the future?
  2. Is it unwise or sinful to celebrate Halloween?
  3. Aren’t all unmarried Christians living with the gift of singleness, at least for that period of time?
  4. Is the gift of marriage something to be desired, given it leads to a divided devotion to God?
  5. Why does singleness seem to be rarely encouraged for Christians?
  6. Should we encourage Christians into singleness if they are in a relationship with a non-Christian?
  7. If babies cry through their baptism does that mean that they don’t want to be baptised?

So come along to our Saturday service at 5pm, where we have a kids program and dinner afterwards, followed by a youth group for the teens, or to our more classic Anglican style service on Sunday at 9am, and we can chat over morning tea and espresso after.

Grace and peace,
Jodie

This week our Acts series, ‘Launching the Church’, follows Paul in Athens as he proclaims the truth about the Saviour, Jesus Christ, from Acts 17:16-34. We’ll see how Paul talks to a group of deep thinkers about why God is real and how they need to respond. It’s a great example of connecting with people in a relativistic world with lots of gods and idols.

We also have a weekly question time during our services. If you have a question, please fill out a response slip or send an email to us. Here are the questions we’re answering this weekend:

1 Who are the modern-day equivalents of the ancient Bereans?
2 If Lydia never heard Paul’s message would she be in Heaven?
3 If God wants everyone to believe in Him then why does he choose only some people?
4 In Acts 16 how did the slave girl predict the future?
5 Are people still possessed by spirits and demons like the fortune-telling woman?
6 Is it necessary to get baptised?
7 Will everyone in the same household be saved?
8 Does the Apostles Creed include all we need to believe for salvation and thus fellowship?
9 Will traditional Catholics go to heaven?

Please join us for church this Saturday at 5pm, with a kids’ program, followed by dinner and then a youth group for the teens. Or come this Sunday at 9am for a more classic Anglican style service and we can chat over morning tea and hot espresso!

Grace and peace,
Jodie
