This weekend we continue our series on Galatians. In the next talk, Jodie will be speaking on the topic, “Freedom Opposed”, from Galatians chapter 2 verses 11 to 21.

During our service, we’ll have our weekly question and answer time, and Jodie will be answering these questions:

1. Since Paul previously felt no need to consult with anyone about the gospel he received from Jesus, then why did he finally go to Jerusalem to check his message was legit?
2. What is circumcision, and what does it mean?
3. Are those who preach the need to strictly keep the Sabbath day like those who preached the need to be circumcised?
4. Was Peter wrong because he taught that Jewish traditions were necessary, or because he withdrew from Gentile Christians when he was supposed to be including them?
5. Which other countries did Paul spread God’s word to?
6. Where are Cilicia, Galatia, and Antioch on a map?
7. How did Paul die?

We will also be reviewing our Weekendaway from last month with a special presentation video.

During our service, we’ll have our weekly question and answer time, and Jodie will be answering these questions:

6. What is the difference between our spiritual bodies and the spirits who possessed people on Earth?
7. Is Jesus still in human form?
8. Since in Heaven we are unable to sin, doesn’t that mean that we are like robots?

11. What does the Bible say about attending more than one church?

1. How could Jesus die since God is immortal?
2. If God still speaks today, why doesn’t the Bible get updated like the prayer book gets updated to reflect modern changes?
3. Since God chooses some people and not others, what about the verse that says God is not willing that anyone should perish?
4. If singleness is a gift, then why do single people struggle to be content?
5. How long did Lazarus live for after Jesus raised him from the dead?
6. What are the differences between the Sadducees and the Pharisees in the Bible?

Our 8am Sunday service will be a Morning Prayer Sunday service and at both our services, we will have a special update about Anglicare which is our Mission of the Month.

During our service, we’ll have our weekly question and answer time, and Jodie will be answering these questions:

1. Why does John’s Gospel say that Jesus changed Peter’s name when he first met him, but Matthew’s Gospel says Peter’s name was changed when he identified Jesus as Messiah?
2. If God is present with us in church, where would he sit?
3. When Jesus said in Matthew 18:19 that if two people agree about anything they ask for that it will be done by his Father, doesn’t this mean our prayers change God’s mind?
4. Given that some Roman Catholics leave their church when they discover grace, doesn’t this mean the priest didn’t understand the Bible and grace himself?
5. How is Anglican infant baptism different to Roman Catholic infant baptism?
6. When Jesus takes someone’s sins, doesn’t that make him imperfect?
7. How is it possible for Jesus to take everyone’s sins, rather than just taking one person’s sins as a swap for one person’s sinlessness?
8. Does ‘Hell’ really exist and what is ‘Sheol’?
9. Where did Jesus go after he died on the cross, before he rose from the dead?
10. Since the Bible says that we should count our conversions in Heaven, doesn’t this mean that Rugby is the game played in Heaven?
