This Sunday at 9.30am we’re joining together for Christmas Day at Jamberoo Anglican.

It’s pretty normal for us to have visitors join us on Christmas Day, so if you’re thinking of popping in for the first time, you’ll fit in nicely. Come and join us for a tasty espresso coffee, and some morning tea!

There are many things to distract us from the true meaning of Christmas. Why not make the time to spend an hour or so on Christmas Day reflecting on the miracle of Jesus coming into the world? You won’t be disappointed…

PS – remember, it’s 9.30am (not 8am) on Sunday morning.

  1. Could the Leviathan have been a mythical dragon, since it had flames coming from its mouth?
  2. Could the Leviathan and Behemoth have been dinosaurs?
  3. Did dinosaurs eat humans before The Fall, and did they become extinct because of The Flood?
  4. Would Job have understood that these monsters referred to death and Satan?
  5. Why would God appear to be proud of the creation of Leviathan when this monster is evil and represents Satan?
  6. If the beasts were mythical not physical creatures, then how would Job have recognised them?
  7. Since Revelation 1:17 says that Jesus holds the keys to Death and Hades, doesn’t this mean that God didn’t have this power back in the time of Job?
  8. How was Job able to speak directly to God without dying, unlike Moses who needed a veil?
  9. Why does the song ‘On our Side’ talk about the cross as cursed, when it’s the way we are saved?

This weekend Jodie continues our series on the Old Testament book of Job, with the title, ‘Mythbusting God’ from chapter 38 to chapter 40 verse 5.

At both our services, we will have a special update on SRE (Specialised Religious Education) and the need in 2017.

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

  1. Isn’t Elihu being self-righteous when he says that Job’s cry of pain is ‘wickedness and evil’?
  2. Given that God is pleased by our righteousness and angered by our sin, doesn’t this mean he is affected by our actions, even though they don’t control him?
  3. When Elihu tells Job to “beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction”, does this mean that Elihu thinks Job is being punished by God for his sin?
  4. When and where does Job live in relation to Jerusalem?
  5. Is the thunder actually God’s voice?
  6. Since the Romans 7 reading suggests that a person is only convicted of their sin when they know the law, then what happens to those who don’t hear the law?
