This Sunday we continue our series by Jodie called The Spirit of Christ from John chapters 13 to 16 as we experience the extraordinary night before his death as he gathers with his disciples. We’re looking this weekend at John 16:1-11 as we see the ‘Spirit of Conviction’.

Here are the questions that Jodie plans to answer during our church services:

1 What does John mean by ‘the world?’
2 Should Christians observe a sabbath day?
3 Why should we strive to enter God’s rest? (Hebrews 4:9-11)
4 Who is the leader in Hosea 1:11?
5 Was Hosea’s marriage to Gomer real?
6 Was Gomer a virgin when she got married?
7 Now we’ve repaid our loan, will Parish Council reduce the offertory target?

If you’d like to add a question to the list, there’s still time… send and email or message and we’ll get Jodie to answer it this weekend.

Every day (except Sundays) we meet at 7am online for an online half-hour morning prayer time at zoom.jamberooanglican.com and you’re very welcome to join us!

After church we’ll have brunch in the morning and dinner in the evening, so there’s plenty of time to chat and chew, together!

See you on Sunday, God willing!

We’d love you to join us in-person if you’re able, or watch our livestream at watch.jamberooanglican.com.

Here are the questions you’ve asked that Jodie plans to answer during church this Sunday:

1 Why was the NLT right to translate ‘ministry’ as ‘making dinner?’
2 Is it OK to want to do things for God as an act of thanksgiving?
3 How does God feel when a person turns to Christ?

If you’d like to add a question to the list, then send an email or message… there’s still plenty of room for your question!

See you on Sunday, God willing!

OCTOBER & NOVEMBER BOOK OF THE MONTH

‘God’s Big Picture: Tracing the Storyline of the Bible’ By Vaughan Roberts.

Sixty-six books written by forty people over nearly 2,000 years, in two languages and several different genres. Sworn by in court, fought over by religious people, quoted in arguments. The Bible is clearly no ordinary book.

How can you begin to read and understand it as a whole?

This book gives you the big picture of the Bible! It provides both the encouragement and the tools to help you read the Bible with confidence and understanding. And it points you to the Bible’s supreme subject, Jesus Christ, and the salvation God offers through him. We have physical copies available for purchase over in the church hall. However, if you wish to order your own copy online or read via Kindle, you can do that here.

GIVING UPDATE

Each week we need to receive $6300.00 in order to meet our commitments. Last month, our average weekly giving was $5509.00, leaving a gap of $791.00. Up to the end of the last calendar month we needed to have received $273,000. Compared to that total we received $245,588, leaving a gap of $27,412.

We’d love you to join us in-person if you’re able, or watch our livestream at watch.jamberooanglican.com.

These are the questions that Jodie plans to answer this weekend during church:

1 Do all angels send those they are tempted to send?
2 Was Satan already sinful when he rebelled from God?
3 Was it a sin that Rebecca loved Jacob more than Esau?
4 What are Arminians and Calvinists, and who is right?
5 If you pray about something can you change God’s mind?
6 Since Jesus is fully God and fully man, then how can Jesus die since God can’t die?

If you’d like to submit your own question to be answered in church next weekend, then simply hit ‘reply’ to this email.

We’re really looking forward to seeing you this weekend!
