Our weekend services are at 5pm Saturday and 9am Sunday at 45 Churchill Street, Jamberoo.
Coming up this weekend 18th – 19th March 2017
This weekend we continue our five-week series looking at the five Solas of the Reformation called ‘Five Foundations’. This week, Jodie will be speaking on the topic ‘Christ alone’.
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:
- 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?
- If God is present with us in church, where would he sit?
- 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?
- 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?
- How is Anglican infant baptism different to Roman Catholic infant baptism?
- When Jesus takes someone’s sins, doesn’t that make him imperfect?
- 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?
- Does ‘Hell’ really exist and what is ‘Sheol’?
- Where did Jesus go after he died on the cross, before he rose from the dead?
- Since the Bible says that we should count our conversions in Heaven, doesn’t this mean that Rugby is the game played in Heaven?
If you’re wanting to check out our church we’d really love you to visit us on Saturday at 5pm for a contemporary service with kids’ program and dinner afterwards, or come along on Sunday at 8am for a Prayer Book service.
Coming up this weekend 11th – 12th March 2017
This weekend we continue our five-week series looking at the five Solas of the Reformation called ‘Five Foundations’. This week, Simon Chaplin will be speaking on the topic ‘Grace alone’.
At our 5pm Saturday service we will have an opportunity to meet one of our church members, which is always a great encouragement to us all.
Our 8am Sunday service will be a Holy Communion First Order AAPB service.
During our service, we’ll have our weekly question and answer time, and Jodie will be answering these questions:
- What did the Roman Catholic Church teach that was incorrect?
- Can a priest ever reveal what is said in a confession in the Roman Catholic Church?
- Given that Jesus said ‘love those who persecute you,’ was it a sin for a Catholic leader to kill the Reformation leader Huldrych Zwingli?
- If God is in control, why is the world in such conflict?
- Since God is always with us, why does that Bible say that he is present in a special way when two or more believers come together?
- Why should people pray for things to happen when God is in control of everything? And if more people pray the same thing will that persuade God more?
- How is it possible that ‘nothing is against us’ when there is still sin, persecution and Satan messing things up?
- Why did Jesus change Simon’s name to Peter?
- Is it right to call justification a ‘nerd word’ when it’s clearly expressed in the Bible?

We will also share the Lord’s Supper at 5pm Saturday, so be sure to join us for this important reminder of the death of Jesus.
Our 8am Sunday service will be a Morning Prayer AAPB service.
During our service, we’ll have our weekly question and answer time, and Jodie will be answering these questions:
- Given that God hates divorce, should someone who is abused remain in their marriage?
- What books would you recommend as an introduction to The Reformation?
- What happened to Martin Luther?
- Why did some writings get included in the Bible and not others?
- Does the Bible tell us whether or not we should stand up when we sing?
- Why would God command humans to fill and subdue the earth, when subduing the earth means ruling it, which is God’s job, not ours?
- If adding extra words to The Bible will get us into trouble, then how does that work with the Trinity?
- Hebrews 6:4-6 says it’s impossible for those who have fallen away to receive repentance again, but doesn’t God forgive all sins, if we truly repent?
- Is there a difference between tithes and offering, and what are the principles today for giving?
- Can we print these questions in the bulletin each week?
