Unveiled Faces Emmanuel Church Lurgan

This morning Dave starts off our new series “Unveiled Faces"

This morning Phil continues on with the Series “Unveiled Faces”. God, the origin of Holiness. When it comes to the Christian faith, a religious system centered on surrendering your life to a God whom you cannot see, touch or hear, imagination becomes an important thing. To enable us to imagine, God has given us a dual sight system. We not only see physical things with our physical eyes, but we have another set of eyes: the eyes of the heart. God has given us this set of eyes, so we can "see" the unseen world of spiritual reality.

Is it possible that many believers live their Christian lives missing the main point of why they have been redeemed? They forget the fuel that makes it all work, and then they wonder why they crash and burn.

The question is: How do we live the Christian life without crashing? How do we maintain a dynamic spiritual vitality without burning out? In other words, how do we get the fuel to soar spiritually?

In this message we look at five questions that Paul asks the churches in Galatia, to challenge them to keep going and not slip back to old mindsets and systems.

Today we continued our “Unveiled Faces” theme by exploring Colossians 1, where Paul paints a beautiful picture of Christ. This Christ as we behold His glory, has reconciled us. This morning Dave explored the story of redemption and what we have been restored/reconciled to in Christ, image bearers and co-partners with God.

Covenant. There are many rivers of truth in the scriptures but there are none deeper than this one. One which all others flow out of. Moses saw a river in the garden breaking into four and blessing the whole earth. John saw a river in Revelation 21, the completion of the Everlasting Covenant. The word covenant has lost its meaning. It meant promise, commitment, involvement, faithfulness and loyalty even to death. This morning we look at, A COVENANT MAKING GOD; A COVENANT KEEPING GOD; A COVENANT REVEALING GOD; A COVENANT ENABLING GOD.

Dave continues on with his sermon that he preached a couple of weeks ago on the ministry of reconciliation. Today we hear the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 5, where he tells us that we have now been entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation. This morning we explore what this practically looks like in our lives.
