Seeing The Unseen Christ

Move your entire congregation to experience the transforming presence of the risen Lord by "Seeing The Unseen Christ" in church on Sundays and beyond. They'll develop a whole new outlook toward Sundays and everyday when they learn to capture a deeper perspective on Christ's active, living presence among us.

When we see Christ present on Sundays we will:

• Worship him with genuine enthusiasm
• Lavish his love on others
• Embrace righteousness and renounce evil
• Serve him with gratitude and eagerness
• Surrender to the truth of God's Word
• Experience the privilege of authentic prayer
• Delight in introducing him to others
• Celebrate God's gift of life at its best

That's what this preaching series is all about - experiencing the joy of Christmas by opening your heart to this season of wonder.
