We Are Emmanuel

In this sermon, Neville Jones explores Exodus 19, emphasising that God’s law was not given to save the Israelites, but to shape them into His “treasured possession,” a holy nation, and a kingdom of priests. He draws parallels to Christians today, stressing that salvation comes through grace, not rule-keeping, and that obedience to God’s instructions flows from love and relationship, not obligation. The law, reinterpreted as God’s blueprint for living, helps foster intimacy with God, create a distinct Christ-centred community, and reveal Jesus to the world through transformed lives lived in unity.
