Trusting in the Name(s) of God – Introduction

NAMES ARE IMPORTANT IN THE BIBLE:

  1. Many examples: Eve, Abram, Sarai, Moses, John the Baptist, Jesus
  2. In Hebrew culture an individual’s name was intended to reflect character or expectations – in retrospect, in that moment or in future expectation.

OUR STUDY OF THE “NAMES” OF GOD

  1. One name is WHO or WHAT He is – “God”
  2. One is His PROPER NAME – YHWH / Jehovah – “I Am That I Am” (6,000+ times in OT as “LORD.” Not same as “Lord”)
  3. Many more are titles or descriptions of His character and nature – Holy, Almighty, Lord, etc.
  4. These names, titles and descriptions have been revealed to us by Him so we can know without doubt WHO He is and WHY we can trust in Him.

At present many wonder why we are seeing the majority of our own youth abandoning their faith as they leave home. Perhaps it is because they have no deep conviction about the existence of God and the absolute necessity of seeking Him with all their hearts and lives (Hebrews 11:6).

Audio Series: “Portraits of Jesus” Available

By in News, Series

Without argument, more paintings, drawings, images and statues have been made of Jesus than of any other person who has ever lived! Early catacomb images pictured Him with short hair and clean-shaven. Western artists of the Middle Ages up until today give Him longer hair, a beard, and more Western European features. But the truth is, the eye-witness records do not give us one shred of evidence about his actual appearance. Why? The answer is not clear. But this is clear: the gospel writers were not interested in what He looked like – they wanted everyone to know what He WAS like! Welcome to our study entitled, “Portraits of Jesus.”
