Elohim - The One and Only God

May 5, 2024 • Joey Rodgers • Genesis 1:1

Give

In Genesis 1:1, the Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth. God is named here as Elohim, one of the 900+ names for God in the Bible. Elohim means the one and only infinite, all-powerful. God declared His name to make it clear that He’s the one and only, eternal, and triune Creator. As the crowning achievement in His creation, we are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image for a purpose so that we might have a relationship with Him.

Jehovah Rohi

July 21, 2024 • Jacob Sparks • Psalm 23

Jehovah Rohi We’ve been studying the different names of God found in the Old Testament through our series God Has a Name. In our final week of the series, we look to one of the most popular Psalms. Psalm 23 speaks of comfort, reassurance, and God’s provision for His people. God is Jehovah Rohi – The Lord is My Shepherd.

Jehovah Shammah

July 14, 2024 • Joey Rodgers • Ezekiel 48:35

Have you ever been blamed for something you had nothing to do with? God gets blamed all the time for things He’s had nothing to do with, leaving people with the wrong idea about who He is. God doesn’t want to be the God who exists afar, He wants to be present in our lives where He will always be with us so that He can live through us. Watch as we explore who He is through the final name mentioned in the Old Testament, Jehovah Shammah – The Lord is THERE.

Jehovah Mekadesh

July 7, 2024 • Cedric Beckles • Leviticus 20:7–8

What was Israel to be like in their relationship to God? How were they supposed to live? How could they maintain their distinctive qualities as a people related to God when they settled in a land inhabited by pagan nations who did not know God? These questions are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. In the book of Leviticus, we see the walk and worship of the redeemed and are first introduced to the name Jehovah Mekadesh – The God who Sanctifies. While this name often gets overlooked in the English Bible, there is no other name for God that adequately expresses His nature and the requirements He places on His people.
