Adonai speaks to God as being Lord and Master. He does own all of creation and by virtue of that, He does own us. When we refer to God as Lord (Adonai), we are acknowledging His authority over us.
The joy of God's Lordship in our lives is found in the fact that when we yield to His Lordship, He works in us and through to accomplish what we could never do on our own.
Adonai - Lord and Master

The Names Of God
El Shaddai
September 30, 2020 • Pastor Chad Thompson
El Shaddai is translated in our English bibles as "Almighty God." God is all powerful, and He uses His power to bless and bring bountifulness into our lives. We see this name introduced to Abraham in Genesis 17. God needed no help in fulfilling His promise to Abraham that he would be a father of a son and more than that, a father of many nations. At 100 years of age, Abraham saw El Shaddai bless him and Sarah by giving a son to two people who were as "good as dead."
El Elyon
September 23, 2020 • Pastor Chad Thompson
In life we can look before us and see problems and obstacles and difficulties and feel hopeless or hopeful. Know God as El Elyon, the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth, will lead us to be hopeful. Because God is El Elyon, He has the final say. He can rule and overrule anything. In Genesis 14, we find Abram responding to what appears to be a great difficulty with great hope. God (El Elyon) delivers his enemy into his hand, and Abram gives all the glory and credit to El Elyon.
El Roi
September 16, 2020 • Pastor Chad Thompson
El Roi is "the God who sees me." The LORD revealed that He is the God who sees us in our crises when He revealed Himself to Hagar in the wilderness. When she was at the end of rope and didn't know what to do or had any belief that anyone even cared about her, she found out that God cared. He wanted to direct her path and give her promises about her future and the future of her child. God sees us, our condition, and our future as it could be. He not only sees us, but He hears us. He hears our cries for help. He hears us in our affliction. God is faithful.
