Sorry for doing two sermon blog posts in a row, but when inspiration hits, I must listen haha. My church's pastor has been going through a series on the names of God called "What's God's Name?" and it has been a huge encouragement and very convicting as well. Several of the names were ones I had never even heard of before, while others were familiar. Nonetheless, each service unfolded a name of God in a way I had never heard before, and really opened my eyes to a whole new view of God, as He reveals Himself to us in Scripture. I would really, strongly encourage you to listen to even just one of these sermons per week. Make it a habit, and you will not regret it. I also thought I'd share the definitions of each name, as well as where they can be found in the Bible, so that you can do a study on your own time. Maybe highlight them and write some notes in a journal or your Bible. I hope you enjoy and put to good use these resources!😘
