This Is Our God: Jehovah Shalom

Text: Judges 6:23-24

As we continue in our series on the names of God, we now come to Jehovah Shalom: The LORD is Peace. This week’s message shows us that no matter the “noise” in our lives, God is our source of peace. Jehovah Shalom desires to step in between you and the noises that threatened to drown out His voice as He speaks words of comfort, life, love, and assurance to you . . . but we have to be willing to listen, we have to be willing to act in faith, we have to be willing to move from hostility to hope — put your trust in Jehovah Shalom!

This Is Our God: “Jehovah M’kaddesh: The Lord Who Sanctifies”

Text: Leviticus 22:31-33

Each of the names of God reveals something unique about His character and nature. This week’s message points us to the fact that God is the one who sanctifies. He sanctifies us at the moment of salvation, and this moment impacts the way we live the rest of the moments of our lives. When we believe in Jesus and repent of our sins, God declares us holy and set apart, and now it is the calling of the Christian to devote ourselves to living this out in our everyday lives. We invite you to listen to this message to consider the depths of God’s holiness and discern the steps He is leading you to take to grow in holiness today.

This Is Our God: “Jehovah Nissi: The Lord Our Banner”

Text: Exodus 17:1-16 (ESV)

God introduces Himself to Israel as Jehovah Nissi – God Our Banner – in Exodus 17. Picturing God as a flag or a signal pole may not have much significance for many of us, but this name is a declaration of God’s provision and protection in our lives. In our hardships and battles, God is our source. This is seen most poignantly at the cross where Jesus died for our sins. At the cross, God secured the greatest victory for us by providing forgiveness for our sins and protection from sin’s power. We invite you to listen today to find the provision, protection, and victory that is only found in turning to Jesus our Savior.

This Is Our God: “Jehovah Rapha: The Lord Who Heals”

Text: Exodus 15:20-27

In Exodus 15 God introduces Himself to the Israelites as Jehovah Rapha – The Lord Who Heals. Many find great encouragement in the reality that God has all power and that He is the true source of our healing. However, there are also many who take offense at this statement because they have been hurt when God didn’t heal in the way they anticipated or desired. This message explains what it means to know God as our healer and reveals how He works even through diseases and sicknesses to accomplish His plan. While He has the power to heal all things, and often does, He also graciously provides us with the help we need to persevere in every situation. We invite you to listen today to find the help, hope, and healing found only in Jesus.
