Continuing our series on the names of God, Rana Kundi speaks on Jehovah-Rohi; the Lord is my shepherd looking at Psalm 23.

Rana Kundi looks at a biblical theology of love and sex.

Behold, you are beautiful, my love,    behold, you are beautiful!Your eyes are doves    behind your veil.Your hair is like a flock of goats    leaping down the slopes of Gilead.2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes    that have come up from the washing,all of which bear twins,    and not one among them has lost its young.3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread,    and your mouth is lovely.Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate    behind your veil.4 Your neck is like the tower of David,    built in rows of stone;[a]on it hang a thousand shields,    all of them shields of warriors.5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,    twins of a gazelle,    that graze among the lilies.6 Until the day breathes    and the shadows flee,I will go away to the mountain of myrrh    and the hill of frankincense.7 You are altogether beautiful, my love;    there is no flaw in you.16 Awake, O north wind,    and come, O south wind!Blow upon my garden,    let its spices flow.Song of Solomon 4:1-16

Looking at the story of Esther, Bina Makgwana speaks on being crowned with a servant heart.

If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?”Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:  “Go and gather together all the Jews of Susa and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will do the same. And then, though it is against the law, I will go in to see the king. If I must die, I must die.”Esther 4:14-16

During our monthly all-age service, One Big Church, we we look at three names of God in the Bible; Jehovah Raah, Jehovah Nissi and Jehovah Shammah and what they mean to us today.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower;    the righteous man runs into it and is safe.Proverbs 18:10
