Dale Carnegie once said that, “A person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” Our name is the word for who we are, it is the symbol of our identity. In Scripture, names have huge significance because they provide such a critical clue to who we are. Think of names like Abraham, Isaac, or the most important name of all – Emmanuel - that spoke to who the person was and how they would act in the world.Most of us carry around names beyond the one we were given when we were born. Some are good, and some are not so good. These are things we believe about ourselves based on what we’ve experienced or what we’ve been told. This week we will wrap up our summer series with a message entitled In Search of a New Name and will look at how God will give us an identity rooted in the work and righteousness of Jesus.
