The Bible describes at least four ways that Jehovah Shammah is present. This name means “God is there”:

Jehovah Shammah is Jesus.

We will see God as El Shaddai at the moment we realize that we are not happy and when we admit we are helpless. When we are empty, God is enough!

Whenever you see the word LORD in all capital letters, it’s the name Yahweh. This name is used over 6,800 times in the Old Testament

As a way to set this name apart from any other name, when it was written the scribes used four consonants and left out the vowels, so that people would not inadvertently take it in vain: Y_H_W_H. This name is also translated as Jehovah.

We know from the Bible that God loves to meet the needs of His people. He counts every hair on our heads and he sees the sparrows that fall to the ground. And because of that, He will take care of us (Matthew 10:29-30).

Since there is no single English word that communicates the richness of Shalom, we need to study some synonyms to grasp the broad spectrum of its meaning. The general idea is of completion and fulfillment and brings with it the sense of wholeness and harmony in relationships, especially with God.

The name we’re going to get to know today is “Adonai.” It’s used over 300 times in the Old Testament and is a bit difficult to see in our English Bibles because many translations use two different renderings of the same name to make a distinction between “Yahweh” and “Adonai.” Jehovah appears with capital letters: “LORD” and Adonai is “Lord” with one capital and the rest in lowercase.

Today we’re going to look at His very first name as found in the very first verse in the very first book of the Bible. It’s the name “Elohim.”

The average man and woman in America speaks 16,000 words a day. That’s a whole lot of potential to build a life that lasts with the words we speak.

As your pastor, whenever I talk about money, I want to make sure that you understand I want something for you not from you. The way we see this message is really setting the tone for how we view money for the rest of our lives. So, I want to show you what the Bible says about how to win with our money.

You’re not an accident, a series of random events, your life is not a sum of all the mistakes that you’ve made. You are a work of art to God. He wants to work in you so that He can work through you. Ephesians 2:10 says, for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
