The Connection Church

People around the world call God many different names. But as Christians, what do we call Him? The Lord Jesus said in John 17:3, “And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.” The many names of God we find in Scripture constitute additional revelation of the true God’s character, His works, and His relationship to us. Studying the names which God chose for Himself helps us to know and relate to God in ways we didn’t before. Join us as we continue the sermon series, “What Do We Call Him? A Study of the Names of God.”

The importance of studying the names of God cannot be undersold. These names give a deeper revelation into His character and allow us a window to see His disposition towards us. Matthew Henry said it best, “The better God is known, the more He is trusted. The more God is trusted, the more He is sought after. God never did, nor ever will, disown or desert any that duly seek Him and trust in Him.” Join us as we continue the sermon series, “What Do We Call Him? A Study of the Names of God.”

For many of us, names are just names. They hold little weight or significance. However, in Scripture, the names of God are like miniature portraits and promises. In Scripture, a person’s name identified them and represented something specific. This is especially true of God. The value of studying the names of God cannot be undersold. These divine names open a deeper revelation into His character and allow us a glimpse of how He feels towards us. Join us for the introduction to “What Do We Call Him? A Study of the Names of God.”

Over the last few weeks, we have focused on how to receive the blessing. We discussed the habits of highly blessed people. We explored ways to position ourselves for blessing through obedience, prayer, thanksgiving, and a willingness to fight for our birthright. Now that we are blessed. What’s next?

There are moments in life, often when all seems lost, when what you need is some fight. In those times, you shouldn’t take no for an answer. God’s promises are yes and amen, but sometimes you have to do more than simply believe. You have to be willing to enter the struggle and fight. Once you are on the receiving end of God’s grace, you want to give God everything you’ve got! If you are in Christ, every blessing in the Bible belongs to you. Don’t let the enemy rob you of a single one! 

Many Christians believe they can’t be blessed by God because He is upset or mad at them. However, is this really God’s heart towards His people? The answer is an emphatic, no! When we truly believe that God loves us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), we break hindrances to the flow of blessings that God wants to pour out on us.

In this next part of our series “Blessed To Be A Blessing,” we unpack a sixfold blessing found in the book of Numbers to which every believer has the privilege of attaining. In this, we can and will see the true heart of God towards His people. When we truly believe that nothing can separate us from the love of God, we break hindrances to the flow of blessings that God wants to pour out on us. 

Many Christians believe they don’t “deserve” to be blessed by God. But “deserve” has no bearing on whether or not God blesses someone. We don’t serve a God that discriminates, so He just pours out His blessing on those who have positioned themselves to receive it. This Sunday, in the next part of our series, Blessed To Be A Blessing, we will continue to talk about how we can position ourselves to stay under the umbrella of God’s blessing.

God has blessings for us in categories we can’t even conceive. If we are going to live the happy, healthy, and holy life God has called us to, we must position ourselves to receive it. God is in the blessing business! And as His children, blessing is our birthright. Join us to explore some of the habits of highly blessed people, as we continue our newest sermon series, Blessed To Be A Blessing.

As God’s child, blessing is your birthright! Many Christians believe that they are undeserving of God’s blessing, or they believe that seeking blessing is wrong or selfish. But you don’t have to settle for half of what God offers because the endgame isn’t about getting; it’s giving—giving to others! As Mark Batterson once said, “God doesn’t bless us to just raise our standard of living. He blesses us to raise our standard of giving.” Discover how you can both get it and give it…how you can be Blessed To Be A Blessing!
