When we see the American flag displayed, we recognize it as a symbol of freedom. It represents America, our nation, our freedom, and the land that we love. When we go to the Olympics, every country proudly runs into the stadium waving their flag, as a way to announce which country they are representing. This concept is in scripture as well.
During a great war that God's people were facing, Moses declared the Lord was their banner! We serve, live, and fight under the banner of our great God! When Satan's army sees us coming, they know that they are not at war with us, but with the God that we all serve. Our God is Jehovah Nissi! He is our Banner!

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Genesis 22 (Genesis 22:1-19; James 2:20-26; Hebrews 11:1-2 & 17-19; Joshua 3:15-16)
 
In Genesis 22, we learn another name of God that comes from a complicated situation. Abraham is instructed to do something that would take a huge step of faith.
It is easy to say that we have faith in God, but God calls us to take action steps of faith. Faith is more than words, it is acting out our trust in God. When we do, we will discover that God is Jehovah Jireh! God has already gone before us to provide! He will never let us down!

The names of God that we have studied so far speak and explain the greatness of God. The next name of God describes our reaction to His greatness. It is more than acknowledging that we serve a great God, it is responding with submission to His authority and power. 
We will go back to Genesis to discover the significance to the name, Adonai!
