Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - 1 Samuel 17 (Isaiah 1:24; 44:6; Zechariah 9:15; 10:3; Luke 2:13; 1 Kings 22:19; 2 Kings 6:15-17; Exodus 14:13-14; 15:3 & 6-7; 1 Samuel 17:4, 23, 26, 32, 45-46, 48-52; 1 Chronicles 11:9; Romans 8:31; Psalms 91:11 & 14-15)
Through the names of God, we learn how to call upon God. When we are in need, we call upon Him as Jehovah Jireh...the God who Provides! When we feel alone, we call upon El Roi, the God who sees us! When we are hurting, we call upon Jehovah Rapha.
Who do you call on when you are in a spiritual battle? Our God is Jehovah Sabaoth! Do you know what this name means? It is a name of God that deals with us facing the enemy and war. It is a powerful name that means so much when you feel overwhelmed in the battles of life.
Bible study description:
Knowing someone's name is the very start of getting to know someone. It is what we use to call out to someone to get their attention. It is how we identify someone.
Our God has many names. Each name of God reveals to us His character, His nature, and His attributes. Knowing His names brings us into a deeper relationship with Him because it allows us to know Him on a deeper level.
When we know His names, we can then call out to Him using His names. There is a reason that our God has so many names...there is power in the name of our God! Do you know our God by His names?
