Why are there so many names for God? Why is it important that we know what they are and what they mean? Our finite, human brains cannot fully comprehend the majesty and glory of who God is. Yet through the various names of God, He chooses to reveal Himself to us so we can come to understand the many personal characteristics of God. His names reveal His power, authority, and holiness. The better we understand and know the names of God the more personal He becomes to us and as we pray, we can call on His name that corresponds with our need. Finally, because the Bible instructs us to honor, fear, and respect God and to not use His name in vain, we need to know exactly what His names are and what they mean.
Today’s Name:
Do you ever look around and think this world is totally out of control? Whether you pick up a newspaper, watch the television, swipe your iphone or browse social media, you have a world in at state of chaos and confusion. From a global pandemic to earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods. From marriages that are casually tossed aside to families ripped apart with anger and jealousy. There a children killing the parents and parents killing their children. There is the threat of the economy collapsing and the rise of radical Islam.
But, when we come to understand El Elyon, we can be assured that there is someone who is completely and totally in charge. There is nothing that occurs in our world or even in our individual lives where God sits back on this throne and scratches his head and says, “Huh! I wasn’t expecting that one.” No, El Elyon is the sovereign ruler of the universe and He has everything under His control.
When El Elyon is on our side, nothing is impossible.
When we come to know El Elyon for who He is, we are humbled by his sovereignty.
When we come to meet El Elyon, we lift our eyes to heaven and bless His name and give Him praise and honor.
Even Satan admits that there is none greater than El Elyon when he declares in Isaiah 14:14, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
Father, show us who You are. Reveal to us why You are worthy of being called the One True, Living God. Teach us to unabashedly love you, respect Your name, and serve only You. Make your character known to us so we can live and walk in your image. Amen.

Yet through the various names of God, He chooses to reveal Himself to us so we can come to understand the many personal characteristics of God. His names reveal His power, authority, and holiness. The better we understand and know the names of God, the more personal He becomes to us and as we pray, we can call on His name that corresponds with our need. And because the Bible instructs us to honor, fear, respect God and to not take His name in vain, we need to know exactly what His names are and what they mean.
Today’s Name:
While Elohim created the heavens and the earth, no one created God. He just always has been and always will be. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is the eternal, supreme master over everything and everyone and He chooses to reveal Himself to us so that we might know Him. This name of God which (by Jewish tradition) is too holy to voice, is actually spelled “YHWH” without vowels. While YHWH is first used in Genesis 2, God did not reveal Himself as YHWH until Exodus 3. The modern spelling as “Yahweh” includes vowels to assist in pronunciation. Many pronounce YHWH as “Yahweh” or “Jehovah.” We no longer know for certain the exact pronunciation. During the third century A.D., the Jewish people stopped saying this name in fear of breaking the commandment “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain” (Exd 20:7). As a result of this, Adonai is occasionally a substitute for YHWH.
Father, show us who You are. Reveal to us why You are worthy of being called the One True, Living God. Teach us to unabashedly love you, respect Your name, and serve only You. Make your character known to us so we can live and walk in your image. Amen.

Sometimes hope becomes so real that it’s almost tangible. But other times–especially when tragedy or hardship crashes down on us–we wonder whether our hopes will break down apart and leave us exposed, vulnerable and overwhelmed. These studies explore both sides of hope–confronting doubts and fears, but reminding us of the great joy that awaits us in Jesus Christ. 8 studies for individuals or groups with notes for leaders.
Adapted from Patsy’s book All Cracked Up!, Finding God in the Broken Places helps women see that even in the midst of pain, a fractured life can be a happy life. Using her characteristic humor, she shares how we can move from broken to bedazzled by embracing our fragments and resting in the assurance that we have a Savior who knows how to piece them back together again. Includes 12 weeks of study, discussion/reflection questions, and a facilitator’s guide.
Are you desperate to experience the hope of Christ in the everyday?

Exploring God’s Word in as few as 15 minutes a day, you’ll learn more about His promises as they apply to you now and in the everyday moments to come.
When your journey through life comes to a series of ups and downs, holding on and sustaining the ride can be tough. This study, excerpted from Joe Stowell’s book The Upside of Down, offers you hope and encouragement. You’ll explore the seven different types of trials and gain a better understanding of why God allows them. Discover how you can stay the course and respond to challenges through the confidence of God’s Word. Six Studies for Groups or Individuals.
In this booklet you’ll study five of the prophets who ministered to both the northern and southern kingdoms before the exile of the southern kingdom to Babylon. Though God commissioned His prophets to preach unique messages to different audiences, He gave them a common theme—hope when life seems dark. As you study these, you too will find hope. Group or individual study includes a daily guide to help you discover truth for yourself, questions for discussion, a thought for the week, and a memory challenge.

And because the Bible instructs us to honor, fear, respect God and to not take His name in vain, we need to know exactly what His names are and what they mean.
Today’s Name:
Elohim is the Creator of mountains and valleys, sunshine and darkness, earthquakes and droughts, lions and lambs…and even snakes and spiders. All that exists is because Elohim said, “Let there be…” As you see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, a beautiful starry night, or are captivated by flashes of lightening in the sky, or see a rare bird, or are fascinated by anything God created, stop for a moment and praise Elohim for His creation that came to be through just His spoken word. When we pray to Elohim, we remember that He is the one who began it all as started out with absolutely nothing to create the heavens and the earth, then He separated light from darkness, water from dry land, night from day. He gathered the waters together so dry land appeared and He gave it plants. He hung the sun, moon, stars, and planets in place. He added the flying creatures and the sea creatures. He filled the earth with all the animals and for the final touch, He created man in His own image. This ancient name for God contains the idea of God’s creative power as well as His total and complete authority and sovereignty. Because the word is plural, it also informs of us the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Father, show us who You are. Reveal to us why You are worthy of being called the One True, Living God. Teach us to unabashedly love you, respect Your name, and serve only You. Make your character known to us so we can live and walk in your image. Amen.
