THE NAME November 27, 2020

Name of God

There is no name like the name of our great God! The apostles said of the name of Jesus, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). We are told in Philippians 2:9, “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.” I say again: There is no name like THE NAME!

The varied names and titles of God found throughout Scripture are full of meaning. They are more than identification – they are a revelation of the very character of our Lord. The name of God is connected to the nature of God.

As we begin this season of celebrating the birth of Christ it is important to remember that Christ did not begin in Bethlehem and that the Bible is a progressive revelation of the one, true and living God. The Jehovah of the Old Testament was revealed in the Jesus of the New Testament. From Genesis to Revelation the LORD is simply helping us to know Himself.

We took 30 studies to examine THE NAME of God found in the Word of God. It cannot be exhaustive but I hope it will open your understanding to the power of THE NAME and help you to love Him more than ever. Here is a general overview of our study:

  • Week 1 – THE NAME of God and how to use it
  • Week 2-3 – THE NAME of Jehovah
  • Week 4 – THE NAME of the Lord Jesus Christ
  • Week 5 – THE NAME of our Father
  • Week 6 – THE NAME of the Holy Spirit

I hope you will plan to join us for every study! Invite your family and friends to join you and let’s discover again the power of THE NAME. Click HERE to access all 30 studies or listen in the player below.

M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE).  We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.
