Experiencing the Manifold Grace of God
I can't believe we made it to our last week of study. What an absolute joy it has been to dive deep into the names of God with you. I feel like He has orchestrated every detail of this study, not only in the timing and order of the names, but in the relevance they've [...]
We will begin this week's study with Jehovah Shalom: The LORD is Peace. It has been estimated that out of approximately 4,300 years of recorded history, there were around 300-500 years of peace, approximately 10.000-14,000 wars, which killed roughly 200-500 million people. Approximately 6,000 to 8,000 peace treaties were made, many of which were broken. [...]
"Only a few weeks had elapsed from the time the children of Israel left Marah, the place of bitter waters, till they reached Rephidim, the scene of Jehovah's revelation of Himself to them as Jehovah-Nissi, Jehovah my banner.

This week, we turn our attention to Abraham, whose story is foundational in our study of the Names of God. Last week, we were introduced to the Creator Elohim, the Mighty God who has no beginning and no end. Because He is Elohim, He is also El Elyon: God Most High, "Possessor of heaven and [...]
Dear friends, I am thrilled to embark on a study of the Names of God with you. Proverbs 18:10 says, "The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous run into it and are safe" (NASB95). He is our refuge! God's names reveal His character. As we grow in the knowledge of who [...]
What a journey this has been! It is bittersweet to write this, as it is the final post for our End Times Study. Thank you to everyone who joined me over the last eighteen months. It has been one of the most challenging, yet meaningful experiences of my life and has brought me great joy. [...]
