Theology Proper: Names Of God Series

Contributed by Greg Brown on Aug 5, 2014

In the Scripture one's name is more than simply something you call someone, it is a reflection of their person--their character. By knowing the names of God, we can understand him better, and therefore, more fully worship and pray to him.

Names of God As we are seeking to know God more, one of the greatest ways to know God is by the names given in Scripture. In the ancient Hebrew culture, a name meant so much more than just what you called somebody, it reflected a person’s character. Satan means “opposer” or ...read more

Christmas - Part 1

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 9, 2020

Time and time again God tried to get His message of love through to His human creation with little response. Finally, when there was no other way, He wrapped up His message in person. Jesus was and is that message.

Paul, A Truly Blessed Man (Ephesians 3:1-14) Series
