Names Of God: Adonai, God Our Master And Owner Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 1, 2022

The name Adonai occurs about 300 times in the Old Testament. Every time it’s used it’s written as a possessive plural form. So it could actually be read as “my Lords” which reminds us that God is a trinity, of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

"Servant" in our English New Testament usually represents the Greek doulos (bondslave). Sometimes it means diakonos (deacon or minister); this is strictly accurate, for doulos and diakonos are synonyms. Both words denote a man who is not at his own disposal, but is his master's ...read more

Looking at the story of Naaman the Leper from the Old Testament, we’ll examine what the world cannot do, and what humanity cannot heal, but Jesus can, as He forgives our sins and heals our relationship with God, bringing us back into harmony and unity with Him.

Unlocking The Mystery: Chosen To Explain - Ephesians 3:9 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 22, 2024

Today, we will take a peek into his life and discover some valuable lessons. In this passage, Paul is on a ship as a prisoner, ...read more
