To see what kind of mindset you have, ask yourself these questions:

that help us appreciate our God.
This morning, we're only going to look at two words...
two words from the first verse...
Because these two words, are the most important words
you'll ever see in the Bible...

Let's do a little Bible research for just a moment...
The word Yahweh or Jehovah,
occurs some 6,823 times in the Bible.
And did you know that the Hebrews considered
this Name so holy that they would not even pronounce it,
nor would they even write it out,
because they feared that th ...
