The Name Above Every Name (8 of 15)
Series: Studies In Philippians
Dr. Stan Coffey
If you have your Bible I want us to again turn to the book of Philippians 2:9-11. I would like to speak today on the subject, "The Name Above Every Name." We are going to lift up His name a little while this morning in praise as we study the Word of God.

And the name of Billy Graham makes us think of evangelism and of thousands of people coming to know Jesus Christ as Savior. Names do mean something.
And you know you ought to put a high value on your name. On what people think of when your name is mentioned. The Bible says a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches. But today, I want to lift up the greatest name, the name which is the ...
