Experiencing God as...Adonai (12 of 14)
by David Davis
As you look at the life of Abram...you need to see that from Genesis 14 - Abram has a religion. It is an awareness of God that has caused him to follow God. He has made his share of mistakes, but he had done pretty well. In Genesis 17 - things have radically changed for Abram. He has something more than just mere religion. He has a relationship with God. The God that was known to him is now alive in him. The God who called for his dedicated service before is a God who is literally performing a miracle in the body of Abram and Sarai. What made the difference? In between Genesis 15 and Genesis 17...Abram came...
Adonai (5 of 15)
by Ernest Easley
Now as we continue our series on the names of God under the heading: WHAT A WONDERFUL NAME, take your Bible and turn with me to Genesis 15 where we find another descriptive name used for God. Before we start reading in Genesis 15, how many of you have ever played the game, ''Name that Tune?'' You know, you hear a few lines of a song and have to guess the name of it. The first one to yell out the name: wins. Well, don't panic, we're not playing it tonight but we are playing the game, ''Name that Spy.'' Have you ever played that game? You probably have not because I just created it. But you play it the...
Adonai: The Lord
by David Cawston
Before you can ever really know God as the El Shadai, the All-Sufficient One, you must come to know Him as Adonai, your Lord and Master. Do you realize how many people are disappointed with their Christianity? It does not seem to satisfy so they give themselves temporal things. Look at those who claim to be children of God. How many individuals do you see who live by Philippians 1:21? ''For me to live as Christ and to die is gain.'' Why are there so few? Commitment to the will of God ought to be the norm for every one of His children. The study of His name, Adonai, and the scriptures that relate to Him as Lord talk to you...
King Of Kings (1 of 3)
by Stephen Whitney
Men have always sought power over other men. Individuals have wanted to be in control and rule over others. Some have wanted power to help others, but most of the time men have wanted power to control the lives of others for their own good. In the middle ages the kings of Europe developed a doctrine called the Divine Right of Kings which stated that a king ruled according to the will of God, not the will of his subjects or parliament or any other authority, but God himself. This doctrine also claimed that any attempt to depose a king or to restrict his powers was opposed to the will of God. King James...
God's Forever Name (1 of 8)
by Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bibles please turn to Exodus chapter 3. We're going to start a new series today entitled "What is His Name?" Now names are an interesting thing. Many parents when they're getting ready to have a baby they will agonize over what name to name their child. Debbie and I went through all sorts of names you know we got the book The Baby Names and went how does this sound? And then you have family names should we have a family name in there? And we spent a lot of time thinking about names, the meaning of names, unless you're Frank Zappa and you name your kid Moon Unit and Weevil, you didn't think a lot...
That Name above All Names
by Daniel Rodgers
We've often heard it said, ''There is something in a name.'' I think that's true. It is especially true with Jesus. The truth of the matter is that there are over 256 names given in the Bible for Jesus. Just to mention a few; He is called the Advocate, Amen, Branch, Bread of Life, Bridegroom, Bright and Morning Star, Chief Shepherd, Consolation of Israel, Counsellor, Day Spring, Day Star, Faithful and True, King of Glory, Lamb of God, Potentate, Prince of Peace, Rose of Sharon, Shiloh, Wonderful...and many others. To me, there is one name that stands out above the others; it is the name, Jesus. HYMN: My...
The Name Above Every Name
by J. Gerald Harris
Shakespeare asks the question, "What's in a name?" It's a good question. Did you know that up until about the 1100s most people only had one name? It was only beginning in about 1100 that we started talking about surnames or second names. The Bible gives one name to people, and often identifies people by their parentage. For example, in the Bible it is Abraham the son of Terah; it is Moses the son of Amram; it is Joshua the son of Nun; and it is David the son of Jesse. You see, in the culture in which Jesus lived, and the culture in which Jesus was named, names had significance. In other words, a child was to...
The Sovereignty of God (8 of 12)
by Stan Coffey
When we say that God is in control, theologians call this the sovereignty of God; that God is in control of everything; that God is on the throne, that beyond everything we see and behind everything we see that we do not understand there is the providence and the purpose of God who is in control of everything. For example, God is in control for nature; He is sovereign over nature because He created nature and He sustains nature. God is sovereign over history. The Bible teaches that history is moving toward a purpose, the things that are happening in the world today, the fall of Communism, the opening of Eastern Europe to...
The Promise of God's Sovereignty (3 of 12)
by David Cawston
"All Things" There is nothing that God is not in working His purpose out in your life and providing a answer. I. The Basis of God's Sovereignty! Foreknowledge! 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. God has been in your tomorrows! II. Purpose of the Event! "...he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son..." A. All events happen to develop your maturity! James 1:2-4 2 Consider it pure...
God's Sovereignty in His People and World (13 of 14)
by Patrick Edwards
We've all got our wind-down evening routines. You know, those things we do, not just to finish up the day, but to help us unwind and get ready to fall asleep. I had a friend in college who always washed their feet right before bed. I mean, sure it's nice to have clean feet to put in your bed, but they did it mostly because it was relaxing; it really helped them fall asleep. If you're my wife, it's checking her phone in bed. Boy nothing puts her to sleep so quickly as lying in bed, with her phone in her hands. I have to take it out of her hands each night and put it away for her. That's part of my wind-down routine. The bedrock of my routine...
What the Cross Says About God's Sovereignty (5 of 6)
by Jonathan McLeod
This Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men (v. 23). 1. On the human level, JUDAS gave Jesus up to the PRIESTS, who gave him up to PILATE, who gave him up to the SOLDIERS, who crucified him. "The one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, 'What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?' And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him" (Matt. 26:14-16). "So when [the priests] had gathered, Pilate said to them, 'Whom do you want...
The Names Of God
by Jesse Hendley
We found out that when true scientists admit they do not know a thing to be positively true, they say, "We believe," and speak roughly of time, and so forth. That is a truly scientific attitude because science deals with proven facts. A thing is not scientific if it isn't absolute fact, and if it isn't fact, then they must present it as theory. So let's remember that in reading current so called scientific articles. Now we take up the next word in Genesis 1:1 as we study the story of creation in this great first chapter of Genesis. We read, "In the beginning God." Isn't that wonderful? What a wonderful assurance, as we turn from reading...
God’s Place in Our Lives...Adonai (11 of 14)
by David Davis
The name - Adonai - can be properly translated as...Lord. This means that we must consider the ''place'' of God in our lives. Many people who call themselves Christians today have never come to the place where they have met God as Adonai. They have never fully surrendered themselves to Jesus Christ as Lord. Billy Graham's office once said that over 85 percent of the people making decisions for Christ as their personal Savior and Lord were...prior to that night...already members of a Christian church somewhere. They had a ''proper religion'' -but they did not have a ''personal relationship'' with God through Jesus...
The One And Only (4 Of 18)
by Jerry Vines
I'm in a series of messages which I have called life works. In this book it sets forth the fullness of Jesus Christ and our completeness in Him. We really learn how life works. As I was praying and preparing I asked the Lord what He would have me to preach. He said, ''Why don't you just preach to the preachers what you do to your folks on Sunday.'' So, you are going to just get what the home folks get in our series of messages in the book of Colossians. I was in a bookstore sometime ago and I ran across a book entitled, One Jesus, Many Christs. I have thought that this book's title pretty well reflects the religious atmosphere...
