Who is God: Immanuel: God With Us

When God pledged to be our Immanuel, He promised to redeem and restore us, no matter what we’ve done.  To be with us, no matter the enemies and struggles we might face.  To be our sufficiency.

Who is God: Immanuel: The Promise

God’s New Covenant was revealed in stages, with hints and glimpses scattered throughout the Old Testament.  Its complete fulfillment was in our Lord Jesus Christ, Who was more than God with us – He was God in us.

Who is God: Joshua, Yeshua, Jesus (Part 2)

The angel revealed to Mary and Joseph much about Who Jesus is and what He will do.  As son of the Most High, He will reign forever as king.  And as Messiah, He will save His people from their sins.

Who is God: Joshua, Yeshua, Jesus (Part 1)

Warrior.  Shepherd.  Leader.  Man of deep faith in God.  All these, and more, describe Joshua, a stunning type of the ultimate Yeshua, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Who is God: El Shaddai (Part 2)

We may wander and stray, but the heart of El Shaddai toward us never changes.  When we choose to live face to face with Him, He promises to make us complete and to supply all our needs, so that we lack nothing.

Who is God: El Shaddai (Part 1)

This name, above all others, shows the heart of our all-sufficient God toward His children.  When we are weak and vulnerable, He is our nurturing, comforting El Shaddai, the One Who promises to meet all our needs.

Who is God: Prince of Peace

Safety, welfare, contentment, and completeness are all wrapped up in the word peace.  When God gives us His peace, He gives us the Person of Peace, Jesus Christ.  And through Him, we can cast our concerns in the lap of our God and enjoy His rest.

Who is God: Wonderful Counselor

Come, let’s reason together.  That’s the compassionate invitation from our Lord to safely share all our sins and struggles with Him.  He will show us the truth about our circumstances and, through that truth, empower us to live lives that honor Him.

Who is God: Adonai (Part 2)

Knowing God as Adonai changes us.  Receiving Him as sovereign leads to a vulnerable transparency between God and his children, where we recognize our total inadequacy but move forward with a bold trust of His strength in us.

Who is God: Adonai (Part 1)

Sovereign.  Ruler.  Master.  All these define Adonai (Lord).  We use this name for God a lot.  But like Abram, we often don’t fully appreciate its meaning until we find ourselves in difficult circumstances we can’t manage on our own.
