Feasting on the Word PART 1

When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” Exodus 3:4

God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14 

“We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. So what comes to mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us” – A.W. Tozer

What you believe about God will shape who you .

WHAT IS GOD’S NAME?

And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD [Yahweh], the LORD [Yahweh], the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.” Exodus 34:6-7

God’s name is not about power or titles, it’s about His .

“Let the one who boasts boast about this that they have the understanding to know Me” Jeremiah 9:24 

WHY DOES HE EVEN NEED A NAME?

God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods” Psalm 82:1

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms 
Ephesians 6:12

The real danger is not rejection of God but “Yahweh .”

Three Major Worldviews:

4 .Polytheism – gods of equal or parallel power and authority 
5 .Universalism – all paths lead up the same mountain
6. Monotheism 

Worship isn’t a religious thing, it’s a thing

Jesus is

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth John 1:14

And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross 
Colossians 2:15
