Back to Sunday’s sermon. It was one of those I worked on, thought through, prayed over and dealt with much longer than normal. In fact, weeks longer. I am still amazed.
One of the things that sticks out to me about what I shared is the incredible power of the name of Jesus. He is the gift of heaven, the meaning of Christmas, the son of God, the change agent for the entire world and that includes me.
The following passage is an important piece for all who choose Jesus and lean on Him for life and salvation.
Philippians 2:9-11 NLT
Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Also in this sermon I shared something I found a long time ago. It is the names of Jesus all through the Bible. This is powerful. Read through it. Enjoy. Take it all in.
