Continuing our series exploring the names of God, this week we are in Isaiah 9:6 – God who is Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Prince Of Peace.
“For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
The government will be on his shoulders
And he will be called
Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6
The bible builds a multidimensional picture of a holy God, who carries the name “God-who-makes-you-holy.” Based in the amazing vision in Isaiah 6, we look at what holiness looks like, why we’re drawn towards it, how we get it, and why it’s an unexpected answer to the deep questions of life.
Psalm 23 defines God as our shepherd – a concept very familiar to the writer of the psalm, but less so to us today. Alex unpacks the psalm to show the wonder of God our shepherd as our teacher, who feeds our soul and guides our hearts.
We explore Jehova Shalom – the God who is peace. God is peace, He is the peace-giver and the peace-maker. Phil takes us through a journey of coming to a place of peace with God, discovering the peace of God, and the outworking of peace on earth.
Pastor David Gentille explores the effect of God’s Word and the Holy Spirit in our healing. “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.” (Matt 8:17) “The spirit gives life to our mortal bodies.” (Rom 8:11)
Dissonance is what we experience when there’s a clash between what’s in our mind and reality – when life throws up something we never wanted to be part of our story, or something that doesn’t seem to fit with God’s story for us or just doesn’t seem to make sense.
Martin Luther King Jr once said “If a man doesn’t have a cause worth dying for, then he’s not fit to live.” Do we have a cause worth dying for? Is Jesus a cause worth dying for? There are over 215 million christians being persecuted around the world. What can we learn from them? How can we support them?
We all know that names matter – they say something! But did you know that God has a name – a name that should blow our mind and cause us to step-back in wonder and awe? Why? Because the name of God tells us why we should long to be in relationship more than anything else. Why He should have first place in our lives. Why He is different than all other ‘gods’ and is what our soul cries out for.
It’s easy to be pursuing God when things are going well, but why and how should we pursue God in the midst of pain and struggle? What lessons can we learn from Paul and Silas’ prison encounter from Acts 16.
