Pastor Davis did me a big solid one sunny afternoon, for no other reason than just to be a nice guy. Biblically, we had a sharing of info. I appreciate his kindness and I will keep an open mind when I hear him preach the word at church. Praise the Lord Jesus hallelujah amen. I am so thankful to God for sending me to the Calvary Chapel in Temple Echo Park in L. A. Ca. I felt at home for the first time I attended the service. Friendly people and the pastors. Pastor David and pastor Troy I like them both so far the how they are preaching and teaching the word of God verses to verses very clear and simple to understand. Thank you everyone my brothers and sisters in Christ for welcoming me into your family. God bless us all. God, Names of || I. INTRODUCTORY 1. The Phrase "His Name" 2. Classification. II.

New Testament NAMES OF GOD 1. God 2. Lord 3. Descriptive and Figurative Names LITERATURE I. Introduction: To an extent beyond the appreciation of modern and western minds the people of Biblical times and lands valued the name of the person. They always gave to it symbolical or character meaning. While our modern names are almost exclusively designatory, and intended merely for identification, the Biblical names were also descriptive, and often prophetic. Religious significance nearly always inhered in the name, a parent relating his child to the Deity, or declaring its consecration to the Deity, by joining the name of the Deity with the service which the child should render, or perhaps commemorating in a name the favor of God in the gracious gift of the child, e.g. Nathaniel ("gift of God"); Samuel ("heard of God"); Adonijah ("Yahweh is my Lord"), etc. It seems to us strange that at its birth, the life and character of a child should be forecast by its parents in a name; and this unique custom has been regarded by an unsympathetic criticism as evidence of the origin of such names and their attendant narratives long subsequent to the completed life itself; such names, for example, as Abraham, Sarah, etc. But that this was actually done, and that it was regarded as a matter of course, is proved by the name given to Our Lord at His birth: "Thou shalt call his name Jesus; for it is he that shall save his people" (Mt 1:21). It is not unlikely that the giving of a character name represented the parents' purpose and fidelity in the child's training, resulting necessarily in giving to the child's life that very direction, which the name indicated. A child's name, therefore, became both a prayer and a consecration, and its realization in character became often a necessary psychological effect. Great honor or dishonor was attached to a name. The Old Testament writings contain many and varied instances of this. Sometimes contempt for certain reprobate men would be most expressively indicated by a change of name, e.g. the change of Esh-baal, "man of Baal," to Ish-bosheth, "man of shame" (2Sa 2:8), and the omission of Yahweh from the name of the apostate king, Ahaz (2Ki 15:38, etc.). The name of the last king of Judah was most expressively changed by Nebuchadnezzar from Mattaniah to Zedekiah, to assure his fidelity to his overlord who made him king (2Ki 24:17). ........ My children are growing strong in the Lord the teaching for children is the greatest and the teachers are so sweet and friendly and I just love love this church.😉 Praise the Lord Jesus! To God be the Glory
