God’s Great Name: His Character & Work!
Mike Fritscher

God’s Great Name Communicates His Character, His Work and Who You Are In Him!

I. God’s Name Communicates His Character!

Exodus 3:13-15 – Yahweh, God’s Forever, Memorial Name!

“I Am Who I Am”! – Self existing One!

Psalm 135:13 Your name, O LORD is everlasting (endures forever) Your Memorial, O LORD throughout all generations!

Exodus 34:6-7 and Psalm 103

II. From His Character Comes His Work!

Yahweh Rohi – I am Your Shepherd! Psalm 23

Yahweh Rapha – I am Your Healer! Exodus 14:21-31

Yahweh Shalom – The Lord Our Peace! Judges 6:24

• Yahweh Jireh! I Am Your Provider! Genesis 22

John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I Am!

John 8:28 When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I Am!

Jesus said of Himself: I Am the Bread of Life ! John 6:48; I Am the Light of the World John 8:14: I Am the Door of the Sheep ! John 10:9: I Am the Good Shepherd ! Jn 10:11: I Am the Resurrection and the Life ! John 11:25: I Am the Way the Truth and The Life! John 14:6: I Am the True Vine! John 15:1

Romans 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

If He’s Given His Best, He Will Give the Rest!

III. His Work Ultimately Defines the Believer in Christ!

“As Jesus Christ is in the World So Am I!”

Be More Passionate About Being a Vessel of Yahweh Provider than a Recipient of Yahweh Provider!

Reflecting Yahweh Provider! Matthew 25:31-

You Are the Spiritual Health Providers of the World!

You Are Givers Not Takers, Not Consumers!

Luke 6:38 Give and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.

2 Corinthians 9: 6 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;

We Give Our First and Our Best! Malachi 1 and 3!
