Series: The Names of God
November 10, 2024 | Dr. Bryan O'Neal
Passage: Judges
The speaker introduces a series on the names of God, emphasizing the privilege of knowing God by name, bearing His name, and being part of His family. In this sermon, the focus is on the name "Jehovah Shalom," which translates to "The Lord is our peace" or "The Lord is peace." Dr. Bryan O'Neal reflects on how peace, as revealed in God's name, offers a deep, lasting sense of tranquility, unlike the fleeting peace of the world. Jehovah Shalom is described as a name that brings comfort, warmth, and a sense of calm, especially in today's chaotic world. The name is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Judges 6, although the concept of God's peace appears throughout Scripture. The sermon aims to explore the significance of this name and how it points to the peace that only God can provide, particularly through Jesus Christ. Dr. Bryan O'Neal invites listeners to experience this divine peace, which surpasses understanding, as they delve into the text.
