Proverbs 22:1 1. Names are important. Genesis: Creator Exodus: Deliverer Leviticus: Great Teacher Numbers: Chastiser Revelation: Alpha and Omega 2. Choosing a name Joseph - Matthew 1:21 Jesus’ name is, and always will be, the most important name of all. Philippians 2:9-10 Jacob = deceiver Jacob halted (limped away) When you replace “Why is this happening to me?”- with “What is this trying to teach me?”, EVERYTHING shifts! 3. Changing names Often our name tells something about our character. Names show relationship with others. Saul to Paul: Acts 9 Names say something about who we are. Israel = God prevails (perseveres) What’s your name today? Anger → Peace Hate → Love Pain → Delight Disobedience → Happy to Serve Something against my neighbor → Love for one another Deceiver → Prince with God What's your name?
