Because names matter, I actually work hard at trying to remember names. I wish I were better at it. It is something for which I regularly ask GOD’s help.

While names in our culture sometimes have some importance attached to them, names in the culture into which JESUS came were of utmost importance!

In the Bible, there are many passages of scripture giving us many names for JESUS. He has to have so many names to communicate the many beautiful truths about the manifold nature of his incredible Character. I believe that the scripture verse we will look at for the next four weeks is the single most important Old Testament verse about the names of JESUS.

I’m praying you’ll make plans now to invite someone to join you for the next four weeks of our Christmas Sermon Series, that I’ve entitled “NO OTHER NAME”. In this first message,  we’ll explore why the Bible tells us that JESUS is our “Wonderful Counselor” and discover the incredible, personal implications that name of HIS, has for your life.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
