This week Jes is circling back to Part 2 of our Names of God series as we dig deeper into JEHOVAH SHAMMAH, The Lord is There. The first time we see this name in the Bible is in the book of Ezekiel, when the prophet receives a vision of God– Jehovah Shammah– in the New Jerusalem. At this point, the Isrealites have been in captivity in Babylon for 25 years. The temple and city was in ruins, and yet this vision from God was a reminder that God is still there in the city and with His people– even when they are in captivity because of their sin. This name is a powerful reminder to the ancient Israelites that God has NOT forsaken them, He was there with them, and He will be faithful to fulfill His promises.  This name is also a powerful reminder to us that wherever we are, whatever our circumstance, God is there. You are not forsaken or forgotten, no matter what you have done! Tune in to learn more!

This week Jes is sharing Part 10 of our Names of God series! We are highlighting different names and character attributes of The Lord, and this week we are learning about Jehovah M’Kaddesh– the Lord who sanctifies, who cleanses, and makes us holy and set apart. This episode is airing right after this year’s celebration of Easter, and I can’t think of a better time to dig into the significance behind this name of God. Afterall, Jesus lived a perfectly holy life– set apart for a divine purpose. The life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is what created a way for us to be seen as holy by a Holy God. The episode also discusses the importance of observing the Sabbath as a way to remain rooted in our identity and create a rhythm of rest and refocus.
