The Triune God Who Gives New Names!

Theological Theme: Encountering God leads to a fundamental change of identity and purpose.
Christ Connection: God’s renaming of individuals in the Old Testament reflects both privilege and responsibility. As Christians, we bear the name of Christ. We receive both the privilege of salvation and the responsibility of mission.
Missional Application: God calls us to live in a manner worthy of the name we have received so that others may praise God for His transforming power.
God The Trinity Reaffirms The Covenant

Theological Theme: God promises the blessing of His presence to His people, even when they show themselves to be unworthy of His love.
Christ Connection: God’s promise to be with His people is most clearly fulfilled in Jesus Christ, “God with us.”
Missional Application: We can boldly share and show the love of Christ, not because we are perfect but because we know that God uses unusual and unworthy people to accomplish His purposes.
