Names of God (Ehyeh) Part 3

Part six of “Names of God” focuses on Ehyeh/Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (“I Am That I Am”), citing Exodus 33:19 and connecting it to Jesus’ “I am” declarations, including John 18 where His words cause the arresting party to fall. Ps. Ryan explains God’s names as covenant “signatures,” emphasizing God’s self-existent nature and His choice to enter human need. Jesus is presented as the bread of life and light of the world, like the burning bush that was not consumed, and believers as carriers of God’s fire through the Holy Spirit (Acts 2). “Glory” (kavod) is taught as weight, illustrated through gravity, relativity, and black holes to show God’s irresistible pull and His ability to see the end from the beginning. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

Names of God (Ehyeh) Part 2

Ehyeh (I AM): Jesus the Bread of Life, Light of the World, and God’s Unconsumable Presence Lesson 5 in the series on God’s names focuses on Ehyeh/Ehyeh Asher Ehye (“I AM,” “I AM THAT I AM”), revealed to Moses (Exodus 33:19) as God’s answer to Israel’s 400 years of slavery and need, and fulfilled in Jesus, whose “I am he” displays power (John 18:4–6). The teaching reviews Elohim, El Elyon, and Adonai, then explains why Jesus’ “I AM” claims in John are consequential, especially “I am the bread of life” (John 6:35) and “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12): Christ satisfies spiritual hunger, and believers must “eat” the Word, not chase feelings. Pastor Ryan challenges “Sunday Christianity,” saying true salvation shows fruit through intimacy with Christ, and uses the burning bush and God’s fire as sustaining, purifying presence. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

Names of God (Ehyeh) Part 1

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh: God’s “I AM” in Exodus and the Plagues of Egypt Lesson 4 in the “Names of God” series focuses on Ehyeh ("I AM"), drawing from Exodus 33:19 and Exodus 3:14 (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, “I am that I am”).  Pastor Ryan explains that God’s name is a covenant signature showing His self-sustaining, ever-present sufficiency, not limited by time, and able to fill the gaps created by human failure and bring people back into alignment with His will. Moses’ call after Israel’s 400 years of slavery is used to show God working behind the scenes, including Joseph’s role and Israel leaving Egypt with wealth. The burning bush is presented as a picture of Jesus containing God’s consuming fire, and Jesus’ “I AM” claims in John are linked to Ehyeh. The ten plagues are described as God dismantling Egypt’s gods (e.g., Nile, frogs, sun/darkness), culminating in Passover blood covering households from judgment. And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.

Names of God (Adonai)

Adonai: From Lord to “My Lord” Lesson 3 on the names of God focuses on Adonai, drawing from Exodus 33:19. And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’... Contrasting earlier names Elohim and El Elyon. Adon (lord/master) describes authority, hierarchy, ownership, decision-making, and accountability, confronting a “vending machine” view of God and stressing that true salvation shows fruit and surrender, not mere attendance or a prayer. Adonai adds the Hebrew suffix conveying personal, covenant relationship—“my/our Lord”—which requires human choice, not coercion. Using Genesis 15, Pastor Ryan explains Abraham calling God Adonai and the “walking the pieces” covenant, portraying God and His Son bearing the covenant on Abraham’s behalf. Isaiah 6 illustrates Adonai’s intimate oversight: His train fills the temple, touching every area of life. ——— Join us for our Sunday services at 10 AM and 4 PM.
