New Life Church Kalamazoo with Pastor Dan Smith

Jehovah Sabaoth, Tsuri, Rohi, and El Roi

In this special Names of God message, four New Life leaders reveal four powerful ways God meets us personally: Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies; Jehovah Tsuri, the Lord our Rock; Jehovah Rohi, the Lord our Shepherd; and El Roi, the God who sees us. Pastor Isaac shares that the King of Glory commands heaven’s armies while personally calling each believer to say yes and help build His Church. Barry reminds us that we were never meant to carry the pressure of being everyone’s rock—Jesus alone is the firm foundation who keeps us steady through every storm. Wade shares how our sovereign Shepherd knows us by name, provides what we need, and walks beside us through life’s darkest valleys. Leah closes by showing how God met Hagar in the wilderness and continues to see, pursue, and speak into the pain of those who feel forgotten. Whatever you are facing, God is not distant. He commands with authority, grounds you in every storm, shepherds you with faithful care, and sees every part of your story.

Jehovah Tsidkenu, Mekoddishkem, Shalom, Jireh

In this special Names of God message, four New Life speakers share powerful seven-minute messages on who God is: Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our righteousness; Jehovah Mekoddishkem, the Lord who sanctifies and makes us holy; Jehovah Shalom, the Lord our peace; and Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. Through Scripture and personal testimony, this message reminds us that God does not just call us to live differently — He transforms us by His righteousness, sets us apart through His holiness, gives us peace that the world cannot offer, and provides exactly what we need in His perfect timing. Whether you are seeking righteousness, holiness, peace, provision, or salvation, this message points us back to the God who meets us in every season and invites us into deeper relationship with Him.

Jehovah Nissi, Raah, Rapha, and Shammah

In this special Names of God message, four New Life students share powerful mini-messages on who God is: Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals; Jehovah Raah, the Lord our Shepherd; Jehovah Nissi, the Lord our Banner of Victory; and Jehovah Shammah, the Lord who is there. Through Scripture, testimony, and bold faith, this message reminds us that God is not distant from our pain, confusion, battles, or loneliness. He heals what is broken, shepherds us when we feel lost, fights for us when we are afraid, and remains with us in every season. This sermon is also a powerful picture of the next generation saying yes to God, stepping into courage, and declaring that Jesus is still changing lives. Whether you need healing, direction, victory, or the reminder that you are not alone, this message points you back to the God who is present, faithful, and worthy of your trust.

YHWH: The God Who Creates, Covers, and Calls

In this message, Pastor Dan continues the Names of God series by teaching on YHWH / Yahweh, the personal covenant name of God — the great I AM. Yahweh is the God who always was, always is, and always will be. He is not dependent on us, defined by us, or limited by us. He is the Creator of all things, and He made humanity in His image on purpose and for a purpose. Through Exodus 3, Genesis 2, and Deuteronomy 6, this sermon reminds us that Yahweh creates, provides, covers, and calls. He knows what we need before we do, works even while we rest, and calls us to live with reverent obedience that impacts the generations after us. This message is a call to stop living like we are God, return to the One who is, and trust Yahweh with our identity, our calling, our families, our rest, and our future.

El Qanna: Jealous God

In this message, Pastor Dan continues the Names of God series by teaching on El Qanna, meaning Jealous God or Zealous God. God’s jealousy is not insecurity — it is covenant love. He loves His people so deeply that He will not stand by while idols, rivals, or divided worship destroy what belongs to Him. Through Exodus 20, Exodus 34, and Deuteronomy 5, we are reminded that good things can become idols when they become ultimate things. Family, work, success, sports, relationships, control, approval, and comfort are all gifts — but none of them make a good God. This sermon calls us to repent of divided worship, remove rivals from the throne of our hearts, and return fully to the God who is zealous for His people. El Qanna is not against you — He is for you. But He is against anything trying to steal you from Him.
