Eric VillanuevaSermons

An important part of getting to know someone is knowing their name. God gave to
us names and titles of Himself that reveal who He is, to us. To not lose people and to
entice their interest, we often try to dance around speaking of God, but in this savior
thing God has said, “Hey this is who I am to you, can you deal with this?”

God's Names 12 YHWH Tsidkenu (Jehovah our Righteousness) Jeremiah 23

Yahweh Tsidkenu, “The LORD, our
righteousness,” is from Jeremiah 23:6 and 30:11. This name has a biblical context.
Human and God’s righteousness are different. One is only declared righteous by God
when God becomes one’s righteousness.

history of the English language. The Author, David was a shepherd of his father’s flock
before becoming a vicious warrior and then king of Israel, bringing them to be a world

His Name in Vain, An Exposition of Exodus 20:7
Desert Light Christian Church, March 17, 2019
Ignorance of God takes His name in vain. Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” It’s about knowing God. Have we ever considered
that what is destroying our nations, communities, homes, and families is that people don’t know God? Knowing God could restore dignity, sanity, life to babies, and peace everywhere, to the individual, then to families, homes, communities, and nations.
