S5, Ep. 11: Oh. My. God!

The Bible tells us not to take the Lord’s name in vain, but what does that mean exactly? What is the Lord’s name and what does it mean to take His name in vain?

Listen as our host dives deep into scripture, to answer the question, and provide an answer that may surprise you. We will walk you through history, culture and most importantly, God’s Word.

“And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” (Exodus 3:14 NKJV)

God is the great I AM. His name is to be both feared and revered. The name of the Most High God is to be treated with respect above any other name.
