All Nations Church, Tallahassee Florida - Pastor Steve Dow - Sermons, Teaching and Inspiration - Reaching All People by All Means With the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

The Name above all Names Matthew 1:21-25 December 8, 2024 In Biblical times, names had meaning. People often lived up to their name. Jacob-trickster David-beloved Abraham-father of a multitude Moses-drawn out Joseph-he will add Daniel-to judge The Name of Jesus describes: 1. His Identity-Matthew 1:21 Jesus means Jehovah is salvation. Hebrews 2:10 He is the Captain of our salvation Hebrew Yeshua-The Lord is salvation Acts 4:12 No other name given under among men by which we must be saved. Jesus was a real human baby and God in the flesh. His cry broke 400 years of silence from Heaven and brought Good News to all mankind! 2. His intentions-Matthew 1:21 He came to save His people from their sins. ‘save’ means to keep safe, to rescue from danger or destruction. Philippians 2:7-11 Jesus primary purpose in coming to this sin sick world was to die for His people. 3. His impoverishment-Luke 4:18-19 He came to “proclaim good news to the poor” Jesus understands poverty, weariness, hunger, rejection and loneliness-Hebrews 4:15 He endured all that mankind must endure and was without sin. 4. His individuality-Matthew 1:23 “they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is God with us.” His covenant name is Yahweh (Jehovah), It means God promises. Yahweh occurs 6823 time in the Old Testament. Each occurrence speaks to God’s promise to mankind. His name is a Covenant for Salvation-Jehovah Yeshua-Titus 2:11 2 Peter 3:9 John 3:17 Acts 2:21 His name is a Covenant for Provision-Jehovah Jireh-Philippians 4:19 Genesis 22:14 His name is a Covenant for Peace-Jehovah Shalom-John 14:27 Psalm 29:11 His name is a Covenant for Healing-Jehovah Rophe-Psalm 107:20 Psalm 30:2 Jeremiah 17:14 His name is a Covenant for Deliverance-Jehovah Yeshua-Galatians 5:1 Psalm 32:7 His name is Emmanuel-God with us! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally
