Sermon Tone Analysis

We’re going to continue in a similar that we’ve been on.

For the last 2 weeks we looked at Jehovah in the OT and found out that Jehovah is the Lord Jesus Christ

     *I.

*In (*/Zechariah 12:10/*) Jehovah said, “*/They shall look upon me whom they have pierced/*.”

KJV

              *A.

*It was */Jesus/* that */was pierced/* when he was placed on that */cross/* and after He was taken down they pierced His */side/*.

*1.

*Now */don’t get caught up on words/*, if someone doesn’t want to believe that Jesus is Jehovah, that OK, As long as they believe that Jesus is Lord.

*B.

/Today/* I want to begin looking at some of the */other names for God/* */and/* the Lord */Jesus/* Christ.

*1.

/If/* you’re */wondering/* about */why/* we’re */taking up/* the */subject/* of the */names of God/*, */each name/* for God and for Jesus */describe/* */who they are/*, */their character/*, and */even/* */their will for us/*.

*II.

*The */1st/* */name/* that I want to */start off/* with today is the */1st/* */title for God/* that we have in the Word of God.

              *A.

*Turn with me to */GEN.

1:1/*

                        *1.

*Here the word “*/God/*” is actually the Hebrew word “*/Elohim/*.”

*a.

/Elohim/* is the */plural/* for the Hebrew word “*/El/*.”

*b.

/Elohim/* */refers to/* God the */Father/*, God the */Son/*, and God the */Holy Spirit/*.

*2.

*It also */describes God’s/* */Greatness/* */and/* His */Glory/*.

*a.

/If/* you */look up/* the word “*/Elohim/*” */in/* your */Strong’s Concordance/* it */refers you back to/* the */root word/* “*/El/*” which */means/* “*/Strength/*, */Might/* and */Power/*.”

*b.

/Our God is the God of Power/*.

*i.

*We can see that in */GEN 1:1/*

                                           *ii.

*That took a */display of God’s great power/*.

*B.

*Just */a moment ago/* I */said/* that the word “*/Elohim/*” */refers to/* the */Father, Son, and HS/*.

*1.

/All three/* of them were */involved in creation/*.

*2.

*Look at */GEN 1:2/*

                                  *a.

/Why/* did the */HS/* */move upon the face of the waters/*?

*i.

*He was */bringing the Glory/* */and the Power of God/* */on the seen/*.

You could say that */He was preparing the way/* */bringing the miracle of creation/*.

*b.

*Look at */1COR 12:7-11/*

                                           *i.

*The Gift of */prophecy/*, */tongues/*; the */interpretation of tongues/*, the */word of wisdom/*, another the */word of knowledge/*, and the */discerning of spirits/* all come to */reveal something/*.

(They */reveal a word/* from God).

                                           *ii.

/Faith/*, (that is the */Special/* gift of */faith/*), the */working of miracles/*, and the */gifts of healing/* come to */bring a miracle/* */in/* this */natural realm/*.

*iii.

/Jesus is the Healer/*, */but/* the */HS causes/* the */miracle to be revealed/*.

*c.

/1 of the role’s of the HS/* */is to reveal/* */what has happened in the spirit/* realm */to/* this */natural realm/*.

*i.

*(*/John/**/ 16:13/*) Says, “*/Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come/*.”

KJV

                                           *ii.

/Notice/* the */last part/*, “*/He will show you things to come/*.”

*iii.

/That is revealing something to you/*.

*3.

**/1 COR 2:9-14/*

                                  *a.

*In (*/V 10/*), Paul makes it vary clear that the */HS is the 1 that reveals to us/* */what God has in store for us/*.

*i.

*(*/V 12/*) tells us that */we have received the SPIRIT OF GOD/* or the */HS/* */that we might know/* */the things that God has freely given to us/*.

*ii.

/Again/*, it’s the HS that is bringing us */revelation/*.

*b.

*In (*/Ephesians 3:5/*) it tells us that the */HS revealed things to the apostles and prophets/*.”

*4.

*Now that we know that the HS gives revelation, Look at something that Paul said in */EPH 3:17/*

                                  *a.

/Most translation/* */capitalize/* the word “*/SPIRIT/*” */meaning/* the */HS/*.

*i.

/You could word it this way/*, “*/That the Lord Jesus Christ would give you the Spirit of Wisdom and the SPIRIT of Revelation/*.

*ii.

*The */HS will give you/* “*/Revelation/*.”

*b.

/Notice/* */how/* that */revelation will come/*.

*/END of/* */EPH 1:17/*

                                           *i.

*“*/In the Knowledge of Him/*” (*/Of Jesus/*)

                                           *ii.

*This word “*/Knowledge/*” here comes from the */Greek/* word “*/epignosis/*” */meaning/* “*/A full and intimate knowledge/*.”

*c.

**/Paul said/* in (*/PHIL 3:10/*) “*/That I may know him/*.”

*i.

/As we get to know/* the Lord */Jesus/* Christ better each day, */the greater revelation we’ll have from the HS/*.

*C.

*We’ve */been talking about/* the */HS’s role in creation/*, */He brings it to this natural realm/*, but */Jesus/* was */also actively involved/* */in creation/*.

*1.

*Look at */COL 1:16/*

                                  *a.

/Jesus did the creating/* */and/* the */HS caused it to manifest and be revealed/*.

*2.

/But where was the Father involved/*.

*a.

*I like this */analogy/*: */The Father is the 1 that plans the whole thing/*, */Jesus does the work/*, */and/* */the HS causes it to be revealed/*.

*b.

*We */already saw/* that */Jesus created/* the */Heavens and/* the */Earth/*, */He did the work/* and the */HS revealed it and causes it to manifest/*, */But/* */I don’t want you to take it for granted that Father is the 1 who planed it all/*.

*3.

*Go to */EPH 1:3-5/*

                                  *a.

*This is */all part of God’s plan/* and */it was done before the foundation of the world/*, */Before/* (*/GEN 1:1/*)

     *III.

/Elohim is a God of power/*.

*A.

**/ROM 1:16/*
