video reflection
YHWH, Adonai, LORD, Jehovah… God seems to have a lot of names, what exactly are we supposed to call him? We invite you into the fascinating journey behind all the different names Jews and Christians have used to refer to their creator throughout the centuries, and more importantly, why! Check out our third video in a six-part exploration of the ancient biblical prayer called the Shema.

One Response
In Chapter 8, God told the people that their success would make them forget all that God had done for them. They would credit themselves with their success by the works of their hands.
I feel like I am in danger of this all of the time. I often recognize what God has and is doing for me, but I also often am proud of where I am in life because of what I’ve done. This is a good reminder to thank God and give him credit for the good things He gives us!
