Name Dropper | Part 3 | YHWH

The name of God was so powerful to the ancient Hebrews that they wouldn’t 
even say it. But through Jesus we’re told, “everyone who calls on the name 
of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13) God’s name brings salvation and 
strength. 

A name dropper is someone who uses another person’s name to get access 
to something they wouldn’t otherwise be able to get. As Christians, we’re 
invited to use God’s names in our time of need.

God is so powerful that He goes by many names: El Shaddai (Almighty), 
Jehovah Shalom (peace), Jehovah Rapha (Our healer) In this series, we’ll look at 
the power of calling on God’s many names and attributes to face the 
challenges of life.

SERMON NOTES

Exodus 6:1-9

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: 
Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand 
he will drive them out of his country.”

God also said to Moses, “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and 
to Jacob as God Almighty, [El Shaddai] but by my name the Lord [YHWH] I did
not make myself fully known to them. I also established my covenant with 
them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners. 
Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians 
are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. “Therefore, say to the 
Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the 
Egyptians.

I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an 
outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.  I will take you as my 
own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord 
your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. And I 
will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to 
Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’” 

Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because 
of their discouragement and harsh labor.

Key Point:

If you’re more concerned about God’s provision than you are 
about his presence, you’re only experiencing half of faith. 

The Big Question: 

God, where are you in this?
