Welcome to Session 5 of The Power of God’s Names online Bible study! We hope you had a great week of learning and enlightenment.
If you have any questions about how this study works, then visit this page.
If you are running behind, then that’s okay. We are leaving the full, free videos online until September 7th.
Below are this week’s video, discussion questions, and your assignment for next week.
Discussion Questions:
- What can we learn about God’s character from His name El Elyon?
- What are some ways people can be held hostage in today’s culture?
- Respond to Dr. Evans’s statement: “The beautiful thing about this name [El Shaddai] is that your mistakes don’t have to cancel out His power, because He is the God who can come through.”
- How can we support one another in moments when we’re waiting for God to come through?
This week, read and complete Week 5: El Elyon & El Shaddai (pages 123-146) in your Bible study book.
Thank you so much for lesson 5, it really encouraged me in my situation! I plan to dwell under the umbrella, under the shelter, under the covering of the Most High and under the wings of El Shaddia. I believe He will be there for me and bring me out of this illness in his time.
God is Most High that is what I have learned about God’s character! He will do as His names describe, He is Almighty He rules and over-rules. Some years ago I was flying from Atlanta to Dallas on a standby ticket. If you know how standby works you know you are at the mercy of chance with the airlines, you get on a flight when the attendant calls your name. The flight was so over-booked until the airlines decided to fly us to Chicago in order to reroute some of us to Dallas. Well, I am sitting in the airport in Chicago patiently waiting to hear my name and to receive my boarding pass for the next flight. Two flights went out and my name was not called, the attendant nicely assured me that I would make the last flight out to Dallas that evening. I had been traveling since 6:30 a.m. and it was now after 10:00 p.m. that evening, and I started out just wanting to go from Atlanta to Dallas, a flight which takes less than 2 hours. Before boarding started for the last flight, I went to the lady’s room and called out to the God I know as El Elyon, because I had been patient enough. I called Him by His name, EL ELYON and petition Him to over-rule in my situation. My name was called for that flight but wait, I was given a seat in FIRST CLASS. That is just one of the times He has over-ruled on my behalf!!!!!!!
