Our series for February and March is entitled, "What's In a Name?"
The series title is a question so that we can think about what is found in a name. It identifies a person, place, or object and brings a distinction between it and another.
If we think of a diamond, it's true worth is only understood when we look at the beauty, color, and cut of each facet. In a similar way, the names of God reveal different views into the complex majesty of who He is.

Last week we looked at the first name of God that is recorded in Scripture.
Elohim is used some 2,500 times and speaks of God who is Creator. We learned that Elohim is both personal and powerful.
