The “He is” List
As we begin this series, we’re starting with something simple but powerful — a list. This isn’t just any list, though. It’s a collection of the names and titles God uses throughout Scripture to reveal who He is. Each name shows us something different about His character, His nature, and how He relates to us.
In the days ahead, we’ll take time to focus on one name at a time — to explore its meaning, where it appears in the Bible, and what it tells us about God. But for today, we invite you to read through the list below, choose one name that stands out to you. Look up the verse, ask yourself, what did it mean to the people at the time, and what does it mean for me today. Let it shape your prayer, your worship, and your understanding of Him.
