Week 3 Assignments (Names of God)

1. “Hi, ____!”

People are flattered when you recall their name. It shows you care enough to invest energy in remembering.
So do it! Be a blessing. Instead of “Hi”, this week say “Hi, ___” when you pass someone in the halls at Central or in the cafeteria at work. Notice how many people you address by name this Sunday. Make it at least 5 (family members/close friends do not count!).

Remember: God knows YOU by name!

“And the LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”
Exodus 33:17

2. Spend some time this week reading the scriptures in “Portraits of God.” Think through the questions and share your answers with your spouse or a friend.

3. Choose a name of God that speaks to where you are this week. Use a concordance and look up related verses. Thank God for revealing himself to you in such a personal way.

4. Memorize:
“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11
