"What's In a Name?"
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus." Matthew 1:23 - 25 ESV
Sometimes when we read the newspaper or a magazine we will run across a name that may cause us to pause and wonder, "what were their parents thinking?" In the Bible we see great thought given to the naming of a child, because a name was thought to convey some character of the individual.
In today's message Pastor Russ Whitaker will look at three individuals and how their name spoke to who they were; Abraham, John the Baptist, and Jesus.
