Understanding the Name Yahweh/Jehovah

Exalt Church

About
What is God's personal name? Is it Yahweh? Jehovah? Why do most English Bibles use the word LORD

instead?






In Part 2 of The Names of God series, Pastor Roger Pettay examines God's personal covenant name as

revealed in Exodus 3:13-15. Discover the meaning behind the divine name YHWH, why it appears

thousands of times throughout the Old Testament, and how Jewish and Christian traditions have

handled this sacred name through the centuries.






In this message you will learn:






• The three primary names used for God in the Old Testament

• The meaning of "I AM WHO I AM"

• Why LORD appears in all capital letters in many English Bibles

• The difference between Elohim, Adonai, and Yahweh

• How God's name is embedded in words like Hallelujah

• The connection between Yahweh, Joshua, and Jesus

• What Jesus meant when He declared, "Before Abraham was, I AM"






Whether you are new to studying Scripture or have walked with Christ for many years, this message will

help you better understand the character of God and deepen your appreciation for the God who desires

to be known by His people.
