Psalm 68:4–6, John 16:7–33,17:1–5, 1 Samuel 17:41–47

There is great power in a name. Names are significant. This is true today, but it was even more so in the Hebrew culture we read about in the Bible. A Hebrew name is no mere label. *The name of the LORD* reveals who he is.

Psalm 67:1–7, John 15:1–27, 1 Samuel 16:7, 17:4–37

There are two possible attitudes when facing a giant. One is to say, ‘It’s so big, there’s nothing I can do.’ The other is to say, ‘It’s so big, I can’t miss!’

How can you make sure you finish well?

Psalm 66:13–20, John 13:21–38, 1 Samuel 11:12–15,12:1–24

Jesus was the supreme example of love in the history of the world. He demonstrates all this in his own life through loving everyone (even Judas who betrayed him as we see in today’s passage), and laying down his life for us all in love.

Psalm 66:1–12, John 12:44–47,13:1–15, 1 Samuel 11:12–15,12:1–24

Celebration is an important part of life.
