Series Overview
This summer, we are looking at 7 of the names of God! Each name of God gives us a new layer into the ways He provides and cares for us! Each name describes another aspect of God’s character, helping us see just how perfect and complete God really is!
Lesson Overview
Genesis 17 is a beautiful illustration of El Shaddai. God tells Abram and Sarai all that He has planned for them! Including changing names. They were growing older and had no children. Yet God declares they will not only have a son, but that Abraham will be the Father of many nations! Covenant. Promise. Multiply. God is doing EVERYthing because He is God Almighty! He has complete control over everything! He is our El Shaddai!
