What I Wish I Knew When I Was Twenty Two: Guard Your Heart

Bob closes out our last series of the semester by talking about how we can love our neighbors like Jesus does. We focus on the parable of the Good Samaritan and how we can live likewise.

God’s Presence is constant in our lives. He is there in our going out and coming in. In our rising and our lying down. He is with us all the time, even during the night. And during the night, He gives us sleep and speaks to us through dreams. 

Jehovah Shammah —> The Lord is With Us. His promise is to work through all things to lead us into the best He has for our lives. He does the heavy lifting. Our part is to simply believe and follow.

Jehovah Shalom —> The Lord is our Peace. We position ourselves to receive and live in that peace as we live out our true identity as sons and daughters of God.

Jehovah Rapha —> The Lord is our Healer. Medical science is His gift to us. But, Jehovah Rapha always reserves the right to go far beyond what doctors can do.

Jehovah Jireh —> The Lord is our Provider. Everything we need to live out the best He has for us, He will provide. The right thing, always at the right time.

Bob teaches on the compound name ‘Jehovah-Tsidkenu’ which means ‘The Lord is my Righteousness.’ Because Jesus is our righteousness, righteousness is received and not achieved. Thus, no one is ever too far gone to be saved, we can live free from condemnation, and we can be delivered from perfectionism.

We started off the JEHOVAH series with a message about Jehovah-Nissi - ‘The Lord is our Banner.’ As Jehovah Nissi, the Lord fights for us and enables us to win battles we could never win in our own strength.
