He Has a Name 6 The Peace of Me
RECAP
What Jesus calls us defines our purpose, what we call God defines our worship!
Romans 12:1-2
Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? I encourage you to surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices. And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.

YAHWEH SHALOM
Yahweh Shalom means “The Lord Is Peace”
Gideon knew this well from a time that he and his people were surrounded by a fierce enemy. There was nothing about that time that seemed “peaceful.”
And yet, God showed up strong on their behalf, Gideon felt so led to build an altar to the Lord and call it, “The Lord is Peace.” ____________________________
GOD IS PEACE
“Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD and named it The LORD is Peace.” Judges 6:24 ____________________________
Lesson in this name that teaches us something about all the names of God…
Whatever God IS in your moment is made real through Jesus Christ
When you believe you allow Jesus to become the full representation of God in your moment.
Believe in God and Not Jesus and all that God is will always remain distant!
