He wants to walk away with some dignity here.

He wants a tie.

If he can't win this battle, at least let's break even.

I'll tell you my name, you tell me your name.

No, nothing doing.

Well, as we look at the names that God is pleased to give of Himself,

we are going to discover all kinds of vignettes of insights into his character.

Because every title that is used for God, either God the Father, God the Son, and you notice even that distinction, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit,

Those different names of the members of the Godhead already are telling us something about the character of the Father, whose character it is to be the Father, and the character of the second person of the Trinity, whose character it is to be the Son.

and the character of the third person of the Trinity, whose character is to be the Holy Spirit.

We're going to look at the names and the titles that the Bible attributes to all three members of the Godhead.

And I'm excited about this series because it's a little different from the normal approach to theology.

It's where we live.

It's concrete.

It's graphic.

And it's personal.

And I hope that you will study with me in the days and in the weeks to come.

I want us to think about our own name.

Obviously, each name that we have has some particular meaning in ancient history.

that may have absolutely nothing to do with who we are or what we're about.
