God the Almighty Provider

In a special treat, longtime leader and elder in our church family, Pete Anderson shared his study this past Sunday. Pete studied a familiar name of God -- El Shaddai -- but the Scriptures give it great depth and tone.

God Almighty and God the Provider are aspects of this special name of God. He is both of those!

"I am God Almighty..." -- Genesis 17:1

"I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty,..." -- Exodus 6:3

"The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
the righteous man runs into it and is safe."

-- Proverbs 18:10

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust." -- Psalm 91:1-2

Listen to Pete's insightful message online--El Shaddai.

Bonus... Listen to Bill Salas sharing about being Mighty Warriors from the story of Gideon ...
