Alpha and Omega
To wrap up our series on the Names of God Sunday teaching series, we went to the end of the Bible. 

 
"I am the Alpha and the Omega,"
          says the Lord God,
                  "who is and
                    who was and
                    who is to come, the Almighty.
-Revelation 1:8 NASB

In the final book of the Bible, Yahweh comes back to the name He wants to be called by... "I AM." If it wasn't obvious by how God is portrayed from cover to cover of the Bible, this verse says "HE IS, HE WAS, HE IS TO COME!" Certainly this is augmented by the name "Alpha & Omega."

At the end of Revelation, the Lord comes back to it again:  " I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end." - Revelation 21:6 NASB

Genesis to Jesus Class

From Genesis to Jesus is a seven-lesson study about the major theme of the Bible.
We have pared down this study to what we think is absolutely essential for you to get a clear picture of what the Bible (and Christianity) is all about.
