God's Nicknames

That seems a funny/odd way to put it, God having nicknames.  But think about it, many of us have nicknames. Last week we mentioned that our names in modern culture are basically just identification labels that distinguish us from the next person on our left or right.  But when you get a nickname, it's typically something that those who really know us have tagged onto us that say something of who we are to them.  It could be something about our character, our looks, our personality.  Whatever it is, we received it from those who know and love us.  At least that's what we're looking and longing for. (Never end a sentence with a preposition!)

​Let's start with the first and most basic nickname of God for this session. Elohim.
