Jehovah Shammah: The Lord Is There—The Bible’s Central Message Is God’s Presence

In “Names of God” Part 16, Ps. Ryan focuses on Jehovah Shammah (“the Lord is there”) from Ezekiel 48:35, arguing that the heart of the Bible is not merely salvation from hell but God’s presence with His people. Ps. Ryan explains that God is constantly present and that what we call “encounters” are awakenings to a reality already true, not feelings we must manufacture. Using Israel’s ruin and exile when Ezekiel prophesied, he emphasizes that God remains present in brokenness and names the city before changing its condition. He connects this theme to Emmanuel (“God with us”) in Matthew 1:23 and teaches that Jesus restores access to the Father’s presence, reframing provision (Jehovah Jireh) as God giving Himself. He also highlights making “room” for God through space and time, contrasting Mishkan and Shabbat.

El Olam: Trusting the Everlasting God Beyond the Horizon

Lesson 15 in the “Names of God” series focuses on El Olam, “the Everlasting God,” from Genesis 21:33, where Abraham plants a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba and calls on the Lord’s name. 

Ps. Ryan explains that God reveals His names progressively through relationship and experience, then frames Abraham—about 130–137 years old, tired and facing conflict over a well—as encountering God as the One who outlasts time, sees beyond human limits, and stands beyond the “horizon” or vanishing point of our vision. El Olam gives faith to keep walking, planting, obeying, and worshiping even when promises feel delayed, outcomes are hidden, or the full harvest won’t be seen in one lifetime, because God holds tomorrow and works even in darkness and failure for His purpose.

El Shaddai: God Is Enough and God Is the Limit (Genesis 17:1)

Teaching from Genesis 17:1, Ps. Ryan continues “Names of God, Part 14,” focusing on El Shaddai. He explains that El Shaddai means not only “God Almighty” but also “God is enough,” emphasizing surrender, reliance on God, and refusing idolatry of blessings or self-sufficiency. Using Abraham’s delay and Ishmael, he says God corrected Abraham’s attempt to “help” the promise and called him to walk blamelessly, connecting “enough” to God setting boundaries. Ps. Ryan illustrates God as the One who restrains chaos by setting limits in creation, and links this to Jesus calming the sea and exercising authority over demons and the law. He references Job repeatedly calling El Shaddai in suffering, teaching that chaos and pain have a limit set by God, urging believers to endure, trust, and give their future back to God.

El Gibbor: The Mighty God Who Fights for You

In this sermon, Ps. Ryan explains El Gibbor (“El” = God, “Gibbor” = mighty) from Isaiah 9:6, noting it is the only biblical occurrence of “El Gibbor” and a prophecy of Jesus Christ. 

The message contrasts God as “Almighty” (His intrinsic nature) with “Mighty God” as His relational intervention—God stepping into human battles and fighting instead of us.

It emphasizes surrender and grace: God helps those who cannot help themselves, not those who “help themselves,” and “being still” (Exodus 14:14) is reassigning the battle to God while continuing faithful obedience. Using illustrations from Adam’s fall, Nimrod, Esau, Jacob, and Joseph, it highlights how human self-reliance corrupts grace, and calls believers to trust El Gibbor, testify to God’s glory, and worship in advance like Hezekiah and Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20:12).

Jehovah Nissi: The Lord Is My Banner (Exodus 17:8–11)

In this “Names of God” lesson #12, Ps. Ryan teaches on Jehovah Nissi (“The Lord is my banner”) from Exodus 17:8–11 and the battle with Amalek, where Israel prevailed when Moses’ hands were raised and faltered when they dropped, until Aaron and Hur supported him all day. He explains Amalek’s unfair attack on the weak and weary (Deuteronomy 25:17–18) as a picture of how the enemy targets vulnerable areas, often through subtle lies that create anxiety and exhaustion over long, unresolved struggles. The raised hands are presented not as magic power but as a fixed point that turns attention upward to God, urging believers to keep looking to Him, persevere, and seek community support. He connects the “banner” ultimately to Jesus as the lifted-up Savior (Isaiah 11:10; John 3:14–15).

“From Broken to Sent” 

Pastor Ryan opens with Psalm 139:1–4 (KJV) to emphasize that God knows and cares for every detail of our lives. He teaches a five-step journey from brokenness to being sent: 

1. Diagnosis—brokenheartedness met by El Roi, “the God who sees,” illustrated through Hagar in Genesis 16; 

2. Interruption—Jehovah Shammah, “the Lord is there,” even in ruins like Ezekiel 48:35; 

3. Restoration—Jehovah Rapha, the healer who binds wounds (Psalm 147:3) and sweetens bitter places (Exodus 15); 

4. Sustained peace—Jehovah Shalom, wholeness amid conflict, shown in Gideon’s altar (Judges 6:24) 

5. Commission—El Rachum v’Chanun, the compassionate and gracious God (Exodus 34:6), calling healed people to extend mercy and serve others rather than consume church.

Jesus the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:1–6)

Ps Ryan teaches from John 14:1–6 where Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” emphasizing that this is not merely doctrine but Jesus Himself as the fulfillment of Jewish categories: halakha (the way), emet (truth), and chayim (life). Ps. Ryan contrasts modern Christianity’s split between faith and daily life with a lived, relational walk with Christ, urging believers to stay close to the Shepherd rather than chase religious systems, rules, or special moments. He explains “progressive revelation,” arguing Scripture is God-breathed through imperfect people and that God’s revelation moves toward its perfect expression in Jesus, using examples like slavery and treatment of women. He stresses truth is a person known by relationship, and closes with Jesus’ mercy to the adulterous woman: “Neither do I condemn you…go and sin no more,” calling the church to welcome people safely without condemnation while exalting Jesus alone.

I am the Good Shepherd

Pastor Ryan teaches that God provides fully, but believers must choose to desire Him (“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,” Psalm 23:1). Using the “valley of the shadow of death” imagery, he says the shepherd doesn’t reroute the sheep; the daily habit of walking with the shepherd prepares them to pass through darkness with God’s presence (Psalm 23:4). He contrasts “I will fear no evil” with never feeling fear, calling believers to keep walking even afraid. He explains the rod (protection/discipline/inspection) and staff (guidance/alignment/comfort), then highlights God’s provision at the table, anointing oil, overflowing cup, and the truth that goodness and mercy follow those who keep walking (Psalm 23:5–6)

I Am the Good Shepherd: Psalm 23 and John 10.

Ps. Ryan continues the “Names of God” series by connecting Exodus 3:14 (“I AM”) with Jesus’ declaration in John 10:11-16 that He is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, bringing both Israel and Gentiles into one flock. Using Psalm 23:1-4, it explains that “The Lord (Yahweh) is my shepherd” is God’s promise to provide, while “I shall not want” is the believer’s response to desire God above His gifts, rejecting a “vending machine” faith. Ps. Ryan emphasizes worship and commitment rather than church-hopping, and teaches that the Shepherd makes sheep rest, leads them to green pastures and still waters, and restores “cast” sheep through patient, protective care. Even in the “valley of the shadow of death,” believers can walk without fear because the Shepherd is with them.

Abba Father: From Orphan Spirit to Adopted Sonship

In this Father’s Day message by Ps. Imee Francisco titled “Abba Father, the cry that was always yours” explores the word “Abba” being mentioned three times in Scripture—Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6, and Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane (“Abba Father… not my will but yours”). 

Ps. Imee teaches that crying “Abba” is not human effort but a gift given through the Holy Spirit because of Christ’s finished work, emphasizing God as a personal, good Father regardless of one’s earthly father experience. The sermon identifies “orphan spirit” mindsets—seeking love apart from God, comparison, internal strife, overperformance for approval, and confirmation bias from pain—and urges believers to replace them with their inheritance as adopted children, grounded in Scripture and the Spirit’s witness. It ends with a call to forgive, surrender wounds, and worship God as Abba.

Jesus is our Everlasting Father. 

Ps. Yen's sermon centers on Jesus as “Everlasting Father” from Isaiah 9:6, explaining it is not a Christmas sermon but a call to deeper understanding. 

Using King Josiah’s story, we see how responding to God’s Word can break generational patterns: Josiah sought God despite a wicked family line, repented when the Book of the Law was found, and was guided by mentors. The church is urged to help address fatherlessness by mentoring and “keeping the flame” of faith. Ultimately, reforms are temporary, but Jesus—the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace—changes hearts and answers deep questions of identity, being known, seen, and never abandoned.

Key verse - Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Ps. Ryan explains God’s names as covenant “signatures,” emphasizing God’s self-existent nature and His choice to enter human need. Jesus is presented as the bread of life and light of the world, like the burning bush that was not consumed, and believers as carriers of God’s fire through the Holy Spirit (Acts 2). “Glory” (kavod) is taught as weight, illustrated through gravity, relativity, and black holes to show God’s irresistible pull and His ability to see the end from the beginning.

Ehyeh (I AM): Jesus the Bread of Life, Light of the World, and God’s Unconsumable Presence

Lesson 5 in the series on God’s names focuses on Ehyeh/Ehyeh Asher Ehye (“I AM,” “I AM THAT I AM”), revealed to Moses (Exodus 33:19) as God’s answer to Israel’s 400 years of slavery and need, and fulfilled in Jesus, whose “I am he” displays power (John 18:4–6). The teaching reviews Elohim, El Elyon, and Adonai, then explains why Jesus’ “I AM” claims in John are consequential, especially “I am the bread of life” (John 6:35) and “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12): Christ satisfies spiritual hunger, and believers must “eat” the Word, not chase feelings.

Pastor Ryan challenges “Sunday Christianity,” saying true salvation shows fruit through intimacy with Christ, and uses the burning bush and God’s fire as sustaining, purifying presence.

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh: God’s “I AM” in Exodus and the Plagues of Egypt

Lesson 4 in the “Names of God” series focuses on Ehyeh ("I AM"), drawing from Exodus 33:19 and Exodus 3:14 (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, “I am that I am”). 

Pastor Ryan explains that God’s name is a covenant signature showing His self-sustaining, ever-present sufficiency, not limited by time, and able to fill the gaps created by human failure and bring people back into alignment with His will. Moses’ call after Israel’s 400 years of slavery is used to show God working behind the scenes, including Joseph’s role and Israel leaving Egypt with wealth. The burning bush is presented as a picture of Jesus containing God’s consuming fire, and Jesus’ “I AM” claims in John are linked to Ehyeh. The ten plagues are described as God dismantling Egypt’s gods (e.g., Nile, frogs, sun/darkness), culminating in Passover blood covering households from judgment.

And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence.

Adonai: From Lord to “My Lord”

Lesson 3 on the names of God focuses on Adonai, drawing from Exodus 33:19.

And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’...

Contrasting earlier names Elohim and El Elyon. Adon (lord/master) describes authority, hierarchy, ownership, decision-making, and accountability, confronting a “vending machine” view of God and stressing that true salvation shows fruit and surrender, not mere attendance or a prayer. Adonai adds the Hebrew suffix conveying personal, covenant relationship—“my/our Lord”—which requires human choice, not coercion. Using Genesis 15, Pastor Ryan explains Abraham calling God Adonai and the “walking the pieces” covenant, portraying God and His Son bearing the covenant on Abraham’s behalf. Isaiah 6 illustrates Adonai’s intimate oversight: His train fills the temple, touching every area of life.

Names of God (Part 2): El Elyon—God Most High

Reading Exodus 33:19.

And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence

Pastor Ryan continues on the “Names of God” series, teaching that God’s names reveal His nature and carry covenant promises. The focus is El Elyon (“God Most High”), emphasizing that God is in a category by Himself—above all jurisdictions, thrones, and claims, with no true rivalry with Satan. Using Genesis 14, Abraham’s encounter with Melchizedek is presented: after victory with 318 men over multiple kings, Abraham gives a tenth and returns the spoils, showing that tithing is not about curses or legality but about clarity and honoring El Elyon as the source.

Pastor Ryan also cites Psalm 46:4–5, Psalm 57:2, Numbers 24:8–16, and stories of Hezekiah, Jehoshaphat, David, Balaam, and Gideon to show El Elyon is invoked in “final” situations and delivers, calling believers to worship and trust God above all.

Key scripture: John 14:1-6

Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know. Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way? Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

#TheWayChurch #LiveLongAndProsper

This is a sermon delivered by Ps. Sandro Silverio

Isaiah 40:28-31

Have you not known?

Have you not heard?

The everlasting God, the Lord,

The Creator of the ends of the earth,

Neither faints nor is weary.

His understanding is unsearchable.

He gives power to the weak,

And to those who have no might He increases strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary,

And the young men shall utterly fall,

But those who wait on the Lord

Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.
