He Is With Me!

by Johnson Bowie
In every other religion, humans strive to reach and please their god. But God’s grace and love is so spectacular that He came down from heaven to be with us. In this sermon, we unpack the name and character of Jehovah Shammah—the Lord who is with us. No matter your circumstances, whether you’re in a season of beauty or brokenness, tune in to find encouragement and hope through the true and living God who will never leave us or forsake us.

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
