A little faith building....

I was just listening to a message from GC in Seattle. Pastor Wendell spoke - they had a combined service with GCers and adults ( I tried putting a link to the message, but it is not on the website for GC or The City Church, you can get it on ITUNES GC podcast - 9/19/06 "Combined Service"). For me, at least, it was a great message. Pastor Wendell spent a good portion of the service just naming some of the names of God. By the end of the message I definitely felt like my faith had been built up. He made a statement in the beginning, in reference to how God can solve our problems, saying that "You don't need to know, you just need to know who He is". So I decided to try and write at least some of the names of God from Pastor Wendell's message down here on my blog. Take a look, think about it for a while, read it over a couple times, read it outloud - and see what God does. If you can come up with anything else go ahead and throw it up in the comments.
