09/07/2025 Hallowed: Honoring God’s Name Big Idea: God’s Name demands honor - so honor His Name with your words and your life. (Philippians 2:9-11 - “Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the Name that is above every name, so that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”) Because God’s Name is His identity: 1. God’s Name demands honor (Ex 20:7 - “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.) (Matt 6:9 - “Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name.) “in vain” - empty, meaningless, worthless, false or deceptive “hallowed” - set apart, sacred, treated with the ultimate respect see Psalm 1:8a “take” - to lift up, to bear, to carry “name” - God’s identity, character, and reputation 2. Christ followers honor God’s Name by how we carry it. (Matt 12:34b - For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.) Don’t carry, bear, or represent God’s Name in a way that is empty, worthless, false, worthless or disrespectful. How are you carrying God’s Name right now? How about when no one else is listening? Col 3:17; 1 Peter 2:12; Gal 2:20
