This Is Our God: “Jehovah Nissi: The Lord Our Banner”

Text: Exodus 17:1-16 (ESV)

God introduces Himself to Israel as Jehovah Nissi – God Our Banner – in Exodus 17. Picturing God as a flag or a signal pole may not have much significance for many of us, but this name is a declaration of God’s provision and protection in our lives. In our hardships and battles, God is our source. This is seen most poignantly at the cross where Jesus died for our sins. At the cross, God secured the greatest victory for us by providing forgiveness for our sins and protection from sin’s power. We invite you to listen today to find the provision, protection, and victory that is only found in turning to Jesus our Savior.
