Summary

Why does God need a name in the first place? John Mark argues that it's because there are many "gods". He surveys scripture passages relating to gods and demonic beings, not only warning us that they are real and should never be worshipped, but that Yahweh is the one true creator God and is higher than them all.

Key Scripture Passages: Exodus 34v6-7, Exodus 12v12, Exodus 15v11, Exodus 20v2-4, Psalm 82, Mark 5v1-13, Ephesians 6v10-12

0:00.0	Welcome to the John Mark Comer Teachings Podcast. I'm Strawn Coleman, your host and part of the teaching team here at practicing the way.
0:11.0	Each week on the show we share a teaching from John Mark or other
0:15.1	trusted voices in the formation space and it's great to have you with us.
0:22.2	In today's teaching John Mark dives into the really explored world of gods,
0:27.3	demons and the powers and principalities of this world, helping us peer behind the curtain to see just what it means that God is the highest
0:36.4	name in the heavens. And I think there's going to be a few surprises in there for many of us.
0:45.6	As you listen, you may like to ask yourself do I really live as though spiritual beings exist? Here is John Mac. Turning your Bibles to Exodus 34, we have a ton of ground to cover, no time for
1:00.3	chit-chat.
1:01.3	Hello, good morning morning all that boring stuff
1:04.8	Sorry I'm task driven
1:07.3	Exodus 34 if you are new or visiting last week we kicked off a brand new series right out of
1:15.2	Exodus 34, 6, and 7 which is ground zero for theology of God. It is the one and only place in all of the scriptures from
1:25.1	Genesis to revelation that God describes himself and in essence in a paragraph
1:31.4	says this is what I'm like and because of that it's the most quoted verse,
1:35.0	remember from last week, in the Bible, by the Bible,
1:41.2	which is crazy to me.
1:43.0	And we're going to get back to work in the series.
