Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "call". There are many words translated call in the New Testament, but we will be looking at the one found in Acts 2:21:

Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. KJV

This is the Greek word "epikaleomai". Strong's Concordance says: to entile, to envoke (for aid, worship, testimoy, decision). Thayer's Greek Lexicson says: to put a name upon. When we "call" on the Name of the Lord, we we are calling forth all the HE IS and all that HE has given to us! When we set our hearts and minds to do this, then there will be no end to the wisdom, knowledge and understanding that HE will pour into our lives! Brandon Lake's new album, King of Hearts, has the perfect song for this: I Know A Name!

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
