Collective Church Kinston: Elohim

Watch

The Hebrew name Elohim reveals God's fundamental nature as the ultimate creator and definer of life, possessing the unique ability to create from nothing and establish the purpose of all creation.

This understanding is crucial because something or someone will always occupy the role of Elohim in our lives, determining our identity, purpose, and source of fulfillment.When we attempt to define our own meaning without acknowledging God as creator, we often experience feelings of purposelessness, chase temporary satisfactions, and struggle with emptiness. God demonstrates His position as Elohim through both the original creation and through recreation in Jesus Christ, taking what was broken by sin and making it new.

The path to genuine fulfillment involves surrendering the role of Elohim back to God, acknowledging Him as the ultimate creator and definer of our lives. This means actively seeking His purpose rather than creating our own, trusting His definition of good rather than society's, and looking to Him for identity and fulfillment rather than temporary sources.
