1019: Jehovah Rohi (God My Shepherd) // Behold Our God 14 (Nathan Johnson)
Several times throughout Scripture, God declares Himself as the Shepherd of His people—and this is most clearly seen when Jesus (Yahweh in the flesh) is called the “Good Shepherd.” In this study, Nathan examines the name of God Jehovah Rohi (God My Shepherd) and shows how we must embrace our sheep-ness if we want to experience the fullness of His shepherding in our lives.------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

1014: Jehovah Tsidkenu (God our Righteousness) // Behold Our God 12 (Nathan Johnson)
Righteousness is mostly foreign or misunderstood in our modern culture; but in God’s economy, righteousness is the bedrock of His Kingdom and what He calls His people to. God Himself is righteous and though we are unable to live righteously on our own, He provides everything necessary to clothe us in His righteousness so that we might live holy, upright, pure, godly lives in this present age. In this study, Nathan explores this deep and powerful concept of righteousness, shows Jesus Christ as the Righteous One, and what His righteousness means practically for our lives today.------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

1013: The Secrets of Room 5235 // Spiritual Lessons from Black & White America 15 (Eric Ludy)
This is the fifteenth installment in Eric's epic summer series covering the contentious and war-torn season of American history from 1914 to 1974. In this episode, he dives into one of the great American moments in 1942—the FBI capture of eight German spies attempting to wreak destruction upon our nation in the midst of WW2. This great counter-espionage victory for the FBI, secured J. Edgar Hoover a place in the pantheon of great American heroes. Behind the closed doors of Room 5235, the case of the eight German saboteurs was heard by a military tribunal—clearly showing that the FBI didn’t solve this case alone. However, the American public didn’t hear that story. They only heard Hoover’s misleading story that declared the FBI did this amazing work all by their lonesome. It’s easy for us all to keep the secrets of Room 5235 from the public. This message is about opening up the doors and letting credit be given to whom credit is due.------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

1012: Netzer (The Branch) // Behold Our God 11 (Nathan Johnson)
The term “the Branch” is one of the key names for the Messiah in the Old Testament. But far more than a mere twig, the name points not only to Jesus Christ, but also His life, His hometown, His crushing, and the amazing reality that we are grafted into Him. In this study, Nathan Johnson examines the Name of God “Netzer” (the Branch) and shows how this agrarian term shines forth the majesty of Christ.------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.
