What Is Your Name

What Is Your Name explores the connection between a name, a person’s character, and the saving name of Jesus. Beginning with Acts 4:10–12, this sermon moves from experiences of identity toward a call for spiritual response. It gives ministers material for preaching baptism, salvation, and a life that honors Jesus.

A name can represent trust, reputation, and belonging. Confusion has consequences. The message uses personal stories about mistaken identity and legal names to make that importance clear. From there, it asks listeners to consider why the name of Jesus matters so deeply.

What Is Your Name turns attention toward the apostles’ preaching in Acts and the response recorded at Pentecost. Repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and the gift of the Holy Ghost enter the discussion. Moreover, the sermon connects the name with the identity of Jesus, presenting its teaching from an Apostolic Oneness perspective.

The message gathers passages that describe Jesus as Savior, shepherd, redeemer, and the source of hope. These references help ministers direct attention toward His character and power. What Is Your Name offers a foundation for teaching that moves beyond recognizing a name toward trusting the Lord and responding to His Word.

What Is Your Name also draws from Jacob’s encounter with God to raise questions about character and surrender. Its marriage illustration introduces belonging and relationship before returning to baptism. Use this sermon for doctrinal instruction, an evangelistic service, or a message about Christian identity and the practical meaning of bearing Jesus’ name.

What Is Your Name closes by asking how a relationship with Jesus shows in a believer’s life. Preach it to invite reflection, obedience, and renewed confidence in the Lord. Let its questions point listeners toward forgiveness, surrender, and words and deeds that honor the One whose name stands at the center of salvation.
