Looking up names

Names of people and places all add to the Bible's meaning.

Unit 4 Lesson 1: Looking Up Names

Ever since a word study on the word "cursed" sent us on a strange journey, the Grace Aware study method has held in high regard the practice of looking up common names of people and places. In this lesson you'll see how a simple word study took us to an unexpected place with a surprise ending.

  • Genesis 3:14 So the LORD God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, You [are] cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life.
  • Look up the meaning of "Peter" and "John" - as disciples they had two different approaches to Jesus and their names reflect that.

About Dave Weston

As an elder, home fellowship leader, and Bible teacher for over two decades, Dave became aware that Christians had slipped from teaching the Good News of the Gospel of Grace into legalistic disempowering doctrines that have held people back from knowing God's love. Dave has developed an integrated study method that focuses on eliminating presuppositions and equipping believers to see what's really in the Bible (and avoiding seeing what's not in the Bible!).
