We trace the meaning of Yahweh from Exodus 3 to John 8 and ask what God’s holy name demands of our worship, language, and daily lives. We wrestle with suffering, the seeker-sensitive drift, and why awe must return to the center of the church.

• Yahweh as God’s covenant name and self-existence
• Reverence for the Name and careful speech
• Worship drift from holiness to approval seeking
• Suffering, sovereignty, and counting it joy
• Practical ways to recover awe in worship

Covenant Church Houma

We trace the recent history of Covenant Church through hurricanes, hard choices, and a renewed focus on Jesus. From housing hundreds after Katrina to launching a school and changing our name, we share how mission led us to God's will.

• Why real ministry thrives outside the walls
• Starting Covenant Christian Academy and growing to 500+ students
• Balancing academic excellence with spiritual formation
• Why we chose the name Covenant and what it means
• A future vision centered on Jesus, not titles

If you haven’t heard parts one and two of our church history series, go back and listen to those first to set the stage for today’s conversation.

Covenant Church Houma

Two decades of revival, resistance, and resolve shaped our church from cautious tradition to mission-led freedom. We trace 2002’s quiet renewal, 2008’s evangelistic surge, and 2014’s inward deepening, and how bold moves, trust, and Scripture-first leadership changed our culture.

• the 2002 renewal that softened hearts and reset tone
• the 2008 three-day surge with seventy-five salvations
• anticipation and atmosphere as a sign of movement
• 2014’s inward decisions and daily-provision faith
• early leadership distrust, cultural fit, and hard battles
• choosing biblical direction over preference and control
• launching multiple services and remodeling for mission
• rebuilding reputation from legalism to freedom to minister
