"In The Name of Jesus" - Pastor John D. Putnam

September 28, 2025
Pastor John D. Putnam

In this anointed and faith-stirring message titled “In the Name of Jesus”, Pastor John D. Putnam proclaims the unmatched power and authority found only in Jesus’ name. Drawing from Acts 4 and the bold witness of the apostles, he reminds us that while the world may bow to powerless gods and empty traditions, there is only one name that saves, heals, and delivers—the name of Jesus Christ. With passion and biblical clarity, Pastor Putnam walks us through the New Testament witness that everything the church is and does flows out of His name—salvation, healing, miracles, prayer, baptism, and worship. From Peter declaring healing at the temple gate, to the woman pressing through the crowd to touch the hem of His garment, the message resounds: there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. This message calls us higher—not to cheap grace or empty ritual, but to bold faith and full surrender in Jesus’ name. Whether you are in need of healing, deliverance, forgiveness, or simply a renewed awareness of His presence, this message will remind you that the name of Jesus still carries power today.

Episode Notes

Main Point: Everything the Church is and everything the Church does flows from the power and authority of the name of Jesus.

  • Peter and John healed the lame man and declared salvation only comes through the name of Jesus (Acts 4).
  • The apostles baptized, prayed, preached, healed, and endured persecution all in Jesus’ name.
  • The New Testament reveals that Jesus’ name is the source of salvation, power, and authority in heaven and on earth.
  • Believers today are still called to invoke the name of Jesus in every area of life, from prayer to daily living.

Key Scriptures:

  • Acts 4:12 – “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
  • Mark 16:17-18 – “In my name shall they cast out devils… they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
  • Philippians 2:10 – “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.”
  • Colossians 3:17 – “Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.”

Major Themes:

  • The Only Saving Name – Baptism, forgiveness, and salvation are exclusively in Jesus’ name.
  • The Power of Authority – Miracles, healing, and deliverance operate through His name.
  • The Apostolic Example – The first church consistently invoked the name of Jesus in all ministry.
  • The Presence of Jesus – Where believers gather in His name, He is present.
  • The Call for Today – We are commanded to pray, live, and witness boldly in His name.

Reflection Questions:

  • Do I treat the name of Jesus as routine, or as powerful and holy?
  • Am I invoking His name in prayer and in everyday life?
  • How can I more boldly declare the name of Jesus in my witness?
