Throughout this series as we've examined the Hebrew concept of "hesed" (often translated as mercy, lovingkindness, or steadfast love), an unasked question confronts us personally: are we going to live a life of hesed?
If God defines a central aspect of His character and nature with hesed, and now He lives inside of us through His Spirit, shouldn't our lives showcase His hesed to our world?
In this episode, we talk about the reciprocity of hesed, the story of the Good Samaritan, and what it means for us to "live a life of lovingkindness."

The Hebrew concept of “hesed” is found all throughout the life and ministry of Jesus. He told it in His parables and He lived it in all He did.
In this study, we examine the story of the “prodigal son” and discover that it really is a story of the “prodigal father”—it is a beautiful picture of the mercy and lovingkindness of God.

Jesus is Yahweh in the flesh. And because Yahweh God describes Himself as "abounding in hesed (lovingkindness)" this means Jesus is hesed in the flesh! What an amazing reality!
In this episode, Nathan talks about how the Hebrew concept of "hesed" is seen in the New Testament (often translated as "mercy") and examines one specific story in the life of Jesus where He (the God of hesed) goes to the "House of Hesed" to give hesed to a man desperately needing it.

Is God's mercy, forgiveness, and lovingkindness only for a select few "special" people … or is it available to everyone?
The book of Jonah gives us incredible insight into the heart of God for wicked people. God sends a messenger (Jonah) to the most wicked nation in human history with a message of repentance and judgment. And the moment the city of Nineveh repented, God showed mercy.
In this episode, Nathan takes the concept of hesed (mercy/lovingkindness/steadfast love) and shows how the entire book of Jonah revolves around this incredible theme. In so doing, we discover that God's mercy always triumphs over judgment, if we would but respond to His hesed.

While we are promised difficulty and trials in this life, as Christians we can stand firm upon the mercy, grace, supply, peace, joy, and life of Jesus Christ. Regardless of the season of life you may be in (good, bad, or ugly), we must remember that God’s hesed (lovingkindness) is still available and surrounds us.
In this episode, Nathan talks about the tremendous reality that even for ancient Israel, God’s hesed was celebrated in every season of life—the good and the difficult—and when we truly understand the hesed of God, we too should cry out “Your hesed (lovingkindness, steadfast love, faithfulness, mercy), O God, endures forever!”

Every nation has a national anthem that rallies the troops and reminds its people of their national identity. In ancient Israel, God’s hesed (specifically Exodus 34:6–7) was the celebratory anthem that rallied the people, stirred unity, reminded them of their identity in Yahweh, and exalted His character and nature.
In this episode, Nathan continues his series on God’s hesed (lovingkindness) and how the character of God should also be the anthem of our lives.

My favorite attribute of God's character and nature is that He abounds in steadfast love. This Hebrew word (hesed) is considered one of the most powerful and profound Hebrew terms, yet is also one of the most difficult words to translate into English.
In this episode, we examine God's hesed (His steadfast love / lovingkindness), and look at Exodus 34 where God reveals the heart and meaning of His name Yahweh … which is seen in His abounding lovingkindness.

If we are going to understand the nature and character of God, we must understand the basis (foundation) upon which all His attributes are based upon.
In this episode, Nathan talks about God's immutability (God is always the same) and why this is such a profound and foundational concept for our lives and why we must view all of God's attributes in light of it.

Paul declares that regardless of the season of life you are in or what you may be facing, God's grace is not only amazing but sufficient for what you are facing.
He writes in 2 Corinthians 9:8, "And God is able to make every grace abound to you, so that in everything at every time having every sufficiency, you may have an abundance for every good deed…"
Or as Peter writes in 2 Peter 1:3, you have everything you need for life and godliness in Christ Jesus.
In this episode, we talk about the amazing reality and sufficiency of God's grace in our lives.
