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.
