Show Notes

Hello there,

"If you tried to describe what God is like, it could be difficult or daunting. But when the people who wrote the Bible pondered the mystery of God, they consistently described God’s character in this way: compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, overflowing with loyal love and faithfulness as recorded in Exodus 34:6.
We’re going to look at this fourth phrase, loyal love. It translates the Hebrew word khesed, which is hard to translate into any language because it combines the ideas of love, generosity, and enduring commitment all into one. Khesed describes an act of promise-keeping loyalty that is motivated by deep personal care."
This is taken from the script of episode 5 on the Character of God series made the Bible Project.

Today, a controversy arose where Jesus' disciples were now being accused of breaking the Sabbath by plucking grain heads. We will be reading Matthew 12:1–8 & Mark 2:27.
