March 24, 2024
Sermon recap:
Just like the word "lekker" or "ubuntu" there are some words that cannot be translated into English with just one word. Hesed is a Hebrew word that has 170 English words to describe it. Unexpected loving kindness is one of many phrases used to try and show how much God loves us.

Read Scripture through context, culture, and Christ. Its purpose is to shape us into Jesus’ likeness through love, obedience, and faithfulness.
Jesus built his life on Scripture through prayer, learning and obedience, showing us how to know God deeply and walk daily in his purpose by staying rooted daily.
Saying “no” to sin is saying “yes” to freedom. Through grace, discipline, and daily surrender, we follow Jesus—not perfectly, but faithfully.
