HESED: The Grip & The Heart of God

What does it mean to be held by a love that refuses to let go, regardless of your circumstances or failures?In this sermon on Psalm 136, we explore the Hebrew word hesed—often translated as "steadfast love," "loyal love," or "lovingkindness." The message highlights how God's hesed represents a stubborn, committed grip on His people that is both praiseworthy in creation and "contra-conditional" in redemption. Discover how the hand that relentlessly holds you is connected to a Father's heart that delights in you, empowering you to extend that same loyal, exit-strategy-free love to others.In this episode, we cover:Understanding Hesed: Defining love with loyalty at its core and why it appears over 250 times in the Old Testament.A Praiseworthy Grip: How observing God's creation in Psalm 136 provides endless motivation for a robust praise life.Contra-Conditional Grace: Why God's steadfast love persists despite human waywardness, doubt, and failure.The Heart Behind the Hand: Exploring Exodus 34 and Luke 12 to reveal God's deep delight, patience, and generosity toward His children.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
