Did you know there’s a single word in the Old Testament that shows up more than 250 times—yet no English translation can fully capture its meaning? That word is Hesed. Since it’s one of the key words used to describe God’s character, understanding Hesed is essential. In this course, Dr. Joe Zhakevich, an expert in biblical Hebrew, will help us see how rich and powerful this word really is. Start the year with a study you won’t forget!
