Topic #2
The Meaning of “Listen” in Hebrew
“Shema” (Deuteronomy 6:4-5) is a common word in the Hebrew Bible, usually translated as “listen.” But the meaning of the word goes far beyond what your ears can hear.
Topic #3
The Meaning of “LORD” in Hebrew
“Yahweh” means that God is eternal and self-existent. He has always been God and always will be.
Topic #4
The Meaning of “Love” in Hebrew
The concept of “love” in the Old Testament (“ahava” in Hebrew) is very different from our word in today’s culture. Understanding the true nature of love inspires us to love God and others.
Topic #5
The Meaning of “Heart” in Hebrew
Today’s culture tells you to “follow your heart”. But Moses gave the ancient Israelites different advice (Deuteronomy 6:4-5).
Topic #6
The Meaning of “Soul” in Hebrew
In the Bible, a “soul” isn’t something you have; it’s something you are. To love God with all of your “Nephesh” is to go beyond a superficial faith and make a “soul-level” commitment.
Topic #7
What Does It Mean to Have “Shalom?”
Peace in the Old Testament isn’t just about the absence of conflict, but about something better replacing it.
Topic #8
The Meaning of “Hope” in Hebrew
Christian hope is a bold hope that looks back to the risen Jesus in order to look forward.
Topic #9
The Meaning of “Sin” in Hebrew
“Sin” is a word with a lot of religious and cultural baggage. One thing is sure: it’s not an outdated, archaic way of separating “good” people from “bad” people.
Topic #10
