Ahavah - A Hebrew Thought Of Love

Contributed by Alex De Guzman on Feb 14, 2020

Love or “Ahava” in the Hebraic mind is very different in today’s culture. In Hebrew, love is connected directly with action and obedience. It brings to mind the idea of longing for or breathing for another.

Most Hebrew words can be broken down into a three-consonant root word that contains the essence of the word’s meaning. The root word of ahava is “ahav.” The term ahav in Hebrew means, “to give.” True ahava, true love, is more concerned about giving than receiving. Being the center of someone’s ...read more

For us to identify unbelievers we need to read 2 Corinthians 6:14-16. This is one passage identifying two types of unbelievers. 2 ...read more

Failure To Understand The Light

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 14, 2023

So, with all these claims that Jesus has made, we find that people of every generation blurt out the same question, “Who are you?” Well, Jesus answers that question.

Tonight, we continue with Jesus’ discussion with the Pharisees. READ v. 25. Man asks a very basic question. Now Jesus had just made a phenomenal claim that He was the Light of the world. Of course, His claim shocked the Pharisees as well as others. And when you recap what Jesus had told these ...read more
