What We’re Learning This Season
Nehemiah: Restoration & Redemption
The message of Nehemiah is restoration. The book records how God moved Nehemiah to lead the people to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem in approximately 446 BC. As the story unfolds, we see God restore godly leadership to Israel, restore the walls of Jerusalem, restore the broken faith of the people, restore a sense of community and heritage as God’s people, and restore the people’s knowledge of the God’s word and their desire to love and obey Him.

09 Fruit of the Spirit: Faith
Faith as a fruit of the Spirit is not a feeling or belief, but a transformative worldview based on four core convictions.
Explain expiation and propitiation
When studying the atonement, you’re likely to run across two technical words: expiation and propitiation. These terms tend to appear in a text without explanation. But since they are not in the Bible and they don’t often come up in daily conversation, it can be difficult to remember what they mean.
April 2024 Reflections
April 2024 news and updates from Wednesday in the Word with Krisan Marotta, the podcast about what the Bible means and how we know.
08 Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness
Goodness as a fruit of the Spirit isn’t doing random acts of kindness. Goodness is an active pursuit of what is right and holy in both speech and action.
What does YHWH mean?
When God reveals Himself to Moses at the burning bush), He identifies Himself as “Yahweh” or “Jehovah”, which is often translated “I am who I Am.” What does that name mean?
07 Fruit of the Spirit: Kindness
Kindness as a fruit of the Spirit is not good deeds. Rooted in understanding God’s kindness, it’s intentionally acting to benefit others.
