From July 18th: Isaiah 53:4says, “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried.” In Matthew 26, we watch one burden after another placed upon Yeshuat, the weight of redemptive history, being misunderstood, rejected love, covenant faithfulness toward failing disciples, the agony of Gethsemane, betrayal, abandonment, and denial.Why did He willingly carry it all? Because He came to carry what we never could.

When you hear the word zeal, what comes to mind? Anger? Passion? Intensity?In Matthew 21, Yeshua’s holy zeal moves toward people, restores true worship, seeks lives that bear fruit, and patiently calls us to receive the Son. Join us this Shabbat as we explore one of the most powerful chapters in Matthew and ask a question that reaches every heart:As God’s holy zeal has been revealed in Yeshua, is His holy zeal becoming my holy zeal?

Jonah did not run because God was harsh. He ran because God was merciful.In Jonah 4, Nineveh repents, God relents, and Jonah resents. The mercy Joel celebrated becomes the mercy Jonah cannot stand when it reaches his enemies.From June 27th, we will ask: What happens when the compassion we love for ourselves reaches people we would rather condemn?

From July 4th, 2026, Yeshua forgives what only God can heal, invites sinners to the table, brings new life, restores Identity, opens blind eyes, and gives us a voice. Then Matthew tells us “He felt compassion for them…”In Yeshua, the compassion and authority of Adonai have come near.Where do I need to receive His mercy, and where is He calling me to reflect His compassion?

This past Shabbat, we looked at Joel 2 in a message called Relenting Mercy: When God’s Compassion Interrupts Judgment.Joel reminds us that sometimes mercy begins with an alarm. God’s warnings are not the sound of Him giving up. They are the sound of Him calling His people home. Judgment is real. Repentance is urgent. But “yet even now,” God invites us to return because mercy is His character. God’s compassion interrupts judgment, quiets fear, turns shame into rejoicing, and pours out His Spirit on the whole community.If God’s mercy can interrupt judgment, can I trust Him to meet my repentance with compassion rather than shame?

From June 13th, 2026, what happens in God’s heart when the people He loves continually walk away?Hosea 11 gives us one of the clearest pictures of God’s heart in all of Scripture. We will discover a God who remembers, grieves, shows compassion, and calls His people home. Join us as we explore the powerful truth that God’s compassion refuses to let destruction have the final word.

From June 6th, 2026, can anything stop God’s everlasting love?Jeremiah 31 takes us into the heart of God after judgment. We discover a love that remembers the forgotten, yearns for the wandering, restores what seems broken, transforms the human heart, and secures the future.Join us this Saturday as we explore one of the most hope-filled chapters in Scripture and encounter the God who says, “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” God’s everlasting love removes every barrier that separates His people from Him.

From Saturday, May 30th. In Jeremiah 8–9, we discover that God’s judgment is not cold or detached. It flows from the grief of a relationship breaking apart. Jeremiah does not merely preach God’s message; he feels God’s grief.Join us tomorrow, May 30th, 2026, as we explore the heart of a God who grieves over what is broken and still calls His people to return.#adathatikvah #adatchicago #GodOfEmotion

From Saturday, May 23rd, what does God do when His people become too broken to heal themselves?In Ezekiel 36–37, we discover a compassion deeper than sympathy. God’s compassion moves toward what is broken: even when the world has given up on it, restoring what seems destroyed, replacing hearts of stone, until breath returns to dry bones.#adathatikvah #adatchicago #Ezekiel36 #Compassion #godofemotion

From our Sermon on May 16th 2026. We explore Isaiah 62 and the astonishing truth that God does not merely accept His people back. He rejoices in restoring them.Join us as we discover the joy of a restored relationship and the delight of a God who still calls His people “My Delight.”#Isaiah62 #GodofEmotion #Joy #Restoration #AdatHaTikvah #AdatChicago
