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

From our Sermon May 9th, 2026What happens when worship continues, but the relationship underneath it begins to collapse?In Isaiah 1, God confronts a people who still gather, still sing, and still worship outwardly while their hearts drift far from Him. This is not a message about abandoning worship. It is a call to a restored relationship.“What would change if my worship aligned with my relationship with God?”#Isaiah1 #BrokenWorship #GodofEmotion #AdatHaTikvah #AdatChicago

How does God respond when His people persistently reject Him, and is there still a way back?On May 2nd, we walked through 2 Kings 17 and saw the slow progression of a broken relationship with God, not a sudden fall, but a gradual drift into compromise, resistance, and distance.But it leaves us with a question we cannot ignore:When it gets this far… is return still possible?If you missed it, take some time to reflect on Wrath & Return.#2Kings17 #GodofEmotion #AdatHaTikvah #AdatChicago
