Adat Hatikvah Sermon Podcast

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...

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 ha...

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 #GodOfEmot...

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 #godofemo...

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, 2026 What 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 relatio...

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, ta...

From April 18th, 2026 Anger usually pushes people away. God’s anger does something different. It reveals. It confronts. It restores. God’s anger is restorative. Is yours? #GodOfEmotion #RestorativeAnger #Adatchicago

Sermon from April 18th, 2026 Saul didn’t need a new word. He needed to obey the one he had. God’s regret isn’t about a mistake It reveals what happens when His voice is resisted. Where is God’s voice already clear in your life? #adathatikvah #adatchicago #faith #obedience #discipleship

From the sermon on April 4th 2026: As we walk through Isaiah 53, we find that not all grief is the same. Some grief we feel. Some grief we cause. And some grief… the Servant (Yeshua the Messiah) carried to redeem.

From March 28th, “Choose this day whom you will serve.” — Joshua 24 Faith can be inherited. Allegiance cannot. This weekend, we’ll walk through Joshua 24 and wrestle with a hard question: What, if anything, are we still trying to keep alongside God? God’s zeal calls for more than agreement. It calls for exclusive allegiance. www.adathatikvah.org/sermons #adathatikvah #adatchicago #godofemotion

From Feb 21st, we explore Covenant Anger in Exodus 32 and discover how God’s anger is not reckless or reactive, but rooted in covenant loyalty and shaped by mercy.

From Feb 28th, Exodus 34 shows us that God’s character defines the relationship more than our failure does. His compassion restores. His covenant remains. His presence transforms.

From our service on Feb 14th. Exodus 20 and what it reveals about jealousy, desire, and covenant alignment. Scripture shows us a God who names Himself jealous not out of insecurity, but out of a redeemed relationship, guarding what He has brought near. When desire crosses boundaries, it becomes coveting. When God remains at the center, every other relationship finds its proper place. Watch or list...

From our service on Feb. 7th. In this teaching, we explore God’s grief in Genesis 6 and what it shows us about walking with Him when the world is broken. Scripture reveals a God who grieves out of love and makes a way forward without abandoning what still matters.

From our service on Jan. 31st. In this teaching from Genesis 4, we explore what happens when our emotions become dislocated from God's. The story of Cain traces a trajectory of distance, violence, escalation, and wandering, but it does not end there. Scripture closes the chapter with people calling on the name of the LORD, showing that realignment begins not with control or progress, but with depe...

From our service on Jan 24th. We examine God’s initial emotional posture toward humanity in Genesis 1 and Psalm 104. Before correction or command, Scripture reveals a God who delights in what He has made a delight that is faithful, not naïve, and shapes how God remains committed to us. You can watch or listen to this sermon and past series through the Adat app or on Roku, Apple TV, Google TV, and...

From our service on Jan 17th. In this teaching from 1 Corinthians 13, we explore why love is not just one emotion among many, but the center that shapes how we respond. Emotional maturity is not about feeling less, but about letting love rooted in God’s character order our lives. You can watch or listen to this sermon and past series through the Adat app or on Roku, Apple TV, Google TV, and Fire T...
