Today is FRI-YAY! And shout out day. Pastor Jeff wraps up Faith Question #13 and reminds us that since the Fall, no one can keep God's law perfectly—we all sin in what we do, think, and want. But God sent Jesus, who kept the law perfectly for us and made a way for us to be forgiven and saved.

Matthew 5:17

"Don't think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish but to fulfill."

Today, we learn with Pastor Jeff that God's law isn't just about what we do—it also includes what we think. Even our thoughts matter to God, because He sees our hearts, not just our actions.

Romans 8:7

"The mindset of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit to God's law. Indeed, it is unable to do so."

Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that since the Fall, no one can keep God's law perfectly—not in our actions, choices, or even our thoughts. That's why salvation isn't something we earn by doing good things, but a gift of God's grace.

James 2:10

"For whoever keeps the entire law, and yet stumbles at one point, is guilty of breaking it all."

This week on the podcast, Pastor Jeff talks about Faith Question 13: Can anyone keep the law of God perfectly? The truth is, since the Fall, no one can—God's good law shows us how to live and also reminds us how much we need His grace.

Psalm 19:7 "The instruction of the Lord is perfect, renewing one's life. The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise."

This week, Pastor Jeff helps us explore Faith Question #13: Can anyone keep God's law perfectly? The Bible shows us that everyone sins—even the heroes of faith—so no one has ever been perfect.

Romans 3:10 "None is righteous, no, not one… no one does good, not even one."

James 3:16

"For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice."

In this episode, Pastor Jeff continues exploring Faith Question 12, focusing on the Tenth Commandment and God's call to live with contentment rather than envy. We'll learn how comparing ourselves to others can steal our joy and how thankfulness helps us remember the good gifts God has already given us.

Galatians 5:26

"Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."

In today's episode Pastor Jeff explores what deceit really is—lying with our words or our actions by making something false seem true. We'll learn why deceit breaks trust, hurts others, and even harms our own hearts, keeping us from close and healthy relationships.

Psalm 101:7

"No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; the one who tells lies will not be retained here to guide me."

This week, we explore what God requires in the Ninth and Tenth Commandments—calling us to tell the truth without deception and to live with contentment instead of envy. Today, Pastor Jeff talks about why God takes lying so seriously and how even small lies can poison our hearts, break trust, and hurt our relationships with others.

"Lying lips are detestable to the LORD, but faithful people are his delight."
