This week, Pastor Jeff is exploring Faith Question #11 and what God asks of us in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Commandments.

Today, we focus on living purely and faithfully by filling our hearts and minds with God's Word.

Psalm 119:9

"How can a young person keep their way pure? By keeping your word."

Today, Pastor Jeff talks about how what's in our hearts shapes how we treat others. Loving others like ourselves means remembering we don't know the whole story and choosing grace in our words and actions.

Proverbs 14:21:

"The one who despises his neighbor sins, but whoever shows kindness to the poor will be happy."

Today, Pastor Jeff continues our series with Faith Question #11: What does God require in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Commandments?

We learn that God calls us to love our neighbor as ourselves.

Romans 13:9:

"The commandments, 'Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not covet,' and any other commandment, are summed up by this commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself."

It is FRI-YAY! And shout out day! Today, Pastor Jeff wraps up Faith Question #10 by remembering that God calls us to worship Him on the Sabbath and to love and honor our parents. Through Jesus, we learn that when we believe in Him, we become part of God's family and God becomes our Heavenly Father.

John 1:12:

"But to all who did receive him, he gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in his name."

Today, we're learning with Pastor Jeff that obeying our parents isn't always easy, but it's one way we honor God and show Him love. God gave us parents to guide and protect us, and their rules and corrections are meant to help us grow wisely and safely.

Colossians 3:20:

"Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord."

Today, Pastor Jeff teaches that the Sabbath is a special time to slow down and joyfully focus our hearts on God, because worship is what we were created for.

Psalm 95:6

"Come, let's worship and bow down; let's kneel before the LORD our Maker."

Today we're learning with Pastor Jeff about the Fourth Commandment and the Sabbath—a special time God set apart for rest and worship. When we pause to rest and focus on God, we're saying with our hearts, "God, I trust You."

Genesis 2:3:

"God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, for on it he rested from all his work of creation."

Pastor Jeff teaches today that God's commands aren't meant to stop our fun—they're meant to help us live the best life He designed for us. The Fourth Commandment reminds us to worship God, and the Fifth teaches us to love and honor our parents.

Leviticus 19:3

"Each of you is to respect his mother and father. You are to keep my Sabbaths; I am the LORD your God."

Today is our first FRI-YAY of 2026! If you want Pastor Jeff to give you a shout-out in a future Fri-Yay episode, send us your name, age, and where you're from to [email protected] with the subject line Podcast Shout Out.

Today is also the last day we explore our Faith Question: What does God require in the First, Second, and Third Commandments?

Our Truth Bomb sums it up:

• That we know and trust God as the only true God.

• That we avoid all idolatry—never worship anything but Him.

• That we treat God's name with fear and reverence.

Pastor Jeff shares how Jesus perfectly fulfilled each of these commandments.

John 15:10

"If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in His love."

For our Faith Question this week, we're learning that names are powerful. Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that God's name is a strong tower—a place of safety, strength, and hope. We can trust Him completely.

Proverbs 18:10

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are protected.
