Tamika Simmons explores Psalm 37:4 and the importance of delighting in the Lord and aligning our desires with His will. Instead of treating God as a "genie in a bottle," we should seek to develop a deep, intimate relationship with Him, trusting in His plan and resting in His timing.

By cultivating faithfulness in our lives and communities, we can experience the true joy and fulfillment that comes from pleasing God and walking in His ways. This requires a shift in perspective, from focusing on our own wants and needs to seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Pastor Simon Obert emphasizes the critical importance of community in the Christian life, rooted in the very nature of God and the way He created humanity… challenging us to examine how we are cultivating warm, welcoming, wise, and willing community… both within the church and throughout our broader relationships.

Pastor Simon encourages us to embrace the call to community, to repent where we have fallen short, and to actively participate in building the kind of Christ-centered, others-focused relationships that reflect the heart of God. While this requires humility, wisdom, and a willingness to die to self for the sake of the greater good; it is so that we can be the community that God desires us to be - a community that glorifies the Son as Messiah and Savior of the world.

Pastor Michael Walker reminds us that we are called to be merciful people, reflecting the character of our merciful God. This means actively showing compassion and kindness to those in need, even when they have wronged us. As we grow in mercy, we will experience the joy and favor of God... and the world will see the love of Yeshua through us. Pastor Michael encourages us to commit to being an instrument of God's mercy, seek opportunities to help the hurting, forgive the failing, and share the gospel with the lost.

Pastor Michael Walker emphasizes the importance of Thanksgiving as not just an American holiday, but as a biblical celebration of gratitude. Pastor Michael encourages us to actively cultivate a thankful heart through our worship and obedience to the Word… and by doing so, we can honor God, deepen our relationship with Him, and experience the joy and blessings that come from a life full of gratitude.

Pastor Simon Obert offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the role of media and technology in our lives, particularly as it relates to our spiritual growth and our relationship with God. By emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong connection with God's "positioning system" and being open to His guidance, Pastor Simon encourages us to approach our spiritual journeys with a sense of humility, flexibility, and trust in the Lord's timing and plan.

Pastor Simon Obert discusses the transformative power of making eye contact with God, keeping our hearts and focus directed towards Him. By doing so, we can experience humility, bear fruit for God's kingdom, receive His help and protection, and be transformed to become more like Jesus. Pastor Simon encourages us to seek God's face and allow Him to purify our hearts so that we may see Him.

Pastor Michael Walker emphasizes the importance of developing a faith that perseveres and triumphs over our trials, to adopt a joyful attitude, understand God's purposes, seek wisdom from Him, and keep our eyes fixed on the eternal reward... rather than just our temporary circumstances.

Tamika Simmons explores the themes of fear versus hope found in scripture through the lens of the Star Wars franchise.  Throughout both there is a central conflict between fear and hope… but there is also an unseen and guiding power that provides strength and protection.

Pastor Simon Obert discusses the importance of community, and its biblical foundations.  Community is God's idea, not just a human construct... and it is rooted in the very nature of the Triune God.  While obstacles to community are inherent.. to include selfishness, grumpiness, lack of vulnerability, and an unwillingness to serve and sacrifice for others… Yeshua modeled the characteristics of a healthy community: warmth, welcoming, wisdom, and willingness to serve and sacrifice.

Pastor Simon emphasizes that the ultimate goal of community is to glorify God and draw the world to the knowledge of Yeshua as the Messiah and Savior.

Pastor Michael Walker expounds upon the message of the gospel as a message of freedom in Yeshua, and discusses how legalism seeks to add unnecessary rules and requirements to one's spiritual walk… taking away the freedom Yeshua has provided.

Just as the early church faced a conflict between Jewish and Gentile believers over the issue of legalism that threatened to divide the church… we too must remember that salvation is by grace through faith in Yeshua alone, not by works or adherence to the Mosaic law.

God desires unity among believers, not division caused by legalistic attitudes.  Believers should not judge or burden one another over matters of personal conviction or preference in worship.
