施父迈克详细讲述了光明节的故事，即犹太人马加比家族领导下的反抗希腊人的战争。他强调犹太人的胜利并非依靠军事实力的优势，而是源于他们对上帝的坚定信仰和信赖。施父迈克引用了《第一册马加比》中的经文，说明犹太人在以马忤斯的胜利是上帝帮助的结果，而非单纯的军事实力。他指出，犹太人的胜利展现了他们对上帝的信赖和顺服，以及他们对上帝的敬畏和顺服。施父迈克还提到，犹太人战胜敌人后，对圣殿进行了清理和重建，并设立了光明节，这进一步体现了他们对上帝的虔诚和信仰。
施父迈克在讲解《训诫篇》时，强调了谦卑的重要性，告诫人们不要骄傲自大，因为世间的荣华富贵终将消逝，唯有敬畏上帝才是真正的荣耀。他引用了《训诫篇》中多处经文，阐述了尘土的卑微和人生的短暂，以及世间的权势和名利最终都会消逝的道理。施父迈克还指出，在上帝眼中，敬畏上帝的人比那些有权势的人更伟大。他劝诫人们要避免轻率地评判他人，要谨慎交友，要专注于上帝所呼召你爱、服侍和生活的那一部分世界。施父迈克还提到，人会经历两次死亡：肉体死亡和人们不再提及你的名字。他鼓励人们要谦卑，要专注于上帝，不要被世间的名利所迷惑。
